Yes I know this looks very familiar..if you were chinese =) Kinda looks like those pan fried 'paos' no? Take a closer look and it's actually what we all have eaten before..if you ever had McDonald's Breakfast..still don't know what it is? It's actually English Muffins! The 'bun' layer in the breakfast special =) And in fact the British do eat them from breakfast =) I think you can make it both savory or sweet depending what you feel like on that day! But anyway, I bet you are wondering why it's called english muffin but when in fact it's actually a bread? Well to tell you the truth I have no idea but I can tell you that it's one tasty muffin! Imagine bacon or ham with a slice or lettuce and tomato, mayonnaise and poached egg with benedict's sauce..sounds good for breakfast no? It takes quite some time to make them..first pan fried and then baked again to fully cook it.
Next up! You guessed it =) donuts! the all time favourite..with the explosion of Big Apple and J.Co donuts and also the all so famous Krispy Kreme, made all Malaysians going crazy over them for a period of time. It's actually a yeast based product..I bet many didn't know..I imagined it as 'fried bread' ..swimming happily in a hot pot of oil =) then sugar coated and when eaten, melts in your mouth kinda feeling =)
Apparently this dough is pretty versatile too! the french have names for every type but sadly I only can remember half of what chef told us..sorry chef =)..the one with the hole is donuts in general..sugar coated or cinnamon sugar if you are fan of cinnamon..haha inside joke..megan =)..
The ones without the holes are Berliners if I'm not mistaken..right chef? And we had a great time playing with the decoration! isn't the smiley face one cute? =) yummy shiny chocolate for the top and any filling you like for the center!
And these mini round ones..Churrox? or something like that..I will check it!!! but it's the same basic idea =) and let me tell you they are addictive..by the time you know it, it's nearly half gone! so hide it from anyone you know that's gonna finish them all! hehe
We also tried out a new bread..Cocoa bread..turned out pretty good..the taste and out look of it..you can taste a little acidity from the cocoa..recommended for cocoa lovers =)..More bread to come! believe me! =)
