Blueberry Cheesecake (Again)

 AngahRuz requested for Blueberry Cheesecake before he returns to his university tomorrow.... since he only reminded me after dinner last night, I can only made do with what I have in hand... luckily I had a can of blueberry topping in the pantry but not in time to thaw the frozen cream... therefore I modified the recipe a bit resulted not as fluffy as it should be but I think reasonably ok... so next time I have to strictly follow the below recipe.

Cinnamon Bread Pudding

 My baking mood is switched on while AngahRuz is home during CNY. There were some stale bread in the fridge so I turned them into bread pudding for breakfast which is always the kids' favourite. It was a big hit amongst the two boys, Liana & daddy as usual. This time I bake the pudding in pie maker and it is cooked just within 7 minutes! Conventionally takes 45 minutes to cook a pan in an oven. I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar in layers and on top to produce brown look and also very fragrant pudding!

 Bread pudding does not require accurate measurement and therefore dummies can make it successfully.... most importantly it is very delicious! Here is the way I made mine, usually throwing whatever I have in hand.

By: Roz@HomeKreation
Makes: 8" square or six 4" individual pie shape
INGREDIENTS:
11 pcs Bread Slices - cubed
500ml Milk*
2 tbsp Sugar*
3 Eggs* (* mixed)
Brown Sugar + Cinnamon Powder

METHOD:
1. Soak cubed bread slices with milk mixture* until soften (about 30 minutes).
2. Scoop half into an 8" tin, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar & cover with remaining bread mixture.
If using pie maker, fill half way with bread mixture, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar & cover with bread mixture until full.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
3. Bake at 180C for 45 minutes for an 8" tin or 7 minutes using pie maker.
4. Serve warm with custard sauce.

250ml Milk + 1 tbsp Custard + 1 tbsp Sugar + ½ tsp Vanilla Essence
Microwave for 5 min & stir every 1 min.
Serve warm.

Lagi satu rekaan Along mempelbagaikan kegunaan pie maker. Resepi bread pudding ni biasa2 jer tapi bila di masak dalam pie maker, harum gula cinnamon yg garing tu memang membangkitkan selera..... Anak2 Along suka cinnamon sugar, jadi Along pun rekalah bread pudding perisa cinnamon sugar. Sebenar nya buat bread pudding tak perlukan resepi yg tepat tapi tetap akan menghasilkan puding yg sedap dan yg penting ada sos kastad! Sekejap jer abis licin......

Chapati Folders

 Chapati is my family traditional's meal, loved by everyone... I came from a very big family and I recalled that when we were children, everytime my mother made chapati for dinner, we all applaused with joy - it was considered special. My father too took a pride of my mother's chapati that he considered the best. My grandmother was half Indian and therefore making chapati was considered a basic skill.

This time I made chapati folders - using the basic chapati recipe but further fry it on griddle until crispy and with filling. Since it is using atta flour (wholemeal), it is very filling but my sons had two each!

By: Roz@HomeKreation
CHAPATI (8 pieces):
500g Atta Flour (Indian wholemeal flour)
Water + salt + sugar
- Mix & knead. Divide into 8 balls & brush with oil.
- Leave it for at least 10 minutes before roll it thin.
- Cook on a hot griddle, flipping frequently until cooked.
- Spread with butter/ghee once cooked.

FILLING:
Some leftover beef steak
1 Big onion
Chopped Cabbage, Tomato & Cucumber, Red Chili
Pounded 2 cloves garlic, ginger, black pepper

SAUCE:
BBQ Sauce, Mayonnaise, Chili Sauce

METHOD:
1. Heat up 1-2 tbsp oil & stir-fry pounded ingredients until fragrant.
Add in the rest & stir for a minute.
2. Melt a tbsp margarine & place a piece of cooked chapati.
Place some filling on top.
Pipe the sauce on top & fold.
Lift out once the chapati is crispy & serve right away.

Along buat roti capati ni untuk sarapan pagi dan kali ni Along buat folders sebab anak2 Aong suka makan camni. Ada pula beef steak leftover dari malam, so hiris2 buat filling, memang best sangat tengok they all makan. Roti ni guna tepung atta, so memang cepat kenyang - emak Along suka buat ni tapi lipat 4 segi & cicah dgn kuah sardin dan kacang panjang goreng untuk makan malam... abang2 Along dan arwah Abah suka sangat makan camtu.

Nak bancuh & uli ni kena pandai supaya roti tak liat, nak cerita pun tak tau... Selalu nya org perap dulu supaya tepung nya lembut tapi Along selalu buat tak main perap2, terus je canai & roti tetap lembut walaupun sudah sejuk. Bagi anda yg baru nak belajar, kena lah perapkan sebentar k.
