Almond Crisps

Today I'm going to share with you one of my most favorite recipe, Almond Crisps . Many have asked me how did I make it so crisp that they split apart if not held carefully. The trick is simple - no more than two almond flakes should overlap each other & PATIENCE ; Always bake at low heat. The batter can be baked at temperature as low as 125 C. The lower temperature helps to yield a nice golden crisp instead of burning it since it is so paper thin. But of course, at such a tortoise speed, you may find yourself dozing off. Therefore, its not a bad idea to help yourself with a glass of wine & turn on your favorite music while baking. Engaged your kids, nieces & nephews in this project. They will LOVE it. Trust me, the end result is unbelievably rewarding. Here we go... Ingredients: 4 egg white 40g melted butter or vegetable oil 40g plain flour 90g fine sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1/8 tsp vanilla essence (optional) 1/4 tsp lemon zest (optional) 250g almond flakes Metho

Traditional Fruit Cake

Why am I baking fruit cake in the middle of summer? Simply because… hubby can’t wait till December to have his Christmas cake. The combination of nuts and candied dried fruits with barely enough cake batter to hold it all together, and the subtle brandy flavour… sets it apart from the rest. It is so good that it makes the waiting for it to mature before slicing it a pure torture. Unlike other cakes, Best Fruit Cakes have to be repeatedly “fed” or moistened over time, with alcohol such as brandy, rum, sherry or Madeira. This is the key behind the subtle alcohol flavour and moist texture. For teetotaller, don’t worry, substitute alcohol with orange juice. The result is just as beautiful (except it must be eaten asap)
