Siew Bao ( Baked BBQ Pork)

I use olive oil to make these buns, added one tablespoon of flour to the oil dough and water dough to get to the dough consistency I look for. Moist pastry, good flavour.

Curry Chicken Puff ( Quick version)

Easy afternoon snacks...

Caramel Pecan Pie

Happy New Year to everyone! I have been writing about my journey of baking here since 2014, 9th of July. It has been a wonderful year, I have learned so much and am still learning more and more each day. Starting from yesterday, "Simple Baking" no longer exists but it is now "Pat's Kitchen Journal". I am looking forward to another great year of learning.

Black- and- Blue Berry Pie

This is not really sweet at all, go with cream or ice cream would be perfect.  My kids had it with Bailey ice-cream and it tasted really good!

Dan Lepard's Bay Custart Tart ( Dan Lepard)

Very delicious tart, infused with bay leaves. The recipe uses a deep muffin tray which delivers eight tarts. Please refer to original link for instructions.
For mine, I made it into four tarts on four pie dish of  3.5cm deep, 7.5cm round (base) pie tins. With a litte extra crust I made two mini jam tarts.

Creamy Chicken and Leek Pie

Chicken paired with Leeks is always the best,  loved the gravy and simply delicious!

Cottage Pie

                                     
A very satisfying, yummy homemade pie, enough to serve for a family of six.  Just make a bowl of salad to go with it.

Chicken, Mushroom and Gnocchi Pie

Perfect for a family of four, one of our weekend easy dinners.

Country Chicken and Vegetable Pie

See, my son couldn't wait to start his meal, he was reluctant for me to snap a photo :) Yes, we had a delicious, satisfying light dinner.  All in one meal, this is what I like, especially for my lazy weekends..

Avocado Prawn Savoury Pie

This is my second homemade pie after the Curry Chicken Pie.  Another wonderful experience, I found myself completing the pie much faster than before.  Here, I needed to blind bake the crust twice to 80% cooked before filling the ingredients.
It is such a delicious pie, glad that I bought this book, I can learn even more pie recipes here.

Curry Chicken Pie

What a wonderful experience for me, I finally made my very first homemade pie! I shall move on to more pastries with a sense of confidence from now :)

Penang Tau Sar Piah

Great experience, it all took me 2 long sessions to complete the task ( nearly 70 pieces), but it was all worth it.

Coconut and passionfruit custard pie

      Prepared this for my students' gathering last weekend.  Very easy to make,  enough to serve 8.
     

Spiced apple parcels

Whenever we go to Macdonalds, my daughter would also order an apple pie to go with her BigMac meal.  She just love it so much.  In fact, while eating this homemade one, she was already requesting another version of Apple pie already.:)

Homemade beef sausage roll

             Homemade sausage rolls are very healthy, simple to make and you just love it.  It tasted nothing like the store bought ones.  Very homemade.  It is definitely a keeper for my family.

Cantonese egg tart

My first two batches of egg tarts were a total failure until my classmate sent me this recipe, she told me it is the simplest and one of her favourite recipes.  And that I will surely succeed in only one attempt.  I was really excited and gave it a go right away.  It sure was,  thanks to Seok Ting!
