Homemade burger bun

 
 

Do you smelly nice aroma of the freshly baked bread or buns? Isn’t it? today my home filled with so so nice aroma of burger buns..most of the time my kid in line just soon as soon it come out of the oven ,same as today…winner..

 

You will never buy burger bun from the pastry shop ones you try these. buns are light and fluffy in texture with the crusty out side.And rich with the nice buttery flavor.

This buns are good same day or next day. either doubled the recipe and freeze them for later use.

we use our buns to make burger sandwiches,egg and cheese sandwiches, meat ball sandwiches. Sometimes with butter jam or its own.yummy…
my version of egg and cheese sandwich



               
my meatball sandwich
 
 
To make the dough you can use your stand mixture. either mix the dough by hand like me. I don’t own a stand mixture yet. i hope to buy so..
 
 
let's get started...
 you’ll need: flour ,milk,egg,butter,yeast,salt
   In a large bowl dissolve sugar in warm milk, sprinkle in yeast and allow to proof.
 


Add salt ,melted butter and one egg. Wisk well.


Stir in the flour ½ cup at a time , combind well after each additions.  When the dough has pulled together, turn it out on to a lightly floured surface and kneed until smooth and elastic.


 



Slightly oil the large clean bowl and return the dough in to the bowl.Cover the bowl with the cling wrap or with the damp tea towel.  Let the dough rise about 1 and ½ hour or until doubled in size
 

Punch the dough down and put on to floured surface. Divide the dough in to 12 equel pieces, shape in to small balls and place on a greased baking sheet,flatten slightly.



 
Cover and let it rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 200 c degreese for 20 -25 minutes.

homemade vanilla ice cream (no heavy cream)

 
 
 
 
 



Today I’m gonna share with you guys my homemade vanilla ice cream recipe.

So many recipes calling heavy cream for making ice cream. I used to make my ice cream dessert using heavy cream and condensed milk (two ingredient ice cream-recipe will soon)….when I in Maldives. But here in Srilanka heavy cream or whipping cream is the most expensive milk product ..even difficult to find.instead of using canned condensed milk make your own one.recipe here my homemade condensed milk

So I have googled how to make ice cream without using heavy or whipping cream. Finally I found this wonderful recipe from eating well  .


 

The ice cream was so so delicious. You cannot imagine how creaminess it has without heavy cream.

This is a custard based ice cream recipe. what you have to do is make custard mixture ,chilled and churn using your ice cream maker.

Don’t you own an ice cream maker…don’t don’t don’t worry guys…still you can make any ice cream recipe without a machine..using still freezing method. It will takes almost two days to finish. but  definitely worth it.
 
Here’s a simple recipe for low-fat no machine vanilla ice cream.

Let’s get started….

You’ll need: milk,condensed milk ,gelatin and vanilla essense, egg yolks







Whisk egg yolks and condensed milk in large bowl.                                      





   Sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl and set a side


 

           Pour 1 ½ cups milk in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and heat the milk over medium heat until small bubbles appeared ..(edges of the pan)


 
 
                 Gradually add hot milk in to the egg mixture and whisk   until fully blended


 
 
       Return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat ,stirring with the wooden spoon until the back of the spoon is lightly coated.



 
         Strain the custard to the bowl and add softened gelatin ,vanilla and remaining 1 ½ c milk.





 

         Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

         Pour in to the ice cream machine and churn according to the manufactures direction.

    Still freezing method:

          Put custard mixture in the freezer for about 45 minutes.by this time its start to freeze near the edges.take it out and give it a quick stir using whisk or hand held mixture.do this procedure until you have a smooth consistency in ice cristles.

Ones made store in a clean jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. or in the freezer for long.

In this recipe you can have three cups of condensed milk .equal to 2 cans of store bought (14 ounce )one.

Let’s get started….

you'll need:
