Brought grinder and cutting nuts to pieces becomes very easy but the dates still giving me problems. I put 150gm of dates in the small grinder on it but it cannot move so i take out half the dates content and grind it and was successful but when i pour in the other half inside it turn so slowly and seem like the earlier half of the dates smash to paste form stuck the whole blade. I had a hard time getting all the dates out as it stuck inside like a glue. Too tired already and i just cut the remaining dates into smaller pieces and mix with the rest of the ingredient in a metal tray lol. Today filling i add more honey and lessen the lemon and lime juice and hope it taste better if it is sweeter and less sour. The crust this time is dryer as it suppose to be. Next time i will just cut the dates into pieces and use mortar and pestle to smash it instead lol. you could probably get a food processor for the dates instead...stronger power and wont jam Quote
doncoin Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I am so hooked on watching the Great British Baking Show and the one-liners from the judges and the hosts. Wish I have the patience to go learn some of the techniques. shyc 1 Quote Love.
shyc Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Indeed the "Great baking series" are amazing and learned many simple tricks from some of the shows. Even the Great Australian bake off is good, unfortunately only seen once the American Bake off but they don't seems to be doing well. Some of Paul Hollywood tips are really helpful. He gave me more confidence in attempting breads. Side track a recipe from YouTube Looks easy but I ended up with very wet dough and couldn't shape like in the video, so baked mine in a baking tray instead. ProMouth 1 Quote

shyc Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 On 08/05/2017 at 2:04 AM, yoyo74 said: I get the name and receipt from the below video. Normally when there is a vegetarian in the name with some meat name it is normally a mock meat or something that is use to replace the meat. If you see the word vegan, you can expect no eggs, no milk and no honey. Cheese is a by product of milk so is not allow too. So when you see both the word vegan than cheese it means the cheese is a replaced by some other things vegan. Finally got a chance to do something similar. Didn't follow the recipe strictly. half size so most ingredient are half. For base, used dried apricots and almond instead. Plus digestive biscuits without using coco powder or coconut chips. For filling, Used only 2 avacado. Juice of one lemon about 80ml. Use thick coconut cream instead of coconut oil. Used honey and added one extra ingredient which is a teaspoon of konnyaku jelly power. Verdict/review: base after mixing looks rather dry and crumbly so added extra 15ml melted butter. Still looked crumbly but after chill, firm enough to cut and crumble at light touches. filling is rich but lemon overpower all other flavour. no distinct taste of avacado or coconut cream. had anticipated to be like the avacado drink since I use coconut cream but nothing close as lemon is way too much. Lemon did help to prevent oxidation but after 2 days in the fridge start to turn from green to 'blackish' so do eat as fast as possible. Thumbs up for the simplicity of making it so very good for beginners to try. p/s: I cut up apricot so tat why chunky, texture make it more interesting than all being smooth. Lemon zest from the one lemon added to both base and filling. Freeze for half hour before cutting and return to fridge thereafter. After it was made I left it in the fridge overnight. Konnyaku had set the filling but still soft at the touch. So did the freeze after, only so it is firm for getting a good clean cut. Quote

Konnyaku had set the filling but still soft at the touch. So did the freeze after, only so it is firm for getting a good clean cut. I normally would avoid digestive biscuits as it is low in nutritional benefits. This week i try another method. The base i use almonds, dried apricots, desiccated coconut and grind them all together. I use some coconut oil on it so it can stick more together. The filling i soak a bottle of cashew nuts overnight and drain it. I pour the drain cashew nut, 125ml honey, 2 packets of strawberry, 1 small packet of coconut milk, a pinch of salt into the blender and blend it. I pour the filling on top of the crust than pour another 2 packets of blueberries on the filling and spread on top of it. Send it into the freezer to make another ice cream cake. Actually all these simple method to make a healthy ice cream cake can change a lot of variety by changing any of its fruits or nuts which is also more in nutrition value. shyc 1 Quote

Bread flour Hey bro, that may be a good idea, as I home bake a bit too. Buying these items from ntuc supermarket can be quite costly... I too have been thinking of a commercial supplier to save cost. I need about 40kg PFlour, 16kg SRFlour, 25kg CasterS, and 600 eggs!! It is just a nightmare to stock these in my living room during the festive baking season. I was even planning to convert a bedroom into an airconditioned storeroom. Eggs are a huge problem they spoil so fast in our local heat, I once had to throw out 200 eggs!! Anyway, just to chat with like-minded guys here on some ideas. Cheers, Mike Quote

I think most things at baking needs shops are a little more expensive than supermarkets, than again many baking essentials are not found in supermarkets. 15 hours ago, stan_chit said: Any baking group to join? Can check under the clubs menu but again very low participation rate. Alternatively these days I find many great YouTube Teachers, just search for the kind of baking you want to learn. For me I will source for a few of similar topic and than embark on one that I think is simple and easy for me to follow. Quote
