Coconut Cream Muffins with Fruit Pulp

Muffins with coconut cream


Muffins after such a long gap. I have been baking bread for quite a continuous stretch of several weeks - mainly for breakfast. But bread also does double duty for other meals as sandwiches too.

So, this muffin came about because of leftover coconut cream from making kuih bingka.

Ingredients
Wet:
100ml of coconut cream (added about 3 tbsp of water later as the muffin mix was a little dry)

1 egg, beaten
4 tbsp of vegetable oil
(sugar to taste .. start with 2 tbsp, I omitted sugar as I wanted a bread-like muffin)
fruit pulp from juicing 1 apple, 1 carrot, 1 inch of ginger (microwaved for 2mins)

Dry:
a pinch of salt
1 tsp of baking powder
1.5 cups of all purpose flour

1) Mix the wet ingredients together. Hold the water until you are doing the muffin mix.
2) Mix the dry ingredients.
3) Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Do not overmix the muffin dough as the texture will be dense after baking.
4) Once the liquid has been incorporated into the flour, scoop the dough into the muffin tray.
5) Bake at 180C for about 20mins or until a skewer comes out clean.

Note: If a higher rise or fluffier texture is preferred, you can use 1.5 tsp of baking powder and/or add another egg. The dough mixture will be wetter with another egg, so the additional water may not be needed.

Separated the wet and dry mix - so as not to overmix the muffin dough.

Muffin mix.

Divided into 2 trays.

My oven can just fit the 2 trays. Maybe should have proppe up the slanted tray.

Didn't rise a lot - most likely because of the heavy fruit pulp.


Texture is light enough, not dense.

Farfalle

Made some farfalle - I was intrigued by the prettiness of the shape. It's hard work though, all for the sake of the jagged edges. I cleaned out my old craft scissors to do the cutting. Now I realised that the commercial pasta only has jagged edges on the ends of the 'bows'. Not the other side! Well, I may not make this again. The middle of the bow is thick, as expected. So, there's more 'bite' there! But the lemon sauce with cheese, spring onions, cherry tomatoes and lemon zest - that was really refreshing. Uneven sizes and thickness but they still look pretty. Simple lemon, olive oil sauce with some cheese.

The old writers

I first noticed these words in a novel. Only the first three lines as the writer was describing a fear and restlessness but not a seeking of the divine. I looked for them later and there they were, in the Service Book in church. Part of the Evening Prayer, it may seem out of sorts for us city dwellers with lights everywhere, all the time. But, the night is still there, darkness still in us. These writers of old, they write so well. Or maybe they just knew their God better. in your mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night

Okinawan Spinach

A friend gave me a cutting of Okinawan Spinach. Yay, new vegetable to try planting. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynura_bicolor Gynura bicolor, hongfeng cai 紅鳳菜, okinawan spinach or edible gynura, is a member of the chrysanthemum family (Asteraceae). It is native to China, Thailand, and Myanmar but grown in many other places as a vegetable and as a medicinal herb. Since most of the leaves needed to be removed for the rooting, I made a salad. This was a 'Global' Salad with Okinawan Spinach, Mexican Asparagus, Malaysian cucumber and cherry tomatoes, Argentinian blue berries and NZ salad dressing! In future, if I grow this vegetable successfully, I will stir fry it with sesame oil and ginger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynura_bicolor   According to Chinese food grouping, Gynura bicolor is a 'cool' food, so the leaves are stir-fried with sesame oil and ginger (both 'hotter' foods) to achieve a balance.
