HOMECLASS - PASTRY BASKET

Pastry Basket

Salam once again, dear friends!

You know, with Ramadhan just around the corner, its

 time for everyone of the muslim faith to ready themselves for the

holy month. As with the usitas meditor quod locus mos 

(usual practice and local custom), here in Malaysia and everywhere

else in the muslim world, preparations for the Id are made

even before the arrival of Ramadhan!

Here in Malaysia, the giving of edible gifts to family 

and friends (including non-muslims) is common as grass.

So Chef Baini came up with an idea of making an edible container,

the pastry basket, to case the presents!

Suhaila

 

It's not rocket science, just good old-fashioned baking

of pastry strips that are woven to form a basket.

The pictures below illustrate just how easy it is done...

Here are pictures of Chef Baini showing her students 

just how it's done...

Then the students have their go at it, 

while Chef Baini oversees them...

Wait! 

The pastry basket class came with a surprise bonus!

Chef Baini also taught  

strawberry and orange tart cookies 

to fill the basket!

Did you actually think for a minute that Chef Baini

was going to teach her students how to make 

just an empty pastry basket?

Of course not!

Chef Baini hopes that you had fun reading

today's blog, as much as she had fun teaching today's class!

That's all for today, friends!

Thanks for dropping in!

Love, Chef Baini.
