Oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies. Both chewy!

Chocochip Cookies
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degress Farenheit.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients first: 4 cups sifted all purpose flour + 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tsp baking powder + 1 tsp salt. I combine my dry ingredients in a Manila paper because, in Heny Sison, dry ingredients are always mixed in craft paper. It makes it easier to combine it with the wet ingredients.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: Mix 3/4 cup white sugar + 1 cup brown sugar + 1 cup melted butter. Use an electric mixer to cream until sugar is well incorporated. A friend of mine just asked me about the mixer I am using. I'm just using the cheapest Imarflex electric mixer I found in Abenson, haha! It came with a stainless steel bowl and the standard prongs. I don't have a budget yet for the pricey KitchenAid. ;-p The mixture should resemble a beige-like color by the time you're done with it.
  4. Reduce mixer speed and add 2 whole eggs one at a time. Add 1 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 1/2 tsp glucose. When you use eggs, make sure that you crack it one at a time. Put the egg in a small bowl first and inspect it first. The, put in the mixer if it's not spoiled. Wet the measuring spoon with water first before scooping out glucose. Then, with wet fingers, push the glucose out of the spoon and into the mixture.
  5. Remove from mixer, add the dry ingredients, and hand fold the ingredients. The cookie dough should be a little tough by this time. Add 340 grams of chocolate chips or mini kisses. But as I told you earlier, I equally divided the cookie dough in half, used 120 grams of chopped Goya chocolate for the chocochip cookies and 120 grams of instant oatmeal to make the oatmeal cookies. :)
  6. Scoop into prepared cookie sheets and bake for 7-10 minutes or until the cookies are ready. I used an ice cream scooper to make the sizes uniform and I placed a Glad baking sheet so I didn't have to brush shortening on my cookie trays anymore. By the way, do not overbake if you want your cookies chewy. You can also flatten the cookies while they are still warm and soft. My boy likes his scone-like so I didn't bother flattening them anymore.

Homemade Glazed Doughnuts



Homemade Glazed Doughnuts
Make these sweet, pillowy circles—plus your pick of the glaze—in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Makes about 30 doughnuts
For the doughnuts
2 tablespoons instant yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 cups cake flour
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk
2 tablespoons flour for kneading

For the chocolate glaze
200 grams finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the caramel glaze
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Dissolve yeast in warm water.

2 In a bowl, combine both flours, salt, and sugar; mix well.

3 In a mixing bowl, put in egg yolks, butter, milk, and yeast mixture. Attach the dough hook in the electric mixer and mix ingredients at low speed, adding 2 cups of the flour mixture a little at a time. Stop machine every now and then to scrape the sides of the bowl.

4 Stir in remaining flour until smooth and increase speed to medium for about 2 minutes until dough begins to pull away from the bowl.

5 Sprinkle flour for kneading on a clean table; knead dough until all the flour is incorporated. Form into a ball and transfer the dough to an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic and let rise in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 50 to 60 minutes. (Don't know how? Go here: How to Knead by Hand)

6 Punch down the dough, transfer to the floured surface, and roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough until half-inch-thick using a floured rolling pin. (Need help? Follow this tutorial: How to Proof Dough)

7 Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Cover and let rise until they double in size, about 30 to 40 minutes.

8 Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer at 350ºF. Fry doughnuts on both sides until golden.

9 Make the chocolate glaze: In a double boiler, place chocolate and oil and melt completely. Dip cooled doughnuts in the glaze and set on rack.

10 Make the caramel glaze: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and dissolve sugar completely. Cook syrup until golden caramel in color. Stir in heavy cream and butter, and mix until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Dip cooled doughnuts in the glaze and set on rack.

Banana Loaf



Banana Loaf
This tender and sweet loaf can be eaten at either room temperature or sliced straight from the refrigerator. It also freezes well so you can make this ahead and store it—for your next sweet fix.

Makes 2 to 3 (8x4-inch) loaves Prep Time 30 minutes Baking Time 35 to 40 minutes
1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 cups mashed sweet ripe bananas
1/2 cup crushed pineapple
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 Preheat oven to 375ºF. Prepare 2 or 3 (8x4-inch) loaf pans.

2 Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a large sheet of parchment paper.

3 Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the two sugars and mix at low speed.

4 Add butter and slowly increase speed to medium; continue beating until light and airy.

5 Add vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time.

Selling tips
• Bake them as cupcakes: For a finishing touch, pipe with cream cheese icing on top.
• Make marbled banana loaf: Take 1/3 of the batter and add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder. Dollop the mixture into the rest of the panned batter and swirl with a butter knife to make a marbled effect.

• Make it healthy: Replace the 1/4 cup flour with rolled whole oats for added fiber.

Hail to Chef Vicky for her Ensaymadas are the BEST!

