Dutch biscotti

Biscottis are supposed to be dunked into a cup of dark coffee or tea that hasnt been sweetened. They will then soften up before you eat it and it'll make your plain drink sweet with a little infusion of its spices. Cool huh?

Remember those biscotti you eat in Starbucks? Well..now you can make your own!!! Here's how:

• 2 eggs
• 300 g of flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder (not soda)
  
• 150 g of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder or mixed spices
• 2 teaspoon of water
• 1 cup of raisins
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essense
  

• whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla essense together
• put in the flour that has already been mixed with baking powder and the spices
• then work with it on a lightly floured top until they are smooth
• form a log and place on a baking tray
• bake (180 normal oven / 160 if fan forced oven) until lightly brown
• then take out from the oven and cool for 10 C
• cut diagonally with 1 cm thick (or whatever you like as long as its not too thick)
• then place in the baking tray on its side
  
• bake (150 normal oven / 125 if fan forced oven) for 30 minutes or till dry and browned
  
• turn the biscotti half way through to dry both sides
  

Mediterranian Style Satay Chicken Wrap

hMmMmm - Perfecto!

In the attempt to recreate the satay chicken roll we usually eat in Denny's - Gilbert had recreated this sandwich. It's a fusion of Indonesian chicken satay with mediterranian flair, resulting in a mouth watering cafe-style sandwich wrap. Enjoy this magnificent taste!

• 1 pita bread (heat up on top of teflon pan till crispy)
  
• 1/4 of chicken breast - cut into cubes and pan fried until brown with olive oil and cracked pepper
  
• Salad of your choice
• Tomato
• Carrots
• Red onion
• Satay Sauce (we used: Watties Bite on the Side Satay Sauce - but anything will do really)

To serve: assemble the following layer by layer and secure with a toothpick. Serve with a smile. :)

Lapis Legit Laris Manis

Roasted almond bits topping off layers of egg goodness.

Well, this was my first attempt in making layer cakes - the more commonly known to Indonesians as Kue Lapis Legit. The process of making this cake is hideously tedious (baking only takes 2 hours!!) and since the cake mix uses so much egg yolks (17 eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~ i felt guilty in eating it cuz i felt like killing 17 eggs that could be chicken.. sigh..i've never made cakes with so much eggs in my entire life before - think of all the fat and the cholesterol!). Anyway everybody enjoyed the cake and I'm happy. Next attempt - will be better than this.

• 17 egg yolks
• 300 g butter/margerine
• 45 g shifted cake flour
• 200 g sugar
• 3/4 can condensed milk
• 4 egg whites
• 1 tblspn of dutch spices (mixed spices, cinnamon and clover)
  

- Beat in butter, sugar and condensed milk until smooth and white
- Add in the egg yolks one by one - beat in until all mixed and incorporated together
- Mean while, heat up your oven to 180C (top flame only) and leave it for 15 minutes
- Beat in 4 egg yolks until they are stiff
- Incorporate the stiff eggwhite into the egg yolk mixture and Fold througly with a spatula
- Now get your desired baking pan (better if it has a 1.2 L capacity) and line with baking paper at the bottom of the pan only and not the sides because it causes the cake to shrink
- Then, place 3 tablespoon of cake mixture into the pan and then bake for 3 minutes
- The cake layer should have a brown and dry texture within 3 minutes, if this doesnt occur this means that your oven is not hot enough. Temperature is the key to this cake, so take good care.
- Once the layer is brown, add in another 3 table spoon of cake mixture and repeat the baking process for 3 minutes.
- Keep the temperature high until the cake has reached 3/4 height of the cake tin, then reduce the heat by 5C
- Then repeat the spooning and baking process until the mixture is finished and at the last layer, sprinkle some chopped roasted almond and bake for 3 minutes.
- Then, change the oven flame to top and bottom together to 180. Place your baking rack in the middle of the oven.
- Cover the top of your cake with tin foil to stop it from drying and burning and bake a further 15-20 minutes until the cake is cooked. (You can tell this by poking it with a bamboo skewer, and if it comes out clean, that means ur cake is cooked! YAY!) If not, then bake a further 5 minutes.
- Cool, Serve. Hooraayy!!
