french toast.


The easiest and quickest way to serve breakfast to your loved ones (not including my husband, because he hates bread to the bone). Got the recipe from here.

What you need:

  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 8 slices of bread
  • Butter
  • Maple syrup or Nutella or palm sugar
How to:


  1. Beat together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak up some of the mixture.
  3. Melt some butter over a pan on medium heat. Fry bread until brown in both sides.
  4. Serve them warm with anything. Maple syrup, vanilla ice cream, palm sugar, jam or nutella.

whoopie pies.

I've been meaning to make Whoopie Pies since i don't know when. Couple of days ago a friend of mine asked me to make this, and this is it! I got the recipe from the whoopie pie recipes collection at www.taste.com.au 

What you need:
  • 125 g butter (1 stick), softened
  • 3/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (substitute it with plain yoghurt)
Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C
  2. Line 4 trays with baking paper
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time.
  4. Meanwhile, sift flour, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda, and baking powder into a bowl. 
  5. Add half the flour mixture to butter mixture, stir to combine. Add hal of the buttermilk and stir to combine. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture and buttermilk until just combined.
  6. Drop level tablespoons of misture pntro prepared trays, 5 cm apart. Bake 1 tray at a time for 8 to 10 minutes, or until puffed and cooked through.
  7. I'm using green tea frosting and cheese cream frosting remainings from the cupcakes i made. After the doughs are cooked through, sandwich level tablespoons (or you can just pipe the frosting) between cakes to make at least 20 whoopie pies.
  8. There you go, easy and very delicious!
