Bake again and again...

Pau time, again.. Aliff, the pau eater (that's what he called himself) asked me to make pau again. Nasib baik inti kentang ada lagi. As I hv bn talking abt pau, I think it wud be good to share the recipe. Here you go...

Pau:
500gm tepung gandum
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp garam
2 tsp instant dry yeast
1 tbsp gula castor
2 tbsp shortening (or margarine)
250ml air suam

Cara:
1. Campur semua bahan kering kecuali dry yeast dan gaul rata
2. Dah rata, baru masukkan yeast dan gaul lagi (tip: yeast tak boleh mix terus ngan garam, nanti yeast mati)
3. Masukkan shortening/marjerin dan gaul rata (tip: shortening membuatkan pau warna putih)
4. Masukkan air sedikit demi sedikit dan uli doh sampai licin dan tak lekat kat tangan. Knead lama sikit untuk lebih ringan dan lembut
5. Ketepikan doh dan tutup ngan kain lembap or cling wrap sampai doh naik 2x ganda (lebih kurang 1hr)
6. Dah naik, punch (tumbuk) doh untuk lepaskan udara yang terperangkap
7. Bulat2kan dan letak inti
8. Letak atas daun pisang or kertas minyak for another 30 mins supaya naik lagi
9. Steam for 10mins. Kalau guna Trio steamer, tak payah boil the water dulu, just letak dlm steamer, set timer for 10mins, and on.

Notes:
1. Jangan buka masa steam
2. Pastikan air tidak menitik atas pau semasa buka penutup to ensure smooth surface.

Believe it or not, Aliff made another request for choc moist cup cakes. So, I ended up with another baking that evening. Anyway, it's the Father's Day, so why not! So, here is the outcome.. quick and simple bc deco as it was already 6.30pm.

 

I luv this recipe so much which I use for cc sale, too. Don't mind sharing as rezeki Allah yang tentukan. Wanna give it a try? pls do, my dear..

Choc Moist Cake:
1 cwn koko (I normally use Tudor, so shtould reduce to abt 3/4 cwn)
2 cwn air panas (utk larutkan koko)
3 cwn tepung gandum
250gm butter
2 cwn gula (I use 1 cwn gula castor, 3/4 cwn brown sugar)
4 eggs
1/3 cwn susu pekat manis
3.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 tsp vanilla essence

Cara:
1. Larutkan koko dlm air panas, ketepikan
2. Satukan tepung, baking powder dan bicarb soda, ketepikan
3. Pukul telur dan gula sampai kembang (low, then med speed)
4. Masukkan butter sedikit demi sedikit dan pukul lagi dengan med speed
5. Masukkan vanilla essence
6. Masukkan tepung yang telah dicampur baking powder and soda bicarb. Gaul rata, low speed
7. Masukkan larutan koko dan gaul rata. Ia agak cair.
8. Masukkan susu pekat dan kacau lagi
9. Bake in a pre-heated oven (175oC) for abt 45mins untuk sebiji kek or 20 mins for cup cakes (adjust temp and time according to yr oven)

Notes:
1. Blh guna self-rising flour. Kalau takde, gantikan dgn tepung gandum with baking powder i.e 1 cwn tepung : 1 tsp baking powder. Resipi kat atas, I lebihkan 1/2 sudu.
2. Jangan pukul terlalu lama lepas masuk tepung, nanti bantat
3. Kalau oven yang kurang rata kepanasan, boleh pusingkan tray tapi make sure do that selepas at least 1/2 dari masa memasak.
4. Boleh ganti butter ngan buttercup dalam tin untuk buat cup cake. Hasilnya lebih cantik..

Selamat mencuba!!
