Cinnamon rolls

2010-08-21T19:42:00.001-07:00

This recipe is from Allrecipes.com

The rolls tasted great. I had two for buka puasa after eating a plate of rice! It was that good, I had to have another one for sahur too!

The recipe is so simple except for the part where you have to knead the dough, since I was fasting I didn't have the energy to give it the proper kneading but it turned out excellent anyway :P

The horror is finding out the amount of sugar used in the recipe!!!Diabetics stay away =)

Must try recipe.

Ingredients

3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine, softened
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in margarine; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, softened margarine.
Roll out dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle. Spread dough with margarine/sugar mixture. Sprinkle with raisins if desired. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal size rolls and place cut side up in 12 lightly greased muffin cups. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until browned. Remove from muffin cups to cool. Serve warm

Best Soft Oatmeal Cookies

2010-02-04T21:05:00.000-08:00

Got this recipe from my trusted website allrecipes.com. It is the most delicious oatmeal cookie ever, chewy, and not too sweet. The downside is, it's gone within a few hours je..hoho. I usually make half of the recipe because I'll be the one gobbling up the cookies!Merbahaya kalau make a whole batch..

This is the recipe:

1 cup butter, white sugar and brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract, baking soda and salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups cooking oats

Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, cream butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour,baking soda,salt and cinnamon;stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour. (I don't do this...just stick it in the freezer for 5 minutes)

2. Preheat the over to 375 deg F (or 190C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar ( I don't use sugar)

3. Bake for 8-10mins. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Try this recipe. You would not regret it..errr..but maybe you'd regret eating to many cookies!

The best cheesecake ever!

2009-11-23T22:02:00.000-08:00

Got this recipe from allrecipes.com. I bought a packet of cream cheese thinking that it'd be enough for a whole cheesecake but I actually needed 4! So I made a quarter of the recipe, the best part is that the website can change the recipe for you so I didn't have to pull out my calculator.

This is it...the yummiest cheesecake:

Ingredients

15 graham crackers, crushed ( I used biskut tiger)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream (substituted sour cream with 1 cup yoghurt + 1 tsp baking soda)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.

I know you'll love it. Here's the link to the recipe. Enjoy!
