Peach-a-Berry tart

Another interesting recipe for me to utilize some of my bal ingredients – Peach-a-Berry pie. As usual, I made some changes in order to finish up my ingredients. Also, recipe requires 2 pie crust but I only used 1 as base, thus, my pie is kind of ‘topless’, looking more like tart than pie.
End result – a very ugly looking pie but taste GREAT! D sour taste of d raspberries adds a very nice ‘touch’ to d overall sweetness of d pie. D bal streusel topping that I added on top also added a crusty ‘bite’ to d pie, which to me, is a nice additional too. But might slice up d peaches next time in order to make it look better. Or maybe it's supposed to look so ugly, thus, d need for a 2nd crust to cover it up... mmmmm

• 1 can of halves peaches – drained
• 1 cup frozen raspberries – thawed & drained
• ½ cup white sugar
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 pie crust
• ½ cup Streusel Topping

1. Preheat oven to 190C.
2. Gently mix peaches & berries with sugar, flour, & cinnamon. Transfer all onto d pie crust. Sprinkle with streusel toppings be4 spreading thin slices of unsalted butter across d top.
3. Bake 50 mins in d preheated oven, until crust is golden brown.

Cinnamon Cranberries bread

As mentioned in my previous post, am trying to finish up as much bal ingredients as fast as I can be4 d big move. Thus, I modified this recipe a bit to include whatever I can ‘throw’ in.

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cups bread flour
• 4 tbsp sugar

Put all ingredients into d ABM according to made. Select basic with light crust setting & start.

Chocolate Chip Muffins

After trying to finish as much ingredients in d fridge for d HMB, there’s still some bal whipping cream to be utilize. So I decided on this Chocolate Chip muffin recipe to use it up. Original recipe yield 12 regular sized muffins but I split it up into lots of tiny muffins & 11 smalls.







End result - muffins didnt raise nicely but both testers (hubby & MIL) said quite soft & fluffy with crispy top due to d toppings.

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted & cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 240ml whipping cream
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cups white sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Topping (mix together):

• 1 tbsp white sugar
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

1. In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, & vanilla extract.
2. In another large bowl shift together flour, sugar, baking powder, & salt.
3. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Then fold wet ingredients into dry with a rubber spatula, along with the melted butter.
5. Stir only until ingredients r combined. Do Not over mix or muffin will turn out tough.
6. Fill pre-line muffin cups with batter & sprinkle a little topping on each muffin.
7. Place in pre-heated oven & bake @ 180C for abt 15-18mins.
8. Move to a wire rack & let cool for abt 5 mins be4 removing from muffin cups.
