Biskut Dahlia

To sleep or not to sleep... ....normally that question only require very little and almost zero thinking and consideration from me. The answer will always be TO SLEEP. But out of the norm, yesterday, I had a hard time agreeing to myself with that TO SLEEP answer. Thanks to these two ladies, Mak Lang and Jid who managed to reverse the answer to NOT TO SLEEP! I thought of taking a short (boleh percaya ke short! Hehehe...paling short pun, 1 jam kot...hihihi) nap around 7 am. Syahmi was sleeping downstairs after sehri and the way he slept, made me really wanted to join him. Gosh, how I have to fight the feeling (wah...dah macam lagu ler plak bunyinya... can't fight the feeling.. hihihi)! Both these ladies kept chatting with me until it was just too late to take a nap! Thank you ladies...jasa-jasamu ku kenang! Hahaha....
But actually, I never regretted with that decision. I managed to finish the house chores in good time and even cooked for Iftaar, much much earlier than usual. Infact I managed to bake two cookies, one of which is my daring experiment! Will share the recipes with you guys soon, not to worry. And as a reward to my sacrifice, I got to go galavanting with dear hubby in the evening.... you know how much I love to go for a ride! Hahaha...macam budak kecik je....

As mentioned, one of the cookies that I've just tried yesterday came from the ever famous cyber chef Che Mat Gebu's Blog . According to Mat, this recipe was from Norazie RN Thank you so much to Norazie and Mat for sharing this lovely Biskut Dahlia recipe. Only thing, mine are not as lovely as yours. Note to Mat : You must have forgotten to paste the 'mandrem' you used when baking those lovely cookies of yours.... hahahaha..... Here's the recipe if anyone care to try it for this Eid.....

    Thank you for your kind words Shabs and thanks for visiting. The recipe requires a lot of butter because it needs to be soft enough to go through the mould.

    MAK TEH :
    Maybe Mak Teh punya Dahlia's dough is a bit too soft tak? That's why it cannot hold the shape. Kita pun kadang-kadang kalau tidur, sakit kepala juga, tapi kalau dah ngantuk, tidur aje!

    Fiza Nordin :
    Mama tak guna nozel. Mama guna acuan Dahlia.

    MAK TEH :
    Lor, ada peminat Hangman gak ye.... next time round, try these letters first... R, S, T, L, N, E *wink wink*

    makcikkantin :
    Awal buat experiment ni sebab ada yang order... hehehe...

    shima :
    Salam Ramadhan buat Shima juga. Hahaha, belum tentu ada berbalang-balang. Ini mama baru testing sebab nak buatkan order sebenarnya...

    Mama pun dah penat asyik delete spam je. Tapi nak buat macam mana kan...
    Sorrylah Farina, mama lom berkesempatan nak ambil gambar step by step cara press this cookies. InsyaAllah bila mama buat (memang kena buat pun sebab ada order masuk), I'll try my best to snap the photos for you ye. Sorrylah kalau dah terlambat...

    Jun :
    Masuk molot, tak cun pun tak pe, janji sedap kan Jun.

    HomeKreation :
    Bukan tak sabor-sabor Along, tapi mama buat sebab nak kirim for a friend of mine. Kuih raya lom start lagi ni. InsyaAllah soon. Mama pun suka try new recipes, especially those with high recommendations tu... teruja nak tahu cemana rasanya.

    Adik Manja :
    Dia adik beradiklah tu...agaknya adik yang manja... hihi... jangan mare, gurau je...

    kucingorengemok :
    Lebih kurang je resepinya, cuma bentuk je lain.

    Uncle Lee :
    20 pieces of these Dahlia is nothing la Uncle. It's just like we rasa only. Better ask for the whole bottle! Baru syiok. Haha. Alahai so sorrylah Uncle if you feel tortured coming here. Psstt Uncle Lee, a telegram is coming soon... hahaha...

    Mat Gebu :
    Lawak aa Mat, nak order 200 ketui eh? Takut tak capai mutu sirim Mat tu... Mat kan nak maintain lemak mahal! Hahahaha....

  19. Salam Mama Fahmi..selalu baca jer x nah comment..ni hah baru nak komen.
    Nak tanya Biskut Dahlia ni sama ke resipi dengan Samperit..selalu buat jadi leper...jerrr..frust tapi sedap nak makan dia..camner yerr???

  20. Salt N Turmeric :
    Thousand apologies Farina. Only now that I managed to edit the photos as you've requested. Lambat betul mama ni... That's the spirit girl... kalau tak jadi, cuba dan cuba lagi!

    fadelicouscakes :
    Waalaikumussalam dear. Terima kasih kerana sudi menegur mama this time ya. Dahlia ni adik beradik samperit juga, cuma shape je lain. Mungkin adunan tu terlalu lembik agaknya, tu sebab bila bakar, ianya meleper. Tak apa, cuba dah terus mencuba, insyaAllah berjaya juga nanti...

  24. salam mama... saya aru try buat biskut ni buat pertama kali.. unfortunately ia jadi flat bila saya bakar.. so if this happen, leh saya tambah tepung gandum lagi tak.. tq mama

    ReplyDelete
  25. Salam Mama,

    Dah try this resipi tadi. Terlalu lembik so kena tambah 1/4 cup tepung gandum and 1 tbsp corn flour. Sedap!!...Mungkin pasal tempat dan tepung yang say a guna berlainan so kena adjust sikit. Tapi tetap sedap! Terima ksih.:)
