Pastel

Pick only one? I bet you still want more. These snacks are requested by my little son. I think it´s a good idea to use the rest of Potato Pie filling.

Potato Pie

When I saw Shepherd´s Pie at Stevita´s Kitchen, I thougt my kids´d like it. I´d rather call that Potato Pie, it´s called "Pastel Tutup" in Indonesian. Whatever the name is, its taste so good. Instead of making homemade mashed potato, I´ve used Kartoffel Püree/mashed potato powder. My oldest son has told me that Pie becomes one of his favourite food. No wonder, nothing left for me!. Thank you Wita.

Brownies Kukus/Steamed Brownies

I´ve seen various steamed brownies recipes in my friend Blogs for example: Brownies ala Ny. Liem and Brownies ala Uceu. This is another version of steamed brownies. If you want, you can make only a half of receipt.

Pisang Mollen/Banana Puff Pastry

These are my lazy version of snacks. Easy to make with ready to use puff pastry. This time, I used "Pisang Tanduk" (Musa Paradisiaca)/Plantain as fillings. Pisang tanduk (horn banana), its length about 25-30 cm, is bigger in size and longer than common bananas. Friends of my son love this very much.

Ingredients :
1 pack (450 g) butter blätterteig or butter puff pastry
2 horn bananas, cut into 20 pieces
sugar as desired

Put only 1/2 teaspoon sugar (on the top of banana) for each banana pastry.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake the banana pastries approx. 30 minutes

Es Puter/Cocopandan Ice cream

I like Es Puter since I was a child. I used to buy the ice cream from travelling es puter vendor. Nowadays Es puter can be found during wedding party or traditional celebration feasts in Indonesian. Here, I have to make by myself because nobody sells that kind of ice cream.
