Homemade Caramel Recipe

Making caramel is as easy as ABC.
Its really easy to make by mixing everything together.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of corn syrup
1/4 cup of melted butter
1/2 cup of condensed milk
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
Pint of salt

Steps:

Mix everything together and microwave it for 6 minutes, take it out every two minutes and stir it as the mixture form two layers, we don't want it to happen as the final product.

Kindly remind that you must use a very big bowl for this, I used a medium bowl which the mixture cover half of the bowl, ended up, the caramel explode! Caramel burst out from the bowl and stick all over my microwave.
A lot of works to be done to clean the microwave.

As my bowl is too small, I try another method, which is the traditional one. Warm the pan and put some butter then pour the mixture into it, it will slowly turns into golden brown caramel after few minutes.

If you use pan like me, after take out the caramel, no need to wash it immediately, just soak it with water and one hour later the crystallized sugar will dissolve in water and you can wash it away easily. 

Conclusion: Caramel is all about sugar, its really sweet and increases the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, if can, avoid the use of caramel, sometime you can replace it by using honey which is more natural and healthier! 

Substitute of Whipping Cream

People said substitute whipping cream with evaporated milk.
Their ingredients are:

Evaporated milk, sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence and some corn starch.
My advice is, if you don't have electronic mixer, please DO NOT TRY IT
you will beat the mixture until you cry, ended up nothing change, it still liquid.

Maybe because I'm from Malaysia, a all-time-hot country which makes me failed from doing this.
I'm not sure, but what I'm sure is, don't make it with manually mixer! I've been beating the mixture for 2 hours and it tastes terrible. Taste of flour > taste of whipping cream
If anyone does successfully make this, please comment below, I would like to know how to make it :D

Easy Homemade Pancakes Recipe

Just wanted to cook him something and surprised him by that.
So I was searching for the pancake's recipe.
Somehow, the recipe that I got is not fit to me, as it was too liquid, run out of shape and it doesn't look like what I'd watched from the tutorial video, I guess its the flour for each countries is different quality. Some may be thicker but mine is poor quality I guess. Whatever, I make my own new recipe then.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of flour
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
2 eggs
1/4 cup of melted butter
1 cup of milk
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence


  First, beat the milk until many bubbles are formed. Add in eggs and beat until its fairly mixed. Add all the other ingredients in and mix it well. Make sure that the flour is mixed well and it must be filtered as there's impurities in the flour and filter it makes it a better texture.

This is roughly how the process was going on.

Thick and fair batter is now prepared.

Just slowly pour a big spoon of batter into the pot with some butter. It just came out as nice as these :D

Put the best pancake on the top, you may decorate it with fruits, maple syrup or honey.

In this case, I put some mangoes and honey on it, and use the honey to make some pattern by simply drawing an irregular circle around it
