Soft, Firm & Stiff Peaks for Whipping Cream or Egg Whites

Soft and stiff Peaks......Captain Hooks' hand....lalalalala~

For a first time  or newbie bakers....understanding some of the baking terms is a must...It is important for us to understand the function, the uses and other related items in order to get the desired results at the end of baking process. When we did not use the right technique or read a recipe wrong, and the results can become very unpredictable... For today i would like to share about the terms of soft, firm and stiff peaks which i get from the cook website...I just copy the related information for you all to read...hehehehehe. The technique is the same for beating egg whites or whipped cream...

1. No Peaks: After a few minutes of whipping, the egg whites are getting foamy & opaque, but they're still so liquidy that they won't hold a shape at all
2. Soft Peaks: When you turn your whisk upside down, the peaks are just starting to hold. They're soft and melt back into themselves after a second
3. Firm Peaks: Now when you turn your whisk upside down, the peaks will hold and the ridges are more distinct, but tips fold back on themselves. 
4. Stiff Peaks: Turn the whisk upside down, and those peaks hold proudly. They should point straight up without collapsing at all. The mixture is thick and heavy.
5.  Over Beating: After the stiff peak stage, egg whites or whipped cream will start to look grainy and dull. They will eventually collapse back on themselves

If you are making meringue or anything where sugar has been added during whipping, you do not have to worry about over-beating them as much. Well......can try beating the egg whites and start making the meringue for pavlove.....weheee....

HoW to PrePare ButterMilk?

Buttermilk?? Nak dijadikan cerita...aku dulu pn bkn nyer tau apa tue buttermilk....tapi memandangkan skrg nie segala nyer di hujung jari, maka akhirnya dapat lh juga search info tentang buttermilk neh....Tapi aku rajin sket (perasan sekali sekala) so, aku search video dlm youtube...hehehehe. Kita xlah pakai buttermilk nie hari2. So, when you try one, you have to use homemade buttermilk or get it ready-made.The remaining buttermilk has to be stored in the refrigerator, tapi selalu nyer dibuang jerk.......Kebanyakan baker gemar guna subtitues buttermilk drpd buttermilk buatan sendiri....Walaupn cepat dan jimat masa, tapi still xsama woooo. namun, aku prefer yg substitus...hehehehe

Here are some recipes to make buttermilk substitutes.

Method 1: In order to make a cup of buttermilk, you need one cup of milk (preferably whole milk), one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Add lemon juice or vinegar to the milk and mix well with a spoon. If you are using lemon juice, make sure to sieve it, so as to remove the seeds and pulp. (You can even use lemon juice concentrate.) Wait for five to ten minutes. The lemon juice/vinegar will curdle the milk that can be used as a buttermilk substitute.

Method 2: You can make a substitute for buttermilk, by adding 1¾ teaspoons of cream of tartar to a cup of plain milk. Mix it well with the milk and keep it aside for ten minutes. You can use the curdled solution as a replacement for buttermilk. Nowadays, buttermilk powder is also available, which has to be mixed with sufficient water to make buttermilk.

Method 3: You may replace buttermilk with yogurt too. All you have to do is to check the amount of buttermilk needed for the recipe and replace it with the same amount of yogurt. But only plain yogurt will serve the purpose and not the flavored ones, which can spoil the flavor of the dish. Some people use plain milk as an alternative to buttermilk.

Method 4: Another buttermilk substitute can be prepared by adding equal amounts of milk and yogurt. If you need one cup of buttermilk, you have to take ½ cup yogurt and ½ cup of plain milk. Mix well and use the solution, once it curdles. You may also use sour cream (mixed with 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk) as a substitute for buttermilk.

Bermula hari jumaat bau2 nie, smpi lh seminggu sblm raya, aku agak busy sket, busy menyiapkan tempahan rakan2. Mekasih kenkawan atas tempahan dan kepercayaan anda....i like...weee~~

nampak macam sempat jer nk siapkan semua jenis kuih tue, tapi bila da start baking....mak aih.....gerun lak tgk balang yg kosong....seb baek lh ada family members yg membantu....

iT JuSt tHe BegiNNinG...(^ ^)

   Alhamdulillah.....bukan senang nk start buka blog nie...ader jer yg xsempat...busy sokmo....nk buka blog nie nk kna duduk dan tenung...sambil2 tue mengarang ayat or share benda2 yg menarik...hehehe....At last, smpi juga seru aku untuk mula menaip. Sebelum nie aku bnyk habiskan masa di sebalik tabir jer....mcm saintis yg kna bereksperimen br lh  dpt yg terbaekkk.
  
   Da hampir 2 tahun tue aku bereksperimen sambil mengumpul buku and nota utk dikaji dan di teliti....Ada yang fail dan ada pula yg sukses. Bila sukses tue yg best nyer....rasa mcm nk baking hari2 smpi jemu. Almaklumlah, da master utk resipi tue. Tapi....bila yg gagal tue, hehhehe...mau jer aku sorok muka dalam guni...tp xpe....kata org putih "learnt by mistake"....and practice make perfect ok.

   Disebabkan kegilaan aku ni lh aku mula mengumpul alatan utk baking. Dah naik semak pula aku tgk....tp aku suka...ada aku kesah?hehehe....Kalau singgah jerk kedai barang2 kek...perghhhh mau lama aku kat dalam tue....dan disebabkan itulah, smpi skrg Mr. Hubby da xnk ikut skali bila nk g beli barang kek. Sekali jer dia temankan...uhuk2....Tragis x?? Bila kat kedai, aku belek...tilik...teliti....compare....pikir....syok sendiri smbil mmbygkn hasil....dan yg penting skali kira bajet...best wooo...nie lh yg dinamakan baking madness (mungkin aku jerk kot)

   Aku mula2 nyer...baking hanya kerana minat...bila masak jerk, mangsa nyer family aku and of course si suami. Dorang mmng cekap giler bab2 nk mengomplain neh.... namun komen dorang memang membangun. Yang paling cekap tue mama akulah.....kalah Chef Jo yg dalam MasterChef tue....Bibiu mama. Bila da masak tue....aku bg org tue rasa...org nie rasa...best bila dorang suka and habiskan. Sekarang da mula nk menjinakkan diri dalam bisnes....cewahhhh kecil2 je dulu....Boleh lah tahan....ada juga yang suka hasil membaking aku...Thanks u'olls.

   Banyak betul aku mengarang...dalam dok kata nk tulis sket....da jadi berbaris2 ayat. hehehe....nanti utk masa kedepan and post yg akan datang aku akan share pape jer yg aku rasa best. Kan org kata....Sharing is CaRing.....weewiitt.....Jum makan.....(Ups lupa bulan puasa).
