While I took a quick shower, a cute little mouse decided to taste the new biscuits. :P

Tamago Boro (旺仔小馒头)

Ever since I chanced upon the Tamago Boro recipe in one of the FB group, I have been tempted to try it out and what's best is that there is a sugar free version! And I have just received a few formulae milk samples, how perfect!

How does it compare with the commercial tamago boro? Well, it is not exactly melt in your mouth due to the lack of icing sugar and baking powder but I still like the crunch it gives and the healthier snack option for lil sunshine. May be when she is older, I will try the original version but for now, this suits us fine!

Here is the original recipe  which shows several variation for toddlers or adults which includes icing sugar etc and pictures.

So here's my version:

Tamago Boro (Egg Biscuit)

Ingredients (makes 80-100)

1 egg

120g potato starch (sifted)

65g milk powder (sifted)

Method 

Beat the egg and add in potato starch and milk powder in 2 steps,  one at a time.

Mix the batter well until it is pliable dough.

Roll out the dough and cut into smaller pieces (approximately the size of a soybean) and roll into balls.

Bake for 15-20min at 170 degrees.

Cool and start snacking!

Cheddar & Spring Onion Stars

Lil sunshine seems to be teething again and loves to gnaw on everything in sight so while she takes her afternoon nap,  I made some cheesy bites for her tea! Only 4 ingredients needed,  how easy!

I improvised from the original recipe here.

Cheddar & Spring Onion Rock Stars! 

(Ok, I'm being corny here But they do look like they're wearing shades right?.. hahaha)

Ingredients (make 5 stars)

1/2 cup grated cheddar ( I used mild cheddar)

1/3 cup plain flour=

10g unsalted butter (cold)

1 tsp cold water 

Some spring onion (chopped)

Method 

Mix flour and butter using the rub in method till it resembles bread crumbs. You can use a food processor if you wish but I wanted it to be more fuss free. Less stuff to wash :P

Mix in the cheddar and chopped spring onions. Add in water and knead into a dough.

Form into balls or any desired shapes. Bake for 10-15 min at 160 degrees or until brown. Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 min.

Yummy cheesy bites are ready!

Nom nom nom ........

We had so much fun playing with rock stars bites and singing silly songs while we gnaw on them!
