Welcome to irenelaw.com

Finally got some black glutinous rice. Now, I can make black glutinous rice porridge. The lazy me decided to use the rice cooker for it. There is no soaking needed. It is as simple as wash the rice, then cook! The rice cooker does all the cooking. I just need to add pandan leaves and sugar at the last step. You can add coconut milk also but if you have people who don’t consume coconut milk, then prepare the coconut milk or cream at the side and let whoever wants it to add it to the porridge when it’s served.

How are your Raya 2023 preparations? Making any Raya cookies this year? Still thinking about what to make? I have 8 easy Raya Cookies recipes to share with you. I actually did them for CNY. However, you can also make it for the coming Raya celebrations.

1. Lemon Butter Cookies (No Egg, Less Sweet)

You can replace the lemon with orange to make Orange Butter Cookies. Feel free to use any mould or make any shape you want as long that it’s not over 4mm thick. Leave it in the freezer for at least 1 hour before baking to retain the shapes/patterns on the cookies.

2. Kuih Makmur (No peanut, no ghee, no egg, no sugar)

This is suitable for those who have peanut allergies or dislike ghee. I personally dislike the taste of ghee. Therefore, I’m using salted butter. I’ve tried various butter and margarine brands over the years. To me, Golden Churn gave the best taste. If you have a lactose intolerant issue, replace the milk powder with powdered/icing sugar or glucose.

3. Condensed Milk Semperit (Only 3 Ingredients)

For this recipe, if you do not have custard powder, just replace it with cornstarch. Also, if you have no semperit pump, just go ahead and shape it to any shape you like.

4. Cocoa Semperit (No added colouring, just cocoa powder)

This is actually the same as the condensed milk semperit above. Just add cocoa powder to the mixture and you are ready to go. You can even customize by making a matcha version or any other flavouring of your choice. There is no harm to be creative.

5. Salted Egg Semperit (Addictive, Sweet, and Salty)

Sweet and salty semperit that is very addictive. No colouring was used. Its colour is from the custard powder. The base is the same as condensed milk semperit and cocoa semperit (without the cocoa powder). Just need to add salted egg yolk powder to one of the mixtures. Either the white or the yellow one.

6. Brownie Crisps using Brownies Premix

This is so simple. Instead of making brownies, just spread the batter thinly and bake. You don’t have to worry about it going bad. Just need to store it in an airtight container. The tips and tricks can be found in the video. By the way, you can use any brand of brownies premix. All you need to do is follow the premix instructions and add 10ml to 20ml more water to it.

7. Salted Egg Cornflakes

Who doesn’t like cornflakes snacks? What’s more with salted egg flavour. So addictive. Why not replace the salted egg yolk powder with curry powder, cheese powder, chilli powder, etc?

8. Tomato Cornflakes

Something different. Tomato flavour! As simple as adding tomato sauce to it. Can even mix it with chilli sauce. Be creative! Replace it with teriyaki sauce, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, rendang/curry paste, etc.

Let me know after you’ve tried any of the recipe out.

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.
