銅鑼焼き dorayaki

Start making dorayaki at home

recipe first, search from COOKPAD website, since dorayaki started few hundreds years ago, milk or butter should be not popular that time in Japan.

a. 2 eggs + 70g sugar + 1 tbsp honey

b. 80g plain flour + 1/2 tsp baking powder + 2 tsp water

c. 2 tsp water

1. mix a, bit until bubbles appears. not too short, not too long, too long will make the bread tooo fluffy and soft

2. sift flour and add baking powder to 1. mix well, and leave in fridge for 15 minutes.

3. add another two tsp of water, mix well.

4. heat up pan, then put it under running water for few seconds, to cool down the bottom

5. turn to small fire, add little bit oil, and wipe with kithen paper

6. use normal table spoon, drop one table spoon of paste on the pan, should hear some little noise, so the pan is not too cold or not too hot, I make two on one pan.

7. cover the pan, wait about one minute until steam comes up, or start bubbling. DONT WAIT FOR TOO LONG, else it will stick on the pan =(

8. turn over, leave about half minutes.

9. put red bean paste on one, and cover with another one =)

baidu – 铜锣烧,又叫黄金饼,因为是由两块象铜锣一样的饼合起来的,故而得名铜锣烧。是一种烤制面皮、内置红豆沙夹心的甜点,也是日本的传统糕点。日本卡通人物哆啦A梦哆啦七小子的最爱食品。 日文写法:どら焼き、ドラ焼き、铜锣焼き。

铜锣烧相传是日本江户时代(公元1603年-1876年),将军武士以军中的铜锣相赠恩人,恩人家贫拿铜锣当平底锅煎烤点心,竟创造出绝世美味。点心形状如铜锣,又以铜锣煎烤而成,故取名为铜锣烧。

据说有一天,源义经的心腹大将弁庆受伤,到一户民家疗伤,后来弁庆感恩,把自己随身的军乐器铜锣送给这户人家。不料这个人突发奇想,把铜锣当模型、烤麸拿出来卖。后来几经改良,到江户时代后期,逐渐出现用蛋、面粉、砂糖做外皮、中间夹红豆馅,类似今天的铜锣烧。

紅豆 相思豆

幾個星期之前從日本超市買了一包紅豆,因為看著店裡的紅豆沙流口水,他說幹嘛不自己煮,想來是比較安全衛生,又沒有添加劑什麼的。嘻,不過還是懶了很久,被他催了好多遍,過程也少不了他的協助。總之,記下來怎麼弄的先。

計量都不是很重要。

1.紅豆最重要的是要在最開始把壞的豆子都撿出去,最好是一顆一顆的看,或是幾顆幾顆的看。破的不要,壞的不要,太大太小的不要,因為煮的時候會太快或太慢煮好。

2.挑好後,豆子洗乾淨,然後放到煮鍋裡,用足夠的水泡一個晚上。

3.第二天大火煮開,之後小火兩個小時左右,時不時的去掉白色的沫沫。

4.煮到豆子軟了,可以輕易的弄破的時候。多煮煮應該沒問題。之後用蓋子擋著豆子,把紅豆水過濾到一個碗裡。這個水可以後來用作紅豆湯或是點心之類的。

5.剩下的豆子在鍋裡,加入糖。弄餡兒的話,實在要放很多很多的糖。他當時問我,糖還有沒有存貨?然後咵的一下把那一小盒糖全倒入鍋子裡了。。。其實後來又放了很多糖,因為覺得不夠甜。。我真是太嗜糖了,也不是很好 =P

6.一遍攪拌一邊把豆子弄碎,慢慢的就會成泥狀。本來裡面還有些水留下,慢慢的小火煮煮就都沒有了,最後會成醬狀。

7.放在冰箱裡時不時的就吃一口。嘻

Cupcake

周末见了好友,被请吃了一个小小的cupcake,觉得还不错。回家试了试

网上找到recipe都比较复杂,索性用banana cake的底先试试。因为家里是小的烤箱,所以温度什么的都跟大的不一样。而且没有muffin的烤盘 >.<

1 cup Self-rising flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

50g butter

small pieces of fruits (optional)

fruit jam/anything for topping (optional)

做法:面粉筛好,放糖,然后牛奶,鸡蛋,黄油。和好,放入喜欢的optional,水果之类的,下次我准备放oreo,哈哈,还有巧克力片和橘子汁应该也是个不错的搭配。混合好,放小cup里,最多1/2就够了,不然烤的时候会漏出来。小小的烤箱,130度就好了,15分钟应该就熟了,因为cup也很小。到150度,不到两分钟就该胡了。

就这么多了吧。。第一次的时候放了1cup的糖,小t说“你放了多少糖啊。。。”还放了点儿baking powder,后来觉得,吃完了牙涩涩的,第二次没放。第一次放了小苹果块,挺好吃的。第二次的时候。。没苹果了。。

可是第二次没放苹果,少放了糖,小t还说跟昨天味道不一样,就不吃了。。他偏说butter不一样。。

大概来说,第二次比第一次好啦。

下次烤好了再照相

Bacon Snack

從為食那兒借來了兩張照片,都是培根小吃的。話說有天小T問我他要是帶朋友回家的話,我能弄點兒甚麼吃的給他們,能弄出來的還真不多。。。

培根卷菜是挺不錯的一個,我們之前用的是綠豆角,貌似沒試過asparagus,下次試試。棗的話,貌似小T不是很感興趣。。。=P

Banana Cake

20130724

1 cup bread and pizza flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup Japanese sugar
2 ripe bananas
1 egg
30g NZ butter
Few drops of lemon juice
*bake@140 for 70 min and @50 for 5 min*

