How to build ant colonies... yg bleh tolan.

My obsession with 80's recipe is not new to my family and some of my frenz. Having done 8 cookies altogether, I figured that should be enough. But then recently I was goin thru websites, (blogs n fotopages sharing recipes) and.. I found myself scouting for more recipes... and I fell in love with biskut makmur and biskut sarang semut. These are considered as evergreen, especially makmur. Sarang semut was famous in the 90s I think... hoho... but still evergreen gituw. Looking at the recipe... I realised I could still afford to make another cookies, and I chose sarang semut as most of the ingredients are already available.
When I searched the net, most of the recipes are the same. So here I share one of the links from a famous foodblog. http://hanieliza.fotopages.com/?entry=901155 . I rewrote... konon kasi variety sket dan takla copy paste je kan :P btw can also refer to the link for the resepi, in case mine tak clear sgt  :P

The Ingredients:

  • 350 gm wheat flour

  • 100 gm corn flour

  • 250 gm butter

  • 100 gm castor sugar

  • 1 egg (just the eggyolk)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
 For Deco:

  • Chocolate rice
Things you need (other than the normal baking stuff):

  • Grater

  • Small Paper cups
Method:

  1. Sift wheat flour and corn flour together.

  2. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Beat in the eggyolk and  add vanilla essense.

  4. Blend in the dry ingredients (both the flours) gradually. Add and mix well.

  5. Form into big doughs so that it will be easier to grate the doughs.

  6. Grate the doughs into a bowl

  7. Take a spoonful (/or accordingly) of the grated doughs into the paper cups.

  8. Spread some chocolate rice for decoration.

  9. Bake for about 12-15 minutes in hot oven at  around 160-180 celcius.

  10. DONE !

Guidelines to use Grater:
As seen in the photoblog, Ms.Hanie used this :


seems handy and easy right. But I dont have one of these!

therefore... I resort to this:

less blades huh.... imagine the efforts needed :P

But it was not that troublesome... So here's a demo of how I did it... cewah:

har har har... as u can see... I'm not using the dough. As this demo was done after the cookies dah siap! So I used Ain'a plasticine instead :)) huahuahua....

And your final result... would look something like this:

The Ant-Queen will be very excited!

 So Am I  !!  Siok sendiri kuasa dua :P
