CHELSEA BUNS - <img src="http://www.filehive.com/files/081103/tag8.PNG"

Since now the kids had started schooling again, so mama's duties start very early in the morning...perparing breakboxes for them. For breakfast, they normally go for cereal. Phew....that's a relief....Since Syahmi has to stay back for hockey practise today, I packed his lunch as well. Today's breakbox consists of Chocolate Mini Muffins, Polony Sandwich, a packet of crisp and two energy sweets as the kids called it and a bottle of plain water. Just managed to snap the photo of the muffins and mom and dad had that for breakfast over a cup of coffee....alhamdulillah....

Our lunch menu......

When we reached home from school around 4.30pm, I went straight to the kitchen. Had been wanting to try out this cheese cake for quite sometime...finally, I made it today...wished I had made it earlier on! It's delicious. Which cheese cake mama...ah ahhhh...not telling now...will post it later...hehehe...as if anybody cares eh?. And guess what people...I MADE CROISSONTS today...and it came out just like CROISSONTS and not something else! Hihihi....Once I tried making croissonts at Haleema's house, but I guess the yeast was bad, and it didn't come out good. From that day, I always think that I am not able to do croissont. But today, I proved myself wrong! I CAN DO CROISSONTS...la poyonyer!. Anyway, since the look of the croissont is not so presentable though the taste is simply lovely, I'll try and bake them again soon and hopefully I'll paste the step by step photos as well...so be patience people....

For today's entry, I'll just paste this Chelsea Buns recipe that I got from a South African magazine called Woman's Value. August 2006 issue and the recipe is on page 59. Well, actually it's a Huletts Sugalite promotion page, and this recipe comes under 'Baking for Diabetics'. But since I don't have any Huletts Sugalite, I just used white sugar and for the filling, I actually used Kak Rossya's. Cilok jangan tak cilokkkk.... Thanks kak....

CHELSEA BUNS

Ingredients :

210 ml fat-free milk (I used full cream milk)
60 ml low-fat margarine (I used Buttercup margarine)
445 g white bread flour (I used cake flour)
65 ml Huletts Sugalite (I used 1/4 cup sugar)
7 g instant dried yeast (1 g is approximately 1/4 teaspoon)
1 large egg ~ lightly beaten

Filling :

5 ml ground mixed spice
5 ml ground cinnamon
65 ml (half a sachet) Huletts Sugarlite
50 g raisins
50 g chopped dried apricots

Glaze :

125 ml Huletts Sugalite

Method :

1. Heat the milk and margarine until just melted. Set aside to cool until lukewarm.
2. Mix the flour, Sugalite, yeast and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the lukewarm milk and the egg. Knead for 10 minutes then cover and set aside in a warm area to double in size. Knead the dough again, then roll out to form a 40 x 22cm rectangle.
3. Filling Sprinkle the dough with the filling ingredients, then roll up like a Swiss roll. Cut into nine slices. Place the slices into a 20cm square baking tin and allow to rise again until doubled in size. Bake in a preheated oven (190C) for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
4. Glaze Mix the Sugalite with 60ml water. Simmer in a saucepan for five minutes or until it starts to thicken slightly. Pour over the hot Chelsea buns when they come out of the oven.

Note :

1. For the glaze, I spread some golden syrup.
2. Kak Rossya's filling:

Quote:

4 tbsp butter, softened
2tsp ground cinnamon
50g soft brown sugar
50g currants

To make the filling, cream the butter, cinnamon and brown sugar together in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving 2.5cm border around the edges. Sprinkle over the currants.

Note to myself :

1. rossya>> Kak, you misunderstood. Yang tak cantik tu croissont and not this. This is Chelsea Buns. Croissont kita hitam on top because of the egg yolk.
2. yangmazni>> Arigato gonzaimas Maz...hehehe...betul ke tu? Bento tu asal dari Maz ler!
3. muni>> Dua pupu ke kupu-kupu kot...hehehe....
4. zakiah zainudin>> Mama tumis cili dulu sebab tengok kat kedai, kalau diorang goreng apa pun, diaorang akan tumis cili dulu. Tapi since nowadays kena masak guna serbuk cili, no choice la, I have to tumis bawang dulu baru masuk cili powder. Janji cili sudahlah....

12. izan>> Izan boleh insyaAllah...tapi kena kuat semangat dan tak mudah mengaku kalah. Bila cuba sesuatu resipi, cuba sikit je, like 1/2 or 1/4 adunan. Incase tak jadi, taklah kecewa sangat nak let go. Then cuba buat lagi sampai berjaya. Boleh juga menguli dengan tangan tapi kena lamalah...Mama tengok kat Forum Cari tu, ramai juga yang menguli dengan tangan dan hasilnya alhamdulillah cantik gebu juga.