In Baking & Pastry on December 19, 2009 at 12:28 am
I am always amazed on how Filipinos could imitate certain items and trends from other countries/ nations. But sometimes it is better not to call it “imitation” and rather consider it as an “improvement” in favour of the original item.
One very good example I can relate to the above statement is our famous ensaymada which is far better than the original Mallorca Ensaimada from Spain. I must say that Filipino bakers really gave “justice” to the Spanish originated bread through transforming it into a soft and melt in your mouth bread since the original version is tough, dense and not so tasteful as the modern one, it also uses lard instead of butter cream and grated aged Edam cheese (Queso de bola) for topping. However, it is believed that most local bakeries (from the “kantos”), particularly those located in rural areas are most likely at rest with the “old” and traditional way of making ensaimadas. Try to grab an ensaymada from you local bakeshop and you’ll notice what I mean, though, some bakeries already uses margarine for topping, but you can still feel the difference on its dough alone.
If looking for the best ensaymada, spending 50 -100 pesos per piece could be not worth for indulgence if you could make one on your own. A few months ago, I was lucky to have a last minute slot reserved (thanks for the rainy weather that time) in the acclaimed Ensaymada cooking class with Chef Vicky Villanueva at Heny Sison in QC. Some people would say that “A great chef shares everything she possibly can and keeps nothing for herself but her magical hands”. Hail to Chef Vicky for her Ensaymadas are the best and the greatest part of it is she shared the recipe with us!!!

A gift better than a box of truffles!
According to Chef Vicky— Ensaymadas can be made through 2 bread making methods: the straight dough method wherein you combine all the ingredients together and knead it until smooth and elastic then let it rise, punch it down to remove excess c02 and form it into ensaymadas and let it rise again until doubled in bulk. The straight dough method is also the easiest way to make breads.
On the other hand, there is what we call the “Sponge” method or in Filipino/ Spanish term the “Lavadora”. With this method, we make a sponge first through mixing the yeast, water and sugar with a modest amount of flour- this mixture is left covered for an hour or so to allow the full distribution of yeast. The mixture is then added to the other ingredients, kneaded until smooth and elastic, let it rest until doubled in bulk, punch it down (to remove excess c02) and then form into ensaymadas and let it rest again until double in bulk. This process is indeed more complicated and complex yet as they say “If you’re aiming for the best, you have to work hard for it”.

Soft, cakey and melt in your mouth feeling--- result you can only achieve thru the "sponge" method
—That’s one thing that made me realize that were not actually paying for the butter nor Edam Cheese from Holland on top those expensive over rated ensaymdas— were paying for their 6-8 hours of kneading, punching down, shaping, fermenting, baking, frosting, grating, packaging and sometimes “freezing” (what I usually do to keep breads fresh) :D
Ensaymada
Adapted from Ensaymada cooking class with Chef Vicky Villanueva
6 grams instant dry yeast
88 grams sugar
105 ml water
80 ml MAGNOLIA fresh milk
2-4 pcs egg yolks
6 grams salt
400 grams all purpose flour

A smooth dough is achieved thru proper mixing and fermentation
— Stir in the yeast with a little water and sugar, stir it and leave for 5-10 minutes.
— Combine the rest of the ingredients (including the yeast mixture), knead it until smooth and developed. This takes 20-25 minutes by hand or 10-12 minutes with a kitchen aid mixer.
—-Ferment/ let rest (covered) in a greased bowl for 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and punch down and form desired size and shape.
—- Classic ensaymadas are made through rounding the dough into balls, flatten it, brush with butter and sprinkle grated Edam cheese, roll dough and form into continuous ring then form into snail like shape. Make sure to tuck the ends to secure.

Some ensaymadas nowadays are no longer formed into shapes like snail's
— Place on greased brioche/ ensaymada molds. Let it rest again (covered) with cling wrap/ towel for 1-2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
—- Bake at 325-350 F for 12-15 minutes or until slightly brown. Let cool, brush with butter cream and sprinkle with grated Edam Cheese. I prefer the Marca Pina and Marca pato brand.

The best ensaymadas isn't always the most expensive
Sometime after World War II, when the Philippines were in the stage of rebuilding, there was a young lady named Inocencia Hizon who worked in Bud’s Department Store in Escolta, Manila. Inocencia met an old woman who gave her an ensaymda recipe. The woman told Inocencia, “Pag-aralan mo ito ineng. Itago mo. Diyan ka yayaman.”- Hizon’s ensaymda recipe.

    PANDESAL

    Pandesal
    by Heny Sison
    Yeast Mixture:
    1 cup lukewarm water
    2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
    2 teaspoons sugar
    Dough:
    500 grams bread flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    ½ cup sugar
    ½ cup corn oil
    2 slightly beaten egg yolks
    Bread crumbs
    Procedure:
    1.Mix together yeast mixture. Let rest for 10 minutes.
    2.Add the rest of the ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic. Let rest until double in bulk.
    3.Punch down and roll into a baston. Cut into desired size.
    4.Roll in bread crumbs.
    5.Place in cookie sheet with glad bake paper. Let rise until double.
    6.Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
    Note:  500 gms is 3 cups of bread flour, but  you may end up adding more as it may be too soft to your liking. I just added by way of dusting my board while kneading the dough (to prevent from sticking). I like the softness of just 3 cups of flour though.
