CNY Honey Cornflake Cups (I) & (II)
This cookies will definitely be well received by all kids as
it's crispy, sweet and buttery. Since it is so simple and easy to
make, it's highly recommended to bake for this coming Chinese New
year! There are many recipes around, some go with nuts, some with
dried fruit, however, I still prefer pure cornflakes as it tastes
best . My daughters share the same view.
I hardly eat cereal, therefore, I'm not sure which brand to use
for this cookie. My daughter recommended Kellogg's as she thinks
they have the best product. This time round, I use two packs of
cornflakes but I don't think it can last till Chinese New Year as
both my daughters love this cookie, if they
start to eat, they can't stop and each of them can finish half
of the recipe at one go. Therefore, I'll bake another round to keep
for the big day. If you would like to join the fun, here is the
recipe. Preparation - Preheat oven at 170*C for 15 mins. Makes
about 50 cups. Ingredients - 45g butter - 1 tbsp sugar - 1 tbsp
honey - 125g corn flakes Method 1. Melt butter in microwave for 20
sec. 2. Add in sugar and honey, stir till sugar is dissolved. 3.
Add in corn flakes and mix well. 4. Spoon into small paper cup and
bake at 170*C for 8 mins or lightly golden. 2nd Batch: Since this
is a fuss free recipe, I decided to bake another batch on Feb 6. I
did 2 recipes this time round, it only filled up two bottles. For
this batch, I tried to add some almond flakes and raisins to some
of cups, hope to add more flavour but it didn't make too much a
different in term of taste and crispiness. Anyway, it's just
experimental! Cheer!
If you are not from South East Asia, you may ask what the heck
is Nestum? Well, it is a brand of cereal made by Nestl very popular
in Malaysia and Singapore. I think every Malaysian or Singaporean
would have grown up drinking the hot cereal as a child. I love it
with Milo and hot milk.
These are biscuits made using Nestum. They are very light and
crispy, just nice and not very sweet, but with very aromatic Nestum
flavour. I think that due to the amount of bicarbonate of soda used
in this particular recipe, the biscuits turned quite brown as they
baked, and made them very crispy. However I think 1/2 teaspoon of
soda is just a tad too much as I can feel just that slightest hint
of soapy taste after eating them. So if you are sensitive to soda,
I would suggest you reduce the amount slightly, say 1/3 teaspoon
instead of 1/2 teaspoon. I topped mine with red glac cherries so
they are festive for the upcoming Chinese New Year!
Makes approx. 35-40 biscuits[Ingredients] 125g butter, softened
80g (1/3 cup) caster sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 egg 150g
(1 cup) plain flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon bicarb.

baking powder and soda together and then mix in Nestum to combine;
set aside. Put the extra Nestum in a wide plate for coating. Cut
each glac cherry into 8 pieces. 2. Beat softened butter and sugar
until creamy. Beat in vanilla and egg until combined. 3. Add flour
mixture and mix into a soft dough; the dough will be sticky.
4. Pinch 1/2-tablespoon-size dough pieces (about 10g each) and
roll into balls. Toss dough balls in the extra Nestum to coat.
5. Place on the prepared baking sheets; space apart. Use the
prongs of a fork to press down each ball lightly and press a cut
piece of cherry on top.
6. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
