New members on My Kitchen

What a happy day I have more stuff on my kitchen. I will introduce you to my Pastry blender and Bear claw cutter. I was dreaming of this pastry blender since two or more years ago. That's why I'm soooo.... happy to have it.
And this bear claw cutter catched my eyes..then my brain works, ordered my hand to take it home too (hehehe...)

I used pastry blender manually to cut in butter into dry ingredient, when i make pie crust or puff crust. Previously i use my hand to mix the crust or use two table knifes like scissor, one knife in each hand. Its very useful tool and make me easy to mix crust ingridient.

I never used this cutter yet. This stuff is a kind of pasta and pastry tools, especially for cutting puff pastry. I should try to use this tool....hhhmm I've got an idea to make apple strudel this week so I can use this tool. Owh, can't wait to use it

Banana Cake..Hhmmm Yummy

Looking something for breakfast? Hhmmm a slice of banana cake and a cup of tea could be better. Enjoy your new morning with this moist and tasty cake while enjoying morning sun, bird sing and fresh morning air.

I made some improvements with the recipe. This time I use my new recipe. You need 6 egg (4 whole eggs plus 2 egg yolks), 250 g flour (you can reduce to 200 g), 150 g sugar, 1 tablespoon quick/SP and 250 g margarine (heat until melted). Owh ya don't forget with the bananas, I take six bananas then slice it into small pieces. Take only ripe bananas, it contains more sugar and it will make your cake moist. Underripe banana will cause your cake bitter taste. You can also add 1 - 2 tablespoon cream cheese to make your cake more delicious.

Pour sugar and flour into a bowl. Then add the eggs and SP. Mixed until fluffy and white. Add slices banana, beat until mix well. Last pour margarine, stir until mix well too. Then pour the dough into pan which spread with butter. Don't forget to preheat your oven first to 180 degree.

Bake 30 - 40 minutes or until toothpick come out clean. Lift from the oven, let it cool, then remove from the pan and cut into pieces. Now your banana cake ready to served, to accompanied your lovely morning. Happy Holidays !!
