Honey biscuits

Hey everyone!! Remember that recipe I made for an lemon and orange lemonade..the first recipe I posted. That picture I posted where it had a plate with biscuits in the middle of the two glasses..they were honey biscuits!I am finally deciding to post a recipe of those biscuits after so very long!I absolutely love these...especially when you're having it with a hot cup of cocoa or tea! It never fails to put a smile on my face!

The ingredients you need are:
-100g of butter
-1/3 cup of honey
-1/4 tsp of bicarb soda
-1 cup plain flour

Method:
1. Preheat the oven(fan forced) to 180 degree celsius.
2. Add the butter and honey in a bowl and melt until just dissolved.
3. Then add flour and bicarb soda into the liquid mixture but be sure that it is just lukewarm.
4. Stir well till batter is all smooth.
5. Line your baking trays with baking paper. Using teaspoons,scoop one teaspoon and place it on the baking tray. Each scoop fairly apart from each other,depending in the amount of mixture you use as it will melt!
6. Bake it in the oven for 5-10 minutes or till it is tanned and not too dark!
7. Allow it to cool on the tray for a few minutes as it will still be extremely soft from the oven.
8. Transfer onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Then enjoy!! It's a great biscuit to do with little kids around because its so simple.

All my love, Ade

hey guys, just thought that i have not posted anything on this blog or my personal one for awhile now!!
happy new year!!(i know its a lil late) hope everything goes well for all of you!

my siblings from malaysia came to australia to spend Christmas and New Years and eveytime i'm on the phone with my sister, she has always asked me what i made this weekend cause i usually bake something during the weekend.. when i said that i had made panna cotta..she screamed and i knew that she had wanted to panna cotta when she's over here..
this is the recipe that i had used to make my panna cotta!
 Ingredients for the panna cotta:

2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of Thickened Cream
2 teaspoons gelatine powder
3 tablespoons hot water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoons of Vanilla Essence or 1/2 vanilla bean

Ingredients for Balsamic Strawberries:

2 cups strawberries – clean and sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 and 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Method:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, thickened cream, sugar and vanilla essence. Cook it over a low- medium heat. Just before it starts to boil, remove the saucepan from the heat.
2. In a small bowl, add the hot water and the gelatine. Stir and add into the mix until gelatine is dissolved.
3. Pour mix into 4 ramekins or glasses and refrigerate until completely set!
4. Combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar and sugar into a bowl and mix it well. then allow it to macerate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
5. If using ramekins and it is time to serve, run a small knife around each of the ramekins, quickly dip the bottom of each ramekin in a bowl of hot water. then invert the ramekin onto a dessert plate or any plate and surround it with strawberries. but if you are using glasses, just top it up with strawberries and serve.

there you go!! enjoy your panna cotta!!
