Recipe • Florentine Mixed Nuts Crisps

Hi there! If you already know, I love making Chinese New Year (CNY) snacks and goodies but only the easy ones. Until I have more time (read: the kids are older), I will not attempt time consuming goodies like pineapple tarts and sort.
These Florentine Mixed Nuts Crisps have been in my CNY to-do list for at least 4 years! However, it somehow got pushed down the list while I did other easy goodies like crispy seaweed-codfish & cranberries cornflakes cookies (≧∇≦), until my dear friend gift me a tub of her homemade flavorful nutty crisps last year, that I remind myself to make some this year!
Thinner version
I like my florentine crisps thin and filled with toasted nutty fragrance!
You may increase the amount of florentine powder in this recipe if you prefer thicker texture.

50g Pumpkin seeds
60g Dried Cranberries

Method:

•Pour all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well.


•Line baking tray with baking paper and pour in the well-mixed ingredients. Using a spoon/spatula, spread the mixture evenly.

•Bake at 180degC for about 8 minutes in a preheated oven.
❇ Oven temperature may vary, keep a lookout at the last couple of minutes as the crisp browns quickly.
•Remove tray from oven, slice florentine crisp while still hot and soft.

•Leave to cool and harden, break along the cut lines and store in airtight container.
Updated January 2019:
Additional white sesame seeds,
just sprinkle sparingly before putting baking tray into the oven.


So easy, isn't it? Enjoy these nutty munchies!

      Hi, Keat Kee! The baking tray I used was about 33cm by 26cm. It's also a table top oven.
      Cheers,

Recipe • The Very Versatile Anchovy Soup Stock!

Image
I cook chinese style vegetable soup pretty often. It's a good way to increase the kids' vegetables intake and convenient for days when I only whip up a soup and meat dish. Most importantly, the boys love drinking their soup when it's cooked with this stock! This stock is suitable for many types of Chinese soup, example: Chinese Spinach meatballs/fishballs soup Wolfberry Leaves egg drop soup Yong Tau Foo soup Cabbage soup Shrimp-Pork dumplings soup Winter Melon soup & Cai Xin or Xiao Bai Cai soup too! I often get queries on what is the soup base when I post photos of such soup, so I think it's high time I give this delicious and versatile soup base its own space in this blog! Also, I hope my own kids will get to follow this recipe here and cook their favorite "mummy's soup" in future and be able to reminisce the taste of their childhood!