************************
20130703
1 cup bread and pizza flour
1 teaspoon baking powder (I might forgot to add another one =P)
3/4 cup Japanese sugar
4 ripe bananas
1 beat egg
30g NZ butter
Few drops of lemon juice
*bake@150 for 60 min and @50 for 5 min*

•notes•
I put lots of bananas this time since last time two raw bananas was not flavored enough. Maybe because there was not enough baking powder as well, it came out quite wet, and after it got cool, it turned quite ‘creamy’ – some wet texture that’s hard to explain…

Latest in front. Haven’t made Banana cake for ages. Since winter is coming too soon, getting too cold, we need something warm and sugar to keep on our life. I’m sure Darling miss my Banana cake too. =P

This time:
1 cup bread and pizza flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup Japanese sugar
2 raw bananas
1 beat egg
30g NZ butter
Few drops of lemon juice
*bake@170 for 45 min and @50 for 5 min*

•notes•
*Not much banana flavour first, I think it’s because of the raw bananas, or maybe we should try three bananas next time.
*Forgot to buy milk this time, although I add 1/4 cup of water 50ml to the egg, it does not give moist texture. And since bread and pizza flour is too strong, might try more liquid next time.

S在新西兰的时候做过很多次Banana Cake,只是recipe不是Alison Holst的,所以不是很容易找. (Alison Holst是很有名的新西兰厨师?写过一套食谱,后来和她的儿子Simon Holst一起, Mary说,他们的食谱都很可靠,百分百的书上写的和做出来的是一样的,如果自己没有乱来的话 =P)

前些日子T说想吃Banana Cake,简单的蛋糕,又很久没做过了,S就大发慈悲的开始了Banana Cake之旅

第一次–百分百按照网上搜来的recipe,当然也是经过精心挑选的, 因为计量单位的问题,个人感觉的问题,在S多年的baking经验的基础上…选出来的最容易也最可行的一个.细细

材料:

2 Cup – Self-raising flour
1 Cup – sugar
60g – butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 Cup – milk
2 eggs
2 bananas (8oz – about 2 medium ones)
Mix dry ingredients first, soften butter in a pot, when it cools down, add milk, egg, lemon juice, mix, and add well-mashed bananas.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, mix well
Line the baking bin with baking paper, and pour the mix to it
Bake @ medium (about 150 – 180 degree) for 1 and 3/4 hours
结果:因为用的是小的Oven。。。还有一些人为失误。烧到一半。。。细细。

第二次 — 由于Oven太小,所以材料减半

材料:

1 Cup – Self-raising flour
1/2 Cup – sugar
30g – butter
few drops – lemon juice
1 egg
1 banana
1/8 Cup – milk
Mix dry ingredients first, soften butter in a pot, when it cools down, add milk, egg, lemon juice, mix, and add well-mashed bananas.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, mix well
Line the baking bin with baking paper, and pour the mix to it
Cover the bin with tin foil in case the cake touch the top
Bake @ medium (about 150 – 180 degree) for 40 minutes
take the tin foil off, and bake for another 5 minutes @ 50 degree
结果:Not bad…but a little bit dry, not sweet enough and T wants more bananas.

第三次 — 多了超市买的香蕉,和糖,因为T说他的糖是天然的,所以没有一般的甜。

材料:

1 Cup – Self-raising flour
1 Cup – sugar
30g – butter
few drops – lemon juice
1 egg
2 bananas
1/8 Cup – milk
Mix dry ingredients first, soften butter in a pot, when it cools down, add milk, egg, lemon juice, mix, and add well-mashed bananas.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, mix well
Line the baking bin with baking paper, and pour the mix to it
Cover the bin with tin foil in case the cake touch the top
Bake @ medium (about 150 – 180 degree) for 40 minutes
take the tin foil off, and bake for another 5 minutes @ 50 degree
结果:甜度差不多了,但是超市买的香蕉比较生。。。在蛋糕里都能吃出香蕉的涩涩的感觉,不好。而且T竟然说还是不够。。。香蕉。。。

第四次 —

材料:在路边的小店挑了比较熟,比较大的两个香蕉。。。

1 Cup – Self-raising flour
1 Cup – sugar
30g – butter
few drops – lemon juice
1 egg
2 banana
1/4 Cup – milk
Mix dry ingredients first, soften butter in a pot, when it cools down, add milk, egg, lemon juice, mix, and add well-mashed bananas.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, mix well
Line the baking bin with baking paper, and pour the mix to it
Cover the bin with tin foil in case the cake touch the top
Bake @ medium (about 150 – 180 degree) for 40 minutes
take the tin foil off, and bake for another 5 minutes @ 50 degree
结果:还比较满意,牛奶按个人喜好多放了一点点。蛋糕整体来说比较湿,香蕉很是主角。。。但是蛋糕里的香蕉块有点儿偏紫色。。还有黄色的东西。。估计是鸡蛋没有打开。。。细细。总的来说还是很满意的,而且这样蛋糕比较重的话,凉了之后表面是平的,而不是一般的中间鼓起来的。
