Ultra-soft and delicious with an intense purple-yam flavor and melty cheese filling, they’re great for breakfast or anytime snack. Ingredients 3 cups bread flour 1 cup plain flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast ¼ cup ube powder 2 eggs 1 can 410g lukewarm evaporated milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tbsp concentrated ube flavoring cheddar cheese for filling ube halaya for filling 1/2 cup bread crumbs for coating Preparation In a mixing bowl, combine the plain and bread flour. Add the oil, eggs, sugar, warm milk, purple yam, ube flavoring, yeast and salt. With a wooden spoon,or whisk, stir well after each addition until the dough forms a shaggy mass.

Lightly grease a kneading board with the oil, and turn the dough out. Lightly grease hands with oil and knead the dough, pushing the dough down and away from your body using the heels of your palms, until it's smooth and elastic but still somewhat tacky. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until double in size. Gently deflate the risen dough and form into a log. Cut the log vertically in half and then cut each half into smaller portions. Using the palm of hands, flatten each dough portion and place a piece of cheese or ube halaya filling in the center. Fold the dough around the cheese and form it into a smooth ball, tucking the ends under to seal. Roll the dough in bread crumbs and arrange in a single layer at about 1/2 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Follow this easy recipe to make your own leche flan at home. < Back Leche Flan Prep Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 50-60 mins Serves: 8-10 Level: Beginner About the Recipe Leche flan, also known as crème caramel, is a popular dessert in the Philippines and other parts of the world. It is a rich and creamy custard made with condensed milk, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and a caramel sauce. Leche flan is typically served chilled and is a deliciously sweet ending to any meal. The origin of leche flan is not entirely clear, as variations of the dessert exist in different parts of the world. However, it is believed to have been introduced to the Philippines during the Spanish colonization period. The name "leche flan" itself is derived from the Spanish word for milk (leche) and the French term for custard (flan). Over time, the recipe for leche flan has evolved in the Philippines to include local ingredients such as condensed milk and coconut milk. Today, leche flan is a popular and beloved dessert in the Philippines and is enjoyed by people all over the world. Ingredients 1 can (14 oz) condensed milk 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk 10 egg yolks 1 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup water Preparation Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the sugar mixture, without stirring, until it turns a deep amber color, about 10-15 minutes. Pour the caramelized sugar into a 9-inch round cake pan, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Pour the milk and egg mixture into the pan over the caramel. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking dish. Add enough hot water to the larger baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake the leche flan for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Chill the leche flan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the flan. Place a large plate over the top of the pan and invert it to release the flan. Serve cold and enjoy!

Here are some tips for making the best crab cakes: Use fresh, high-quality crabmeat: This is the most important ingredient in the dish, so it's worth investing in a good quality product. Look for lump or jumbo lump crabmeat for the best texture and flavor. Be gentle when mixing: Over-mixing the crabmeat mixture can result in tough, dry crab cakes. Use a gentle hand when combining the ingredients and stop as soon as everything is evenly incorporated. Chill the mixture: Chilling the mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping and cooking will help the crab cakes hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart during cooking. Don't overcook: Crab cakes should be cooked until golden brown and crispy on the outside and warm and moist on the inside. Be careful not to overcook them, or they can become dry and rubbery. Serve with a sauce: Crab cakes are often served with a flavorful sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or aioli. These sauces complement the delicate crabmeat flavor and add another layer of flavor to the dish. Experiment with flavors: While traditional crab cakes are delicious, don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations. Consider adding herbs, spices, or other ingredients such as bacon, corn, or peppers to create a unique and delicious dish.

The steak is seasoned with salt and pepper and seared in a hot pan or on a grill to form a crispy exterior and a juicy, tender interior.

Therefore, cooking a steak is considered an intermediate to advanced cooking skill. However, with practice and following a few simple tips, anyone can cook a delicious steak at home. It's important to choose a quality cut of meat, season it properly, and cook it to the desired level of doneness. Additionally, using a meat thermometer can be helpful to ensure the steak is cooked to your liking. So while cooking steak may require a bit of skill and experience, it's definitely doable with practice and patience. Ingredients 1 pound of beef steak (sirloin, ribeye, or filet mignon) Salt Black pepper butter Preparation Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill over high heat. Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Add the butter to the skillet or grill and let it melt. Add the steak to the skillet or grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the desired level of doneness is achieved.

Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad. Note: cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and personal preference for the level of doneness.
