I always go to Starbucks , not only their beverages addicting , also their pastries , especially the chic'o cheese ( sausage wrapped in pastry skin )
I thought to myself , why not learn to make some myself instead of spending unnecessary money on those delicious bastards that cost a bomb ?!
And so my mum , who is a baker , told me there are ready made pastry to be bought from the freezer section in the markets , just wrap it around a sausage and bake it in oven . As easy as that .
So I went to a few market hunting the ready made pastry .
Disappointing enough , couldn't find it in either jusco or tesco .
And at last , found it in plentong giant !!!
What we need ?
1.purchase ready made pastry ! (4.90 ringgit per pack)
2.mould/ baking pan ( the heart shape cookie cutter was 5ringgit from 100yen store)
4.anything u wanna stuff in your pastry : sausage , ham and cheese , kaya , peanut butter ~~~
5.oven / convention microwave ( I'm using a microwave in convention mode , works in the same way of an oven )
6. Aluminum foil ( with / without )
First , take out a piece of the pastry
Then , cut it out using a mould , in this case I'm using a heart shape cookie cutter ...
Put some kaya / jam at the center and cover it with another piece . Seal them in!
i would recommend to press along the side with chopstick end instead of fork ... it is neater
Grease the aluminum foil with butter to prevent it sticking to the foil .
Preheat the microwave in convention mode , set the temperatures to 200 degree Celsius . ( on the packaging was a temperate wayyy higher than 200, but trust me , 200 works just well , no burnt pastries )
Place the pastries in , bake for 15 minutes .
And tadaaaaa !!! They're done !!!
I guess I had to press the pastry a little because they "poooof" rises sooooooo much than it should've !!!!!!
( I've only made two puffs , one failed - distorted , another one also rises too much , but the shape still appears to be a heart shape lah ...)
They may be distorted but the taste even better than Starbucks' , really ...
It was considered cheating using a ready made pastry but who cares ! Lie if u need to ! Impress your new bf ! Impress your friends and colleagues !!! They'll never find out u cheated ! XD
Alternatively , you can also make it into a pie . I'll do that tomorrow . Gonna make some "otak-otak" pie for baby boy .
