My baking oven



This is my good old oven( Butterfly Band )which I use to bake all my bread and cakes in Miri. This oven is so old that the temperature gauge is no longer working and only I know how to adjust the fire to get the correct temperature. I am sure many people have not seen such an oven less know how to use it.
I remember when I first got married, we even use a empty Roti tin (Big cream cracker tin) , turn it upside down and bake my first beehive cake! We were quite poor then and it does not matter whether the beehive cake got burn or not..cos beehive cakes were black. LOL.
I am still looking for one small oven like the ones made in Indonesia for making kek lapis..have to ask my friend where to buy...

      Skudai in Johor? Yes you can bake cakes or cookies with this oven..only thing you have to experiment with the temperature...It is very economical ..Just place the oven over a gas stove and you are done..
      I made kueh mangkit and many cakes and bread using this oven.This oven is very popular in the Kampong where is no electricity.

Butter Milk Buns- 奶油包

Butter Milk Buns are very popular in Malaysia and Brunei. When I tried to look for it in Perth, I could find any. I guessed this must be another Malaysian creation. This is my 2nd attempt with the fillings. The first filling recipes which I copied from a US website was totally useless and a failure. This time I used the recipe from a Brunei friend. It was a success. The Bun dough recipe was from Kuala Terengganu, a specialty over there. The Bun was very soft even after it cooled down. The butter milk was very nice as well. Two of the fillings in my buns burst during baking but that was because I did not cover up the dough well and it leaked out. Rest of the Buns were perfect. *makes 11pcs of medium size Buns Gelatinised dough 50g bread flour 35ml hot boiling water 1. Place Bread flour in a mixing bowl. 2. .Add hot boiling water and mix with wooden spoon to form a rough dough.. 3. Cover bowl with cling film and leave dough to cool in the fridge f
