Doughnuts

DOUGHNUTS! Boy was I sooo happy when the dough rose! I have low confidence handling bread. But these are soft and yummy! Only thing is I can't make a small batch, don't know if it'll work. So lots of doughnuts to go round. Original recipe:  https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017060-doughnuts INGREDIENTS 1 ¼ cups milk 2 ¼ teaspoons (one package) active dry yeast 2 eggs 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled ¼ cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 4 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out the dough Oil for frying PREPARATION Heat the milk until it is warm but not hot.

Rice Krispies Treats

Ingredients 1 bag marshmallows 200g (Phoon Huat's doesn't melt easily) 1 box krispies 175g 1/4 cup butter (55g) Melt the butter in a big pot. Once melted, add in marshmallows and melt that down too. Once melted with the butter, add in rice krispies, mix and spread in a buttered (I used oil spray) glass baking dish and pat it down to shape. Glass tray is best, easiest to clean. On second try, I tried using 1 box of rice krispies that was 130g in weight, with 250g bag of marshmallows and use butter 50g. If wanna use 300g marshmallows also can. Better proportion.

I'll post recipes first, cos I'm lazy to upload pictures. Nagasari Jagung Original recipe: http://narny.blogspot.sg/2010/08/nagasari-jagung.html 450ml water 175g sugar 1 pandan leaf Boil the above until the sugar dissolves. 1 packet Hoon Kueh flour (120g) 200 ml water In another pot, mix flour bit by bit in the water and gently simmer. I used a whisk. My first time making this, I had a hard time removing the lumps cos I added the flour all at once!

Finally add the corn and stir for another 1 min. Spoon 2 tbsp ...
