These matcha yoghurt chiffon cupcakes are put together with leftover egg whites from making some hollandaise sauce; the ever available low fat plain yoghurt in the fridge, plus a new can of matcha green tea powder. After having tried the Plaster Blaster prata (prata served with ham, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce) at the Springleaf prata place, my elder son has been pestering me to try our hands at making our own hollandaise sauce. He even picked up this cookbook 'Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking by Michael Ruhlman' which I borrowed from the library to learn how to prepare the sauce. This is probably the very first cookbook he has read. I suspect the title must have caught his eyes when I left the book on the coffee table. You see, he likes or rather love mathematics, and of course he enjoys good food...it doesn't have to be an expensive gourmet dish as long as it tastes good or suits his delicate palate. I won't elaborate on our hollandaise sauce experiment here but he did manage to pull together his own version of plaster blaster prata with frozen pre-made prata, his newly acquired skill on poaching eggs with cling wraps, and the resulting not too bad (but still lacking something?) hollandaise sauce. Okay, back to the green tea part... the matcha powder which my baking friend bought from Kyoto must be of very good quality. It is very fragrant as it gives off a nice sweet aroma when I left it on the counter before sieving with the flour. The cupcakes came out of the oven in a nice shade of green too. The cupcakes were tender and moist with a delightful matcha flavour and just a hint of tang from the yoghurt. The only problem with these cute cuppies is that it takes a lot of self restraint to refrain from reaching out for more ;) Matcha Yoghurt Chiffon Cupcakes Ingredients: (makes 12 cupcakes) 3 egg yolks (use large eggs) 25g caster sugar 40ml vegetable oil (I used extra light olive oil) 80g plain yoghurt (I used low fat yoghurt) 80g cake flour 10g matcha green tea powder 4 egg whites (use large eggs) 55g caster sugar Method: Sieve together matcha green tea powder and flour, set aside. Place egg yolks in a mixing bowl. With a manual balloon whisk, whisk the yolks a little. Add in sugar and whisk to combine. Add in vegetable oil gradually, whisk to combine. Add in yoghurt. Whisk to combine. Sieve over the matcha and flour mixture. Whisk till the flour is fully incorporated. Do not over mix. The batter will be very thick. Set aside. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat egg whites with a handheld electric mixer on low speed until mixture becomes frothy and foamy. Add half of the sugar amount and turn to high speed and beat the mixture. Continue to add in the remaining sugar and beat until the egg whites reaches the soft peak stage.The soft peak stage is reached when the peaks of the whites curl over and droop slightly. The egg whites should appear smooth and glossy. (Do not over beat the whites still stiff, it is better to beat the whites still soft peaks for easy folding with the yolk batter.) Add the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk batter in 3 separate additions, each time folding gently with a spatula until just blended (I prefer to use a balloon whisk to do the folding). The yolk batter will be very thick, fold gently without deflating the beaten egg whites. The finished batter should be thick and voluminous, not thin and runny. Spoon batter into paper muffin cups till 90% full. Arrange filled muffin cups on a baking tray. Tap the tray lightly on a table top to get rid of any trapped air bubbles in the batter. Bake in pre-heated oven at 170 degC for 15~20 mins, till the top is slightly browned or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove tray from oven and immediately bang the tray together with the cupcakes on the table top 2 to 3 times. This helps to prevent the cupcakes from shrinking. Let cool completely on wire rack.

This homemade tomato sauce recipe has simple ingredients that make big flavor! Here's how to make this Italian staple.
I have a confession to make. I frequently fall down on the job of keeping the kitchen stocked with freshly baked bread. I don't usually put bread on the grocery list because if we buy bread, then why would I bake more? But because I haven't gotten into a consistent baking routine, there are often days without any bread at all. If I were into making New Year's resolutions, keeping up with the bread baking would be on the list. And this buttermilk bread recipe might bring me a step closer to achieving my goal. It's easy. I can mix it up in the time it takes for my morning cup of coffee to brew. Everybody likes it--it's a soft crusted white bread, ideal for toast and sandwiches--so we eat it up before it goes stale. I have finally tweaked the recipe so that it works well for me. I'm learning that there's a getting-to-know-you period with every bread recipe. You need to meet several times and figure out a comfortable working relationship. With the buttermilk bread, I had to reduce the salt a little, use a little less flour, and get to know how much dough fits in my loaf pans. This is a recipe that's on its way to the easy predictability of an old friend. Mixing in the flour Buttermilk Bread adapted from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day Makes 2 large loaves 2 cups lukewarm water 1 cup buttermilk 1 1/2 Tbsp. active dry yeast 1 Tbsp. Kosher salt 1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar 6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp. melted butter Dusting risen dough with flour in preparation for shaping Mix the water, buttermilk, yeast, salt and sugar in a 5-quart bowl or lidded food storage container. Add the flour and stir until all the flour is incorporated. (I use a large silicone spatula, but a wooden spoon works fine, too.) Cover the bowl or container (not airtight) and let rest at room temperature for about 2 hours. At this point, you can use the dough immediately or keep it covered (still not airtight) in the refrigerator to use over the next 7 days. Sprinkle the dough with a little flour and scoop out half. Dust the piece of dough with a little more flour and quickly and gently shape it into a ball. Stretch the ball into an oval and place in a greased 9x4x3 non-stick loaf pan. The pan should be a little more than half full. Ready for the oven Let the dough rest for 40 minutes (or 1 hour and 40 minutes for refrigerated dough). Twenty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Dust the loaf with flour, and slash the top with the tip of a sharp knife. Brush the top with melted butter. Bake for about 45 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Keeps well in a sealed plastic bag for about 3 days.
