Almond Puffs

Puff pastry not only can be used for pies or tart but it also can be used for savory dishes and as type of cookies too.You can always used top or filled them with sugar,almonds,cheddar,caramel or jam.

I used my own puff pastry which I made several days ahead and store in the freeze before I use it.If you don't have the time to make your own homemade puff pastry,you can buy it in the supermarket but sure enough the one I made can achieve similar crispiness as well.In this recipe all you need is 1 rectangular section of puff pastry,some good quality Almond Flakes and some coarse sugar for topping.

As you can see the Almond Flakes that I used is not perfectly sliced where you can tell this is not a good quality one.Although the appearance doesn't look quite presentable but it's still taste good.If you are using your own made puff pastry then it's only takes 10-15 minutes to bake.Frozen puff pastry from supermarket takes a bit longer about 20-25minutes but you still need to keep an eye on it from burning because Almond Flakes can burn easily. Almond puffs can look very elegant and pretty and surprisingly easy to make too.

Soya bean curd

During my preggie time I have to buy the soya milk and soya bean curd(Tau fu fah)everyday.It is something that you can't live without it.Since then,I've always thought it'd be good to make my own soy bean curd.I have been making my own soy milk off and on for a while now.I love making soy milk.It's easy and not complicated at all.It’s actually not that difficult to make our own Soya Milk.If you drink soy milk regularly you will totally save money, even if you buy a soymilk makers.I have been wanting to make my own soya bean curd since the day I got my soya milk.

This is what how I make the soya bean curd.First wash the soya beans very well.Then soak it in a bowl of water for over night.The next day,measure the soya beans and the amount of water follow your own recipe.Set aside,and then put it in a blender with water.Blend it until all beans crushed very fine. Filter it to separate the crushed beans and the milk.Then,pour the soya milk in a big pot and heat it on the stove.Keep on stirring the soya milk till boiled.Remove it from the heat.It is now ready to drink milk.If you want to make the soya bean curd,you'll need to add gypsum and corn starch.I use about 1 tsp and 3 tbsp cornstarch in my recipe.Mix it with a 1/2 cup water and dissolve it.Then pour the cook soy mixture and the edible gypsum into another pot simultaneously while the mixture is still hot.Leave it alone to cool and enjoy.
