Did you know that you can make brownie brittle or brownie crisps or brownie cookies with brownies premix?

I got a box of Dr. Oetker Nona Brownies Original Premix. Instead of making one big brownie, I split the premix in half. I made brownies and brownie brittle with it. To make brownies, you just follow the instructions on the box, half the ingredients needed and you’re good to go.

The video below is about making basic brownies with the premix. You can use any brand that you like.

Next, I made brownie brittle with it. The whole process was a bit messy and didn’t go as planned. Luckily, it still turned out well. It is not difficult at all. You might want to make the batter a bit more watery for easy spreading. Don’t be afraid to add some more water. Just start with 10ml first and gauge the runniness of the batter. If cutting is needed after baking, make sure that you do it fast while it’s still warm. Otherwise, it will be quite a challenge to cut it into pieces.

Have fun trying.

Check out another brownies premix from Dr. Oetker Nona Brownies that I bought.

So far, all the brownies premix from this brand that I bought is foolproof enough. No failure at all.

I have also tried its chocolate cake premix. Here’s the link, Tried & Tested Dr. Oetker Nona Moist Cake Chocolate Mix.

How do you eat your canned sardines in tomato sauce? This is usually how we eat ours. There is no need to cook at all. Check out the video below.

The quantity of lime, chili, and red onion is up to you. Don’t forget to add some salt to the chopped or sliced red onion to elevate the flavour. By the way, you can also caramelize the red onion if you want. If you do so, then cooking will be needed. I’m just too lazy to do that.

Very easy. isn’t eat? No cooking is needed.

This kuih is known by many names namely kuih manggis, kuih cara, kuih bahulu, and kuih apam balik. However, I’m not sure of the actual name. I tried to ask many people and they gave me all the different names too. So… What is the actual name? This version can only be found in Sarawak. It is quite different from those in West Malaysia. This is definitely no stranger to Sarawakians.

I’m going to share with you how to make this. I got the recipe online and modified it a bit based on what I have at home. Here’s the video. I make this for the very first time. Apparently, it’s not too difficult to do and the ingredients are quite easy to get.

Ingredients:

(A) 170ml pandan juice + 2 to 3 tbsp coconut cream powder
(B) 45g icing sugar + pinch of salt + 1 egg
(C) 135g plain flour + 2 tsp baking powder (sift)
Oil to grease the mould

Do note that, if you feel that the batter is still too thick and not easy to pour, feel free to add some more water. Add bit by bit to ensure it’s not too watery.

The steps are in the video. All you need to do is mix all the ingredients well, then cook them in the mould. As simple as that.

My conclusion in getting the perfect kue is to ensure the mould is well-heated with evenly distributed heat. Make sure you use medium-low heat throughout, and a well-greased mould. Mine was unevenly coloured due to uneven heat distribution but it’s cooked through and the texture is exactly how it should be.

The actual kuih should look like the photo below. The recipe is for a bigger batch and in Malay.
