Bread & Butter Pudding with Custard Cream Sauce

Taken from K Wan Shana's FB...


Hi. A few of my friends have requested for my Bread and Butter Pudding recipe. It's actually one of the most simple campak-campak recipes, and takes less than half an hour to siap from the point you cut the bread until it's cooked - ready to be eaten.

Here goes :

INGREDIENTS -

8 - 10 pieces of bread - buttered on one side, cut off the crusts on the sides, all cut into halves
(DO NOT throw the crusts away - cut into small pieces)
5 eggs
1 can of Evaporated Milk (preferably Carnation)
1 can of water (use the milk can)
1 cup of Fresh/UHT Milk
6 - 8 tbsp of fine granulated sugar
1 tsp Vanilla essence
Raisins

COOKING METHOD -

Bread & Butter Pudding

1. Spread butter on baking dish thinly - covering all surfaces
2. Line the dish with buttered bread pieces (with the un-buttered side facing inside)
3. Sprinkle raisins on top of bread base
4. Sprinkle the bread crusts pieces on top
5. Combine Eggs, Evaporated Milk, Fresh/UHT Milk, Water, Vanilla Essence and Sugar in a blender, and blend for 20-30 seconds.
6. Pour blended mixture into baking dish
7. Cut whatever left of buttered bread into halves, and arrange nicely on top of the mixture. Make sure all pieces are submerged in Egg/Milk mixture.
8. Cook in Dual Convection and Grill Microwave Oven at 230 C, at 70% Power for 15-16 minutes.
9. Once cooked, spread butter on top of the hot pudding until it's melted
10. Eat with warm Custard Cream Sauce.

Custard Cream Sauce

1. Combine 4 tbsp of Custard Powder with 4-5 tbsp sugar and 1 cup of milk taken from 1 litre pack of Fresh /UHT Milk. Mix Well. Set aside.
2. Bring the rest of the Milk to boil.
3. When it's nearly boiling, pour the milk into the Custard Mixture. Mix evenly.
4. Pour the mixture back into the pot and simmer and stir continuously.
5. Turn off heat immediately after it starts to boil.

Tadaaaaa... Siap untuk dimakan dengan B&B Pudding :)

Rahsia Kari Mamak!

Tunggu Kak Lah letak lam blog ni.. rasanya tak letak kot.. so saya tolong masukkan ye..

here goes:
Alhamdulillah baru lepas makan tengahari. Madrasah harini sungguh mengembirakan. Rasa berbaloi sacrificing your Sunday morning kalau anak2 happy and eager to learn. On the way back teringat yg my kari ikan semalam belum tarok asam lagi. Semalam malas nak keluar after the second hottest night this summer. Tapi ikan dah defrost, masak gak la.

Saya ni suka sangat makan (tapi tak leh lawan K.Azni you all yg pandai makan tu) mak pulak org Tanjung, dari kecik lauk kami lagi2 kari-kari, nasi kandaq paperdom. Saya suka sangat makan kari and all the condiments that come with it spt acar lemon, sambal belacan ulam timun, ikan gelama asam. Saya kalau makan kari di kedai famous, balik nanti saya buat kari nak rasa macam tu gak (tu yg mamak menangis tu, cannot make money from me). Maka, saya pun dah jadi famos mami kari (macam famous Amos tu la) dan badan pun bau kari, rambut bau kari, langsir bau kari, kentut bau kari........ .....

Walaubagaimana dan berbagaicara saya masak kari, tak sama macam kari nasi kandaq Simpang Enam yg saya makan masa kekecik dulu. Orchid...or Orchid, tulong pi belajaq mai...

Baru2 ni saya pi Adelaide. Dengan takdir Allah 'azajawala, saya terjumpa sorg mek kelante kahwin mamak. Dia nak ajak gak saya makan tengahari kat rumah dia. Sambil kami pokpek, dia masak kari ikan kesukaan suaminya. Tengah masak, dia angkat belanga goyang-goyang. Saya peratikan dan tanya apa dia buat? Dia kata ni cara org India Chennai mari masak kari, tak kacau, tak goreng rempah dulu. Semua masuk, masak, bila mendidih angkat belangan lengang kanan lenggang kiri, Kak ipaq dia ajaq mai....ooohhh. .. memang sedap kari dia! Lama dia masak, tapi memang sedap MasyaAllah. Pinggang dia pun tak le besau cam kita... asik dok melenggang.. .

