PEANUT COOKIES

During festive occasions my mum used to bake this peanut cookies without fail.

It is usually made with corn/canola  oil but now I tried using butter. They were fantastic nice and crunchy but not too sweet. I can't believe how easy they are to make.

To all my Muslim friends, wishing you a Happy Eid, may you be blessed with happiness and success always!

DATE TART

These little Date Tart  are one of the seasonal favorites which make their  annual appearance on festive occasions such as Hari Raya Puasa (Eid ul-Fitr)  and  Chinese New Year.

Commonly stuffed with grated pineapple but I had made slight change by filling them with pitted dates. You can also use raisin if you want.  I'm very pleased with the result also they were well liked  by my family.

The trickiest part is  getting the perfect pastry, if too stiff, it tends to crumble. Don't add too much water or the pastry will be hard, add in a tablespoon at a time.

EGGLESS SEMOLINA BANANA CAKE

A  quick and easy cake made with semolina or cream of wheat. This Eggless Semolina Banana Cake could be enjoyed  anytime of the year.  This is a different version of semolina cake that was low in  fat and egg free.

In case you're allergic to dairy, feel free to substitute milk with non dairy milk like almond milk, soy milk or rice milk.  Although it wasn't super soft as a normal cake but it was moist due to the addition of mashed banana.  The Eggless Semolina Banana Cake is now becomes our favorite,   I hope others find it delicious too!

EGGLESS CUSTARD BUNS

My son and I really love  Eggless Custard  Buns.   These buns are rolled out just like you'd make dinner roll but slightly different style and filled with scrumptious egg free custard. 

If custard powder isn't available, you can substitute with cornflour and adding vanilla extract plus one or two drops of  yellow food coloring.

These delightful  Eggless Custard Buns will make your guests feel extra special but also it was economical to bake your own with  endless variations.
