Maple Yogurt#FoodieExtravaganza

Maple Yogurt is so easy and delicious!  When we buy  the sweetened commercial yogurt it has so of much sugar and also preservatives.  Add maple syrup  in your yogurt and you have   delicious homemade preservative free version! After making this yogurt, trust me, , you will never want to buy commercial yogurt again! 

I  have added orange zest just for garnishing.  

Ingredients 

1 Cup Full Fat Milk
1 Tablespoon Plain Yogurt
1 Tablespoon Heaped Maple syrup
½ Teaspoon Orange Zest - optional
Method

Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until your little finger feels warm (see my notes).  Switch off the flame and let cool a little. Whisk in the yogurt and maple syrup, till combined thoroughly.

Pour this  into serving bowls and keep it to set at room temperature in a warm place. 

When it sets, add the orange zest and keep it to chill in the refrigerator. 

Enjoy chilled  thick maple yogurt with your  meal or as breakfast dish or  in a sandwich.  Super delicious, my hubby loved it. 

My Notes

I pour  the milk  in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for a minute. Then whisk in yogurt and maple syrup well.  Keep it in the microwave to set. 

Any remaining maple yogurt can be kept refrigerated up to 2 -  3 days, just add a tablespoon of fresh milk on top (do not stir it) and it will stay fresh and sweet, for week even.

Swirl Biscoff Bundt#BundtBakers

This Swirl Biscoff Bundt is showstopper for any occasion. It's moist, soft bundt, the swirls look so beautiful and it springs back to the touch. This bundt cake can be made one day in advance. Let cool completely and store at room temperature overnight. Add the glaze an hour before serving. Un mould the cake when it is hot or else the Lotus spread gets stuck to the pan sides. 

My bunt did crack while un moulding since I removed it when cooled completely.  Camouflaged it with the glaze so not very noticeable. Made this cake for our wedding anniversary. 

Ingredients 
For the Cake275 Grams All Purpose Flour
3/4 Teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
140 Grams Butter
175 Grams Caster Sugar
1/2 Tablespoons Vanilla essence
3 Eggs
200 Ml Buttermilk
1/2 Cup Heaped Biscoff /Lotus Spread
For the Glaze
1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter - melted
A Pinch of Salt
½ Teaspoon Vanilla essence
½ Cup Heaped Icing Sugar - sifted
1½ Tablespoons Milk

Method
For the cake
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Butter and flour a  bundt pan.
Sieve together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

Beat butter and sugar in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add eggs one at a time as you continue to beat. Add in vanilla and mix until incorporated. On low speed, add in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with buttermilk, just until incorporated.

Spoon half of the batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth with a spatula. 

Top batter with 1/2 cup Lotus spread, dropping by spoonfuls over the batter. 

Use a toothpick to very gently swirl the spread into the batter.

Spoon remaining batter evenly over the spread and carefully smoothen it with a spatula. Tap pan  again to reduce air bubbles.

Bake for 55 minutes, until cake is golden, springs back to the touch, and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes; carefully invert onto rack and cool completely.
For the Glaze

Whisk together melted butter, salt, vanilla, icing sugar, and milk in a small bowl. 

Drizzle glaze over cooled cake and let set before serving. 

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

This is soft and moist cake.. Enjoy!!

Mini Pecan Pie#Fantasticalfood

This classic Mini Pecan Pie has all the flavors you love in a pecan pie. 

This pie crust is different from what I usually make, its buttery shortbread crust that tastes really good!

Though this is a decadent mini pecan pie it's too sweet and rich to eat it alone. It contains too many calories but all flavors you will love in a pecan pie. 

I baked this mini pecan pie 5-inch deep baking dish with a depth of 1.1/2 inch. For this pie you require a deep dish, since the filling may tend to spill while baking. 

When it just out of the oven it is puffed up but like a souffle, it deflates as it cools.
Ingredients
For the Shortbread Crust 

50 Grams Butter
80 Grams All Purpose Flour
1½ Tablespoons Corn Flour 
1½ Tablespoons Caster Sugar 
A Pinch of Salt
For the Filling 

¼ Cup Light Corn syrup
1 Egg 

¼ Cup Sugar
A Pinch Salt

1 Teaspoon Molasses ** see notes
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter - softened
½  Teaspoon Vanilla essence
1/3 Cup Heaped Pecans

Method

For the Shortbread Crust 

In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 

Add flour, cornstarch and salt,  mix until combined.  Press dough onto bottom of lightly greased 5-inch deep baking dish and refrigerator it for at least 15 to 20 minutes.

In the meantime preheat oven to 170°C. Bake 12-15 minutes or until light golden. Then let it cool completely. I baked this crust a day before, next day baked it with the filling.

For the Filling 

Mix corn syrup, egg, sugar, salt, butter and vanilla in a bowl using a spoon.   Stir in the pecans.  Pour filling  in the cooled shortbread crust. 

Bake on center rack of oven for 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and let pie cool on wire rack for a 3 hours.

Enjoy this as a wonderful dessert, its sweet, has a crunch because of the pecan and mostly of all a buttery crust.

yum yum... 

My Notes
Since  I,did not have dark corn syrup add the molasses. If you use dark corn syrup then do not add molasses.