So saya pun dengan ghairahnya melengganglah belanga saya masa masak kari semalam (agak kalu mamak simpang enam masak camtu tentu memerlukan 10 org kan?) tapi berat gak tau, sebab belanga saya tu iron cast. Anak tanya, watcadoing mummy?? ... hehehe... I'm doing 'salsa'.... maka jadilah kari saya 'Salsa Curry'.... memang rasa kari nasi kandaq Simpang Enam tau! (ada lagi ke simpang enam tu Orkid?)

Ta. nak sabun tangan sat, bau karrrrrrrrriiiiiiii i......!!

From Kak Alah: A message to My Children..

Salam Rin,
Betul tu Rin, kalau ada kematian, bawaklah anak2 yg dah faham tentang kematian ikut ziarah. Ajar dia dari A-Z. Ini termasuk siapa yg involve, bayaran berapa dan nak buat apa selepas itu.

Kak Lah dah beritahu anak2 K.Lah, kalau mummy mati, jangan panik. First call Aunty Z (she's one of the ladies in charge of janazah) then call Br. Ali (a very supportive brother) tell him to inform the imam, the imam will tell the brothers to dig the grave, and get the health officer to come and confirm my death. Telefon nombor ada dalam phone book, kalau tak jumpa phone book, check my mobile, kalau tak jumpa my mobile, call sape2 dalam your mobile, or check my skype contact. Kemas rumah sikit, nanti org nak datang. Then call aunty Niken and sister Fatma. While waiting feed all the cats and let them out of the house. Feed the chooks as well (you'll be busy the whole day, zalim kita tak bagi makan our pets) Cover me with a clean bed linen, kalau aunty Z minta kain batik lepas ada dalam almari tingkat atas belah belakang. I already told her my email password, and how to do internet banking and where to find all my passwords, transfer all the money into her account. Most probably no one will ask you for any money, but if you're able to get to the nearest ATM, pay them, and pay for any funeral expenses if they ask, but not to worry, Allah will take care of it. Don't cry, but if you can't help yourself, it's alright to cry and don't fight with adik. DO NOT get child protection or the public trustee get involve if I die before adik is 16.
When you come back from the grave, don't forget to take ghusul and perform your wajib prayer and make du'a for me. Don't bother with flowers or tahlil. If there's extra money, give to brother Ali to put a stone on my grave just in case your other sisters or my cucus from Malaysia want to see where I was buried. If you don't have the money, don't bother yourself. After you have recollected yourself, have a cup of warm milo and eat something, switch on my skype account, inform my families in KL and your families in Australia (dad's side) then......... email my friends at stfoga@yahoogroups.com. Sleep tight my love... always remember that I love you so much and whatever happen to you, remain a Muslim, and be a good one for that matter. May Allah be with you forever.

Love,
Mummy

Registration in STF - K Wardah '74

Salam to All,


Yes, I went there to "menyibuk" using the Srikandi license la... I came late to the school, because I left KL late (8:45am). Nearly 12:30 pm. Some parents asked me questions, thinking I was a teacher, but I proudly announced, I am an alumni. They were happy to see me, I suppose. Bak kata Kak Nami, kami ni orang-orang yang tak tahu nak keluar dari sekolah heh he.....

Besides Awin, Eyerin, Mazura, Kak Nami (Fauziah Desa) I also met with Norsarahaida (aka Umi). I also met Lya, the PIBG President. After inspecting (perasan macam cikgu nazir tu..) the dorms and the Srikandis, I went over to the office konon-kononnya to bid farewell to the Pengetua, Kak Junaidi. She was finishing her practice for tomorrow's (today la: 9am tadi) video conferencing with MCKK Pengetua and Kementerian. Instead of going back I actually spent another 1.5 hours more. I spent quite a long time with her, temankan dia makan (I puasa).. and later site visits to some 'new' places. So we had a good conversation on the school's transformation exercise. She really did some cleaning; physical, teachers, student and administrative as well as attitude.

The following is my report to you girls on my expedition at our newly rejuvenated beloved school.

I must say I was IMPRESSED upon driving up to the main tarmac, near the office building. There is this BIG and LONG brightly painted with our school green color, welcoming board spanning across at least 2 classrooms length, at the admin block to greet visitors. The words "WELCOME TO SEKOLAH TUN FATIMAH". Also they have transformed the whole length of the ground floor corridor, at the block facing the tarmac into a covered green awning walk-way. The bilik guru has been moved from the other block to this block and it looked much much better with new sturdy tables. And the Pusat Sumber has been moved to a more humane area from the 4th floor, i.e. to the block nearest to the road, second floor. This floor is connected via a brigde from the tarmac so students now frequent the Pusat Sumber, not like before.


