1 egg
30 to 50 ml of water.

above recipe will be enough serving for 2 persons. Increase accordingly to your serving but the machine max capacity will be around 4 cups of flour. try not to make more then that, or split it into 2 times.

one ready, you can either roll the dough to a flat surface and then cut it or you can used a noodle making machine to shape it to your desire pattern.

Apple Crumble Cake

Ingredients:
adapted from here
(modified slightly)

Apple filling:
5 Gala apples, peeled and chopped
1 ½ tbs unsalted butter, room temperature
½ tsp ground cinnamon

Crumble topping:
185g Self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
130g unsalted butter, room temperature
140g brown sugar

Base:
100g unsalted butter, room temperature
80g brown sugar
1 egg
150g self raising flour, sifted
1/2 tsp baking soda, sifted
1 tablespoon milk
icing sugar, to dust (i omit)

Preheat oven to 160ºC/320ºF; butter a 20x30cm (8x12in) pan and line with non-stick baking paper or foil (if using foil, butter it, too) extending paper/foil over the edges of pan.

Start by making the filling: place the apples, butter and cinnamon in a saucepan over low heat and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Allow to cool.

Now, the crumble: combine flour, baking powder, butter and sugar in a bowl and mix using your fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Set aside.

Make the base: place the butter and sugar in an electric mixer and beat until creamy. Add the egg and beat well. Fold through the flour, baking powder and milk. Spread into prepared pan – it will be a thin layer - top with the apple filling and crumble and bake for 40 minutes until golden. Allow to cool, unmold using the foil “handles” and cut into squares. Dust with icing sugar to serve.

Serves 6-8 – I made ¾ of the recipe above, used a 20cm square pan and got 16 bars

I used cupcakes and make 7 cups

Custard Tart

I like it!! I always like custard cream, adapted the custard cream recipe from kuali. The rest are my own combination.

Bottom:
150g Digestive biscuit
100ml Butter

Crunch the biscuit then melt the butter and combine it. Press it at the bottom of the paper cup

Custard Cream:
2 eggs yolk
180g sugar
60g custard powder
30g corn flour
400 ml UHT fresh milk
300 ml water
1 tsp butter

Sift custard powder and corn flour in a bowl.
Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl for 3–4 minutes, then stir in flour mixture.

Bring milk and water to near boiling point. Pour the hot milk into the egg and custard mixture, whisking well.

Return mixture to cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly till mixture takes on a thick consistency. Remove from heat and stir in butter.

Wait till cool down slightly then spoon into the cup

I added some blueberry puree on top, like this


I used 2 different cup, small and big. Of course if you has the time to make the small ones, it do taste better. Probably of the bite size and the big ones I cut it before serving.
