Shiitake Mushroom & Bacon with Macaroni [ 自製篇 ]

Hi guys, here to share my simple recipe about how to cook macaroni with shiitake mushroom and bacon with you guys! You can get all the ingredients in supermarket such as Cold Storage.
My sibling love this recipe and they never get enough eating this. Thanks to them for being so supportive every time when I'm try to cook for them!

Next time, I shall try to cook the carbonara sauce by myself rather than using the ready made Prego sauce. I use to cook basil pesto previously and it taste so good! ha ha!

Ingredients prepare list as below:

- 1 cups of Drinking Water
- 2 tablespoon of Butter
- 1 tablespoon of All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tablespoon of Salt
- 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper
- 3 slice of Cheese

All of this ingredients can get from Cold Storage Gurney Plaza. You can get the smoked streaky bacon at the non-halal sessions, it cost around RM12.

Wash and slice the mushroom into pieces and chopped a few into tiny crush pieces.

Same to the bacon, slice into small piece and you may add in some black pepper with it.

Put a side and ready to use after finish cutting down this two ingredients.

1. Melt the 2 tablespoon of butter in the pans, add in the bacon to cook untill crisp.

2. Add in mushroom slice saute until golden.

3. Use another pot add in a tin of prego together with a cup of drinking water.

4. Add in the chopped mushroom crush pieces and 3 slice of cheese.

My First Baking Class with Fun @ D Baking Point

Wahoo.. I had a fabulous Sunday with both of my sweetie last few weeks. I'm so excited to have my first fully hand on experience in baking cookies. The baking class we attended are located at Prima Tanjung. Various baking classes available there such as chiffon cake, swiss rolls, cupcakes, healthy breads, lava cakes, scones, tarts, cookies, pie and so on.

Let' me share our recipes with you guys as below:

Butter / Chocolate Cookies
-125 GMs Margerine / Butter
-1/4 tsp Salt (If the butter you use already is salted butter, then maybe you can skip this.)
-90 GMs Icing Sugar
-1 egg yolk
-1/4 tsp vanilla essence
-200 GMs Plain Flour
[For Chocolate Cookies, REPLACE 15 GM of flour with cocoa powder, Add 1 tsp of coffee essence]

1. Put in butter/salt/icing sugar and blend it well for 5 minutes until it show nearly white. 1.
2. Add in egg yolk and vanilla essence mix it well.
3. Stir in the flour
4. Mix it gently.
5. Put in the chill become dough.

Remarks: After mixing in the flour, the dough must be piped out as soon as possible. Leaving it to stand for a long time will make the dough dry and piping will be difficult.

You feel free to adding in corn flakes, rice bubbles, nestum, chopped glazed fruit and many others. Leave it harden in the fridge and cut into slices and bake it.