At the "kolam" area infront of the office, the fish tank is gone and replaced with beautiful shiny glass panel laden with all the prizes and awards which were in the Pengetua's room all this while. This has made our sisters happy and motivated to see all the winnings made by the school and their seniors. (I tak sempat nak ambil gambar ni. Later lah ok..)

Oh..yes, the canteen. The place where sampah used to be thrown and an eye-sore was cleaned up and turned into a cosy enclosed air-cond eating place for teachers and visitors..like me.. where I spent my talking time with the Pengetua -- at least about 30 minutes max there.


Oh there are a million things to tell you. Kak Junaidi has really done her best and yet she says she is still not finished yet. Next year she is due to retire, so she likes to get most of the changes in soon.


On another note: You could also "see" other important and intangible changes too... the 'air' of Kakak-kakak bullying adik-adik is hopefully thing of the past.. She said she had a hard time identifying the root causes, but ALhamdullilah it was ironed out last year and hopefully we are seeing more of the seniors ambracing and welcoming the new adiks with open arms. She said however closer monitoring is still needed to ensure the culture which we had last time will be returned accordingly. HEM is a new outside teacher hand-picked by the Jabatan -- she is Puan Maimunah, a very motherly figure and I am sure the new girls will relate to her. Puan Saidah is now guru cemerlang and will concentrate on teaching. I met Pn Saidah and a few other teachers at the canteen.


I must commend the way Kak Ju playing her role as the passionate Pengetua handled her PR with the parents and their soon to-be-left behind daughters. She would dakap the new girls and made them felt welcomed. I was told around 127 new girls registered that day. They estimated that each girl would be accompanied by a pair of parents, so they arranged chairs for around 127x3, but the turn out was over subscribed by 7 to 8 times; Grandma and Grandpa, abang-adik-kakak were also there to send off this new Puteri Srikandi. So obviously you expect some delays in the registration process -- understandable. But luckily the dewan is now fully air-conditioned and has a new face lift.

Apa lagi nak cerita eh.. oh yes, the dorm... The dorm which I went to (former Block A) now Blue coloured has been tiled with white tiles to cover the old cement surface. The toilets are due to be reno in the next phase. The bed sheets are all white with the School Badge printed at the foot of the sheet. So sejuklah sikit mata memandangnya. RM20 each bed sheet. Nak beli ke??? For we all the price is special...at RM50.00 he he he...

I will append some of the pictures I took with my not-so-clear mobile handphone camera.


All in all, I seriously suggest that those who have the means, and if you ikhlas, please lend a hand or contribute some extra funds to the school while Kak Ju is still there and trying to make our school prestine again.

Kak Ju also asked that you all please DOA that the school gets good SPM results so that it can be adorned with a special entitlement which carries with it a substantial financial assistance. The recent excellent PMR 1.01 results was such a great gift to the school and all the form 4 girls were gleaming with pride whenever they introduced themselves as Form 4 girls.. and why not? because almost everyone got 8As... woosh..some of them are R2V players too.


Lastly, I hope to organise a get-together to visit Cik Kalthum. I thought of getting the UTM and JB girls on board. Kak Ju would like to come along so that we can use the NEW SCHOOL BUS.


Ok.. bye for now.

SK Nurimah '73 passed away this morning

Salam

Received sms from Sarah a few minutes ago... Kak Nuri baru saja meninggal dunia around 6.30am di rumahnya di Putrajaya. I managed to speak to Sarah sekejap tadi, she is still waiting for her aunts and uncles to come untuk
uruskan jenazah. At this point tak tau lagi nak kebumikan di mana, pukul berapa etc. Since she is alone and obviously very distraught, harap siapa2 yang boleh ziarah can do so to give her strength and support.

I sebenarnya dah lama tak pegi rumah kak nuri so dah tak ingat... so siapa2 yang boleh bagi direction to her house in precint 11, sangat2 la dihargai. Kak Anis Saleha and myself will try to go there at 10++ this morning.

This is a very sad news to me and all of us....Semoga roh kak nuri dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang2 yang beriman. Al-fatihah.
