Who said baking was easy??

Just like everyone else, my sisters were busy baking cookies for Raya. They did the kuih makmur and biskut arab. Much to my surprise, the cookies turned out nice..hehe :)


While they were busy baking, I was busy in my room hibernating...the cosy bed was just too much to resist. The weather was extremely hot and humid during the weekend which indirectly contributed to my malasness. All I did was help them mix the fruits with the butter and flour to make the fruit cake.

biskut arab ....ours turned out to be crunchy too :)


biskut makmur (minus the icing sugar)

Normally, our kuih raya comprises of kuih "tunjuk", that is the easiest way eh! This year we decided to bake a few which happens to be my arwah mama's favourite just to remind us of her during this holy month of Ramadhan and Syawal.



the bunga api kids....

Happy Baking y'all!

Bila main bunga api tu, berhati-hati la ya!

Biskut Arab is one of my favourites!
Looks yummy in this photo.

This year, due to tight schedules, my siblings and I just buy the kuehs for the parents.

Maybe, if we are up to it, probably this weekend Buka Puasa at my parents, we might sit down together and bake some like old times.....

I orang Pahang darulmakmur, tapi tak pandai buat kuih makmur. Nak mintak recipe boleh?

Nour said...

zetty,

hehehe...we all belasah je buat. Luckily jadik tak keras ke apa.. Kalau keras campak je kat dinding :D

theta,
biskut arab is my favourite, easy to bake and it taste yummy too.

Buying kueh helps actually when you dont have the time to shop for ingredients and sit infront of the oven. And chances of the bought kuehs being "tak sedap" is very minimal.

Happy baking if you do decide to bake..:)

dnas,
amboi, mentang2 org pahang..:)

Hello Nour,

Lama tak chat as I have been on hiatus. Wah..buat kuih adik beradik ni. Splendid. I like 'kuih tunjuk'..ha ha, most of them quite nice lah these days.

Take care.

trueblue said...

Waaahhh..mesti sedap tu :)

Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir Batin

Hi Nour, this is the first time i'm visiting ur blog... :)

i agree, the heat really is the main contributing factor to the lack of productivity...

kalau bab buat kuih raya ni, i tukang rasa je, paling2 pun tukang bubuh kismis, choc chips bla bla bla...

what to do, my sis and my mom dominate the whole scene... and i can be a catastrophe ih the kitchen haha...
happy baking!
selamat hari raya!!

Mama Rock said...

nour, i envy the bunga api kids coz i am not one yet! sabar..sabar, nak kena tunggu raya baru boleh main sakan ngan bebudak lain :)

anyway, salam aidilfitri from mama rock to nour sekeluraga.

Nour said...

hello kak Ruby,

Yeah since you get to taste the samples of kuih tunjuk way before hand chances of the cookies tak sedap is ver minimal. :)

the atmosphere of baking with sisters is just lovely.

Selamat Hari Raya.

trueblue,
tak delah sedap sangat..ok, boleh tahan :)

Selamat Hari Raya!
kawai desu,

helloooo, welcome to my blog...:)

tukang letak kismis pun penting jugak tau :) The suasana buat kuih sendiri tu lain kan...especially bila buat tu ramai2...best!

Anyways, Selamat Hari Raya!

mama rock,

Selamat Hari Raya to mama rock and family! Tak sabarnye nak makan ketupat dgn rendang...yummy!
