Florentine Almond Cookies

When daddy is away, we bake! HAHA. 

Bake we did, while daddy's plane was taxiing. I wanted to try florentine almond cookies for the longest time, and finally I did! And it's almost finished now too. Thinking of making more tonight.

Super simple! I bought the premix from Phoon Huat quite some time ago. Also bought almond slivers, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. 


I used this recipe here, and here's the ingredients I used.

70g almond flakes
25g pumpkin seeds
35g sunflower seeds
50g florentine powder

Line an at least 9x9 inch tray (I used a 9 inch round tray) with baking paper. Mix all the ingredients together and lay flat on the baking tray. Bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 14 minutes.


They told to cut right after taking out from the oven, but it hasn't set yet so I didn't. Once cooled I broke it into shards. SEDAP ok! Feel less guilty eating this compared to a cookie. HAHAHAHA. Didn't get much though.


And after the kids saw me bake, they wanted to bake as well. And insisted on it! So I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies. My boy wanted to roll his into worms, for his bestie Uncle. Hahaha.


Baked and ate at the same time. Princess ate the cookie dough too. Haha. Evening well spent! :)

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
