Apple Crumble Tart Recipe

Having bought a new tart pan recently, I couldn't wait to try it out! This 20cm tart pan with removable base was bought from Bake King's outlet in Haig Road for $14.90 (if I remember correctly). They did not have a big range for me to choose from; another option being a 23cm tart pan with removable base going at $8-ish. Personally, I prefer a smaller pan despite the heftier price tag as I do not want to bake such big portions each time.

Making the tart is relatively easy but having proper time management and knowing when to do what will help to speed things up. The tart base has to be frozen at least twice and the apples need to be sautéed for 20-30 minutes. I took reference for tart base from joyofbaking and adapted apple fillings and crumble from smallsmallbaker!

Soba noodles recipe

With intentions to bring soba noodles for lunch, I cooked and cooled a bunch of my favourite buckwheat noodles only to realise that I had ran out of store bought dipping sauce! Sigh. What should I do with my noodles...

A quick search on google and I landed on this promising recipe by Nigella Lawson. It did not disappoint!

Basic Scones recipe: Cranberry and almond flakes

I used to think that Scones are dry, tasteless and boring hard biscuits. However, after sampling various kinds of scones, I have begun to appreciate its taste. Scones are what I like to call "structured" biscuits; they have a fixed shape but crumble finely when bitten into. I love scones with a strong buttery taste with minimal sweetness. They are highly versatile; you can add chocolate chips, dried fruit like cranberries, raisins and nuts like almond flakes. You could also enjoy your plain scones with some clotted cream or jam.
