Buttermilk Pancake @ Martha Stewart

 My little hero loves this...mm, missed you dear...

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour 
2 teaspoons baking powder 
1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 
3 tablespoons sugar 
2 large eggs, lightly beaten 
3 cups buttermilk 
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle

Method:  
Heat griddle to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.

Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter or reserved bacon fat onto griddle. Wipe off excess.

Using a 4-ounce ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter, in pools 2 inches away from one other. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.

Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on a heatproof plate in oven. Serve warm.

Nasi Dagang Gulai Ikan Tongkol

Nasi dagang, yes, you can have it at anytime if you are in Terengganu or Kelantan. But having to have it here, is awesome. When the winter is about to leave, the weather is Masyaallah. 

Apart from the basic combination of rice and fish curry, Nasi Dagang usually comes with its different components which can be combined to suit the diner’s taste. From a simple serving of the steamed rice and mackerel curry usually found at roadside stalls, the complete home-made version may include a sliced hard-boiled egg, fried coconut, vegetable pickle and sambal.

Here is my version of nasi dagang with acar rampai, hard-boiled egg and sambal cili and last but not least, the Gulai Ikan Tongkol:). I know the image was snapped from my tab@instagram folders and blur bagai:P, but still I heart the eating part, heheheheh.

MUB Program by Muslimat IKRAM Dungun

Bismillah

Assalamualaykumwbh all.

I know, it is me again who failed to find time to blog. Huhuhuhu....
I find it difficult to manage 3 blogs all up to date, with additional of twitter, instagram, 2 personal emails, office things, home and everything in between...ouch...you better tell me to stop..:P

Nevertheless....
A part of me still, everyday shouting at my ears to say hi. 
Hence, here goes,......
 
I am sharing some of the photos from last school break program for MUB-Meniti Usia Remaja. This program lead by Jemaah Wanita/Muslimat IKRAM cawangan Terengganu. So I was there to snap these from distance, 4 batuuu tew;). Tq to Miss Lense. Ya ya yaaaa, you were such a big help. I was the one who failed the flashes, the zooming part plus with the low-bat thing...kikikiki. 
Yup, I am still learning for event's images, which is not my type of interest in photos. But sometimes, it is good for others if we get involve right? And I don't do this to impress people. Because my photos are freakinglishly funny & stereotype. I think they can be forgiven, as a part of my new hobbies....did I said hobbies??? Gosh...so many hobbies? I should have master one out of many at least...hahahahaha....

 see....the little man, red shirt on, in-front of everyone else,

does he looks familiar to you?:P

Wise man says,
When people are IMPRESSED with you...they are actually IMPRESSED with the beauty of ALLAH SWT covering your sins and weaknesses. I said this, the same thing to my team. Hopefully this triggered something to them that, no one is perfect, but Allah does, the only ONE. So guys, take the challenge ya! You can develop them, just work for it, pray and leave the rest & everything else to Allah swt. He will take care us, the best!

And, to IKRAM sisters here are the images....
Maap ye, the "photog" just got her new toy.
So tersgtlah jakungan tahap alien, ha ha ha!
Trust me, she got herself thrilled & confused with so many buttons too on Miss Lense.

U can visit her at digitalmuslimah:)

JazakaAllahukhayr....
