Baking Taitai's 50 mins Amazing Pumpkin Bread 烘焙太太的50分钟神奇南瓜面包 (中英食谱）

This is my last pumpkin post of the month. In support of the LTU October pumpkin event, I have the opportunity to try out these pumpkin recipes - Pumpkin Tofu Cheesecake Jar, Pumpkin Ondeh Ondeh and Pumpkin Hokkaido Chiffon cupcakes for the past few weeks. Today I am going to share with you my latest successful experiment of this 50 minutes Amazing pumpkin buns. About half a year ago, when I discovered the 40 minutes bun recipe, I thought it was really amazing as you can churn bread out in such a short time. However, this 40 minutes bread recipe uses too much yeast and those who have tried find the texture to be dense and sticky by the next day. My experiment 2 days ago proved to be a champion over the 40 mins bread recipe as I have used the super food pumpkin to recreate a new quick bread recipe which uses much less yeast and is healthier too. This quick bread recipe takes all in all less than an hour to churn out homemade bread compared to normal bread making which requires more than 3 hours, amazing isn't it? 

这是本月的最后一个南瓜食谱。为了支持‘小拇指说好’的十月南瓜活动，我有机会尝试了这些南瓜食谱 - 南瓜豆腐芝士蛋糕瓶，南瓜椰丝球和南瓜北海道戚风小蛋糕。今天，我要与大家分享最近试验成功的50分钟神奇南瓜面包。大约半年前，我第一次尝试了40分钟面包食谱就觉得非常神奇了，因为在这么短的时间就可以把面包做出来。不过，这40分钟面包用的酵母也实在太多了，让许多人无法接受。而且面包放到隔天，咬下去还会粘牙呢！前两天的成功试验跟40分钟面包食谱比起来健康许多！除了用南瓜，酵母也大大的减少，面包的质感也有进步，不会粘牙。大家快来试一试吧！

Pumpkin Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcake 南瓜北海道戚风杯子蛋糕（中英食谱视频教程）

I am sure the Hokkaido chiffon cupcakes are not unfamiliar with many. My first attempt of these light cotton small chiffon cakes with a cream centre was a couple of years ago. I remembered making them for a family gathering and it was well received. This is my second attempt and I am making them in pumpkin flavour. This is made specially for my little boy who has just passed his ABRSM Grade 2 violin exam with a Merit result. You know, the night before the exam, he was so fearful and cried as it was his first violin exam. I took almost an hour to calm him down and assured him that everything would be fine. Moreover, mummy here would be accompanying him into the examination room to play the piano accompaniments for the three tested pieces. Thank God that he did not back out of the violin exam the next day and we played a good duet for the examiner. Well done boy!

Pumpkin Ondeh-Ondeh 南瓜椰丝球 （中英食谱教程）

Ondeh Ondeh, a traditional Malay and Nonya Kueh which is made of boiled glutinous rice balls filled with gula melaka and coated with grated coconut is like the Asian version of a Molten Lava Cake. As you bite into these chewy glutinous rice balls, the melted gula melaka will ooze out and lingers in your taste buds with sweetness and fragrance. It is usually made in pandan or sweet potato flavour. To support the pumpkin LTU event this month, I have made it in pumpkin flavour. My little boy who is not a fan of pumpkin, loves this kueh so much that he ate 9 pieces at one go! :)

Pumpkin Tofu Cheesecake Jar 南瓜豆腐芝士蛋糕瓶 （中英食谱视频教程）

It has been more than a week since I started using Tovolo tools in my baking and cooking. Its bright lovely colours have not only brighten up my kitchen and my mood, it has also fascinated my children with its fun and innovative designs. When I was baking the black bottom cupcakes using the Tovolo products for the first time, my little boy was so keen to help. He enjoyed using the cupcake pen and cupcake scoop to dispense the batter into the cupcake moulds as it was really easy for him to handle. Two days later, when I made the Oreo Cream Cheese cupcakes, my girl was attracted to the Tovolo tools and offer to help too. My new Tovolo tools have caused great fun bonding time with my kids as they are more interested to get involve in the food preparation. :) 

Taiwanese Fried Radish Cake 台式萝卜糕 （中英食谱教程）

This pan fried radish cake is one of my family's favourite tim sum and we will always order it when we go for yum cha in restaurants. This radish cake can be eaten either steam or pan-fried. We prefer the pan-fried version as it has a thin crunchy layer on the outside from frying, and soft on the inside. The ones sold locally are usually the Hong Kong style which uses Lup Cheong (chinese sausage) as one of its ingredients. The Taiwanese version uses ground pork instead and I decided to give it a try after seeing the recipe in Carol's book. It turns out to be just as nice. Do give this version a try if you haven't tasted it before. 

Oreo Cheese Cupcakes Video Tutorial 奥利奥芝士杯子蛋糕 (中英食谱视频教程 )

If you have read my last post on the Black Bottom Cupcakes, you would have known that I felt really sorry for dropping the birthday cake that I have made for my son's 7th birthday last Sunday. To make up for this, I have baked a batch of Oreo cheese cupcakes for him and try to fulfil what he had requested earlier on - an Oreo Cream Cheese cake. Together with my girl, we have decorated it and transformed it into cute animals as she wanted to surprise her little brother. Some looked like mice, some looked like doggies, what do you think? :D

上一个帖子，我有提到我不小心把做个儿子的生日蛋糕掉落在地上，感到好愧疚喔！都是因为赶时间和太累的关系，所以导致儿子要求的奥利奥芝士蛋糕给砸烂了！还好他蛮懂事，还反过来安慰我说没关系，我们还有之前做的黑底杯子蛋糕呢！为了补偿我的过失，做了这些奥利奥芝士杯子蛋糕给他。女儿为了给弟弟惊喜，还帮我把它打扮一番，变成可爱的小动物呢！ 有些看起来像小老鼠，有些像小狗，你认为呢？
