Daring Cooks December 2011: Asian Style Spicy Filled Buns

Wonderful challenge which I was delighted to complete. My version was of course vegetarian, where I substituted the egg in the dough with an appropriate amount of buttermilk, and we loved the results. Not able to upload photos as am on the road. Am back at my desk and here are the photographs of this challenge. I did this challenge twice. The first time I used all purpose flour and the second a combination of all purpose and whole wheat flour. The second time the buns came out much better!!

Daring Bakers November 2011: Filipino Desserts

The November 2011 Daring Bakers Challenge had 2 wonderful recipes - the amazing Sans Rival Cake and the Biingka. Sadly, I could do neither in their original form as the number of eggs required were just too many. For the same reason, a modified version also became difficult:( to create. I really did not want to attempt messing around with such beautiful recipes. But I really wanted tomparticipate in this challenge. So, in the end, I chose to a completely different dessert, Filipino nevertheless, and equally delicious as the ones chosen above! Photographs and details on my return from vacation!!

Post Script: Catherine of Munchie Musings was our November 2011 Daring Bakers host and she challenged us to make a traditional Filipino dessert - the delicious Sans Rival Cake! And for those of us who wanted to try additional Filipino dessert, Catherine also gave us a bonus recipe for Bibingka which comes from her friend Jun of Jun-Blog.
