Assalamualaikum,

Insya Allah I will try to update this blog of mine as often as possible. A random topic for today, baking. Somehow, I am so motivated to learn how to bake. Believe or not, everytime whenever I enter into a book store, of course first thing first is to accompany the bf and I will then proceed to the recipes session and browse through every recipe books that caught my attention. :)) I love to browse through those recipe books especially those which are very colourful and easy to understand. They seemed to motivate me even more. Looking for recipes through online is the other alternative way. Okay, while I was typing this, I somehow felt that I am like my mum (perasan betul aku ni!but my mum is one of the best baker that I adores btw! :)) but the only difference is that, I have yet to start on the practical.hahaha, Words speak louder than Actions!hahaha :p Okay, maybe I did baked before, but that was like once in a lifetime! Hahaha I have tried baking blueberry cheesecake (with the help of mum of course) and my all time favourite Kek Batik Marie. For a new bird like me, maybe by baking those two cakes will be a great idea to begin with (: Basically Kek Batik Marie doesn’t even need to bake in the oven. It’s like more to cooking on the stove! Hahaha :p and then store in the fridge to harden and cool it down :D

(Trust me the appearance doesn't matter, What matter the most is the taste :D )

Ingredients

180 gm butter
3 eggs
1 cup of milo
1 cup of warm water
1/2 cup of condensed milk
300 gm Marie Biscuits, broken into rough quarters
1) Mix the milo to the warm water.
2) Heat up the stove. In a deep saucepan, melt the butter.
2) Once the butter melts, slowly add the condensed milk and eggs to the mixture.
3) Place the saucepan over moderate heat and cook, stirring all the time with a whisk or a spoon, until you feel the bottom starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
4) Turn heat down to low, and continue to cook, stirring without stopping, for about another 20-25 minutes until a thick custard forms. (refer to recipe notes)
5) Turn off the heat, and stir in the quartered biscuits. Mix until all the biscuits are coated with the custard.
6) Transfer mixture to the prepared tin.
7) Cover with aluminium foil and refrigerate overnight.
Insya Allah, if I come upon a simple recipe, will surely post it when have the time! :))
