Ondeh Ondeh Swiss Roll Cake

So, it was one of those days where you are so in the mood of baking. I am sure we all have that moment right? And of course, we also know that once the mood kick in, nothing can stop us. Surf online and you can find endless recipes on doing swiss rolls with many variants.  I do not like to do "difficult task" and I decided to tweak several recipes here and there and this is my end result. Cant complain and I am pretty pleased with it.  

My simple recipe is such:

*3 large eggs

*75gm sugar

whisked the items marked * egg first until fluffy, then add the sugar bit by bit

100gm plain flour

50gm  coconut milk

1 tablespoon cornflour

1 tablespoon oil(canola will do)

1/4 teaspoon pandan paste 

(or pandan juice, if you use pandan juice mix it with the 50gm coconut milk )

Add all the second ingredients to the whisked items slowly and mix well.

Preheat the oven to 175deg and place parchment paper on the tray. Brush a little oil and pour the batter. Bang bang the tray so that no bubbles are trap. Then pop in the oven for a good 20-30 minutes. Depending on your oven ok?  Once ready, let it cool and I don't roll mine like every recipe said and it still do not crack (thank goodness!). I am guessing the oil in it that do the magic. But what do I know?

Once cool, spread the filling and sprinkle the coconut flakes on it and roll slowly like a lady... And then, Slice it if you cannot wait! I cling wrap my master piece because I brought it to my language class and the 1st thing my teacher said was, It is green.... Oh well...Not everyone knows what is Pandan leaves and the magic...

Filling:

I like mine to be butter cream so here goes

150gm softened butter

milked or cream just to mix it with butter so that it is creamy

whisk both together till you reach the right consistency

Some toasted coconut flakes to sprinkle on the filling

Please excuse me for not posting the step by step picture of baking this piece. I am trying to rewrite my blog because the old blog was "uneditable" because ..I honestly do not know why!!!

going Beefy..

Beef Jerky or Bakwa or Dendeng what ever you call it, as you deem fit.

Basically, its mince meat (you can use turkey or chicken or beef, it's really your choice) marinated with soya sauce, paprika, lemon juice, bit of mince garlic (because we like it!) and pince of salt, in short, season to taste! let the mix rest for 30mins minimum and when you cant wait(like me!) you can work on it after 15 mins too! press the meat as thinly as you can with whatever energy you have on the baking tray. Then brush the top of it with honey which is mix with bits of lemon juice for the browning effect. pop in the oven, 180 deg for 30 mins, not forgetting to flip the sides and brush it with honey juice again. 

It is ready once the meat looks crisps and brown, let it cool and cut it square and serve!!

Dont worry when you see halve thru the baking/grilling the meat sort of shrink, its the cooking process...and I promise you will not have any left overs, because it is THAT GOOD!!
