Monkey Bakes.....

3 weeks ago......out of boredom and curiosity
and also the feeling of not fully being utilised at home
made Monkey jumped outta her lazy couch, did some groceries and soon the kitchen was messy and noises were being made

I was attempting my very first Macaroons....wuakakakakakakakakaa
JS was looking even more curious than I did
"Do u know how to use the weighing machine?"
Monkey sulked >.<

JS: "U be careful with that ok?"
Monkey: "Get out!!!!!!!"

and soon I was left all alone mending my own mess and business

I was so greedy....since I'm gonna use the oven, kitchen aid, and all the utensils...
might as well make more stuffs....

so I made
Failed Macaroons
Butter Cake *Thanks to Si Fu*
Sausage Rolls

sieving the grounded almonds for macaroons

this was how I separate the whites outta the yolks...
by using me monkey palms :D

gotta wait till the whites turned glossy peak

so in the mean time....weigh ingredients for Butter Cake
Monkey was seen here trying to decide how to use this measuring bowl that comes in all sizes
from Italian Chef - Mario Batali
U can get his products at Isetan Singapore

hmmmm I think need practice to make the sizes standard
then even out the surface with a wet finger tip
and rest these macaroons for 30 minutes
so while waiting and baking...have tonnes of time to make chocolate ganache

Macaroons failed...coz it has got NO legs
and not glossy enuff...
a week later I learnt fr my Reader Elly...u need to AGE the damn egg whites for 24 hours
O_O
sigh...so much of work......
so I need to find time to make macaroons again

however the Butter Cake turned out fantastic :D :D :D


creamie buttery and moist :D:D:D
I'll make this again :))))))))))))))

and my herbed italian pork sausage rolls :)))))))))
