Rusk

Bread crust rusks made with honey. As expected, they didn’t turn out crispy in a frying pan.

Today, I used a frying pan to make bread crust rusks with honey. The result wasn't as crispy as when I use a microwave. It seems a frying pan doesn't remove moisture as effectively. Ha […]

Bread crust rusks made with honey. They burned after two consecutive minutes in the microwave.

Today, I made bread crust rusks using honey. When they were done, I put them in the microwave at 500W for 2 minutes continuously, and some of the rusks got burnt. Warming them in the microwave for about 2 minutes makes them fragrant and crispy, but continuous heating causes them to burn […]

Bread crust rusks made with honey instead of sugar. They have a moist texture.

Soy milk pancakes 2. The amount of soy milk this time is just right.

Pancake

Making pancakes. When bubbles start to appear on the surface, it’s time to flip them.

Today, I practiced flipping pancakes using a pastry ring. I set the stove to the lowest heat and cooked them slowly. When bubbles started appearing on the surface, it seemed the side touching the pan was nicely browned, and it was time to flip them. […]

Rusk

Rusks made from bread crusts. The moisture didn’t evaporate in the frying pan.

Today, I tried making rusks from bread crusts using a frying pan. The result was moister than when I use a microwave, as the moisture didn't evaporate as much. Using a microwave seems to produce a crispier and more fragrant result […]

Jelly

Coffee agar. Boiling the agar thoroughly makes the texture smoother.

Today, I found some leftover red agar-agar in the cupboard, so I decided to make coffee agar-agar again. The finished product had a smoother texture, perhaps because I boiled the agar-agar for a longer time. It seems it's better to dissolve the agar-agar thoroughly. Co […]
