Baked Dog Poos (Oatmeal Dog Cookies)

Image
Made dog treats over the weekend. SIL asked why did I make dog poo. Then I realised the treats do look like dog poo. From someone who ate too much oats but failed to digest them :p I've been buying dog treats to reward Jack and Gypsy after their walks but I find them expensive. So I've decided to make them myself. Found the following recipe online. It's really easy to bake them: Ingredients   1 cup wholemeal flour or low protein flour 2 eggs 1 cup rolled oats Pre-heat the oven to 170 dgree C. Mix all the ingredients together and form a dough. Start shaping the dog treats (you can use a dog bone mold if you have one :)) Place the dog treats on a baking sheet. Send into oven and bake for 25 mins. Lower down the heat to 120 degree C and bake for another 20 mins. Let the cookies cool down and store them in air tight container. They can be kept for 1 - 2 weeks. Gave the treats to both of them and they love it! Jack gave up his escape plan just for the cookie.

Sweet Potato Steamed Bun / Pau 番薯包

I've attempted to make sweet potato steamed bun once, it turned out okay but not perfect. So for the second round I combine 2 recipes, 1 from a recipe book and another from the Internet. Managed to improve the texture of the bun and I am quite happy with the outcome. If you would like to give it a try, check out the recipe below :) By the way, I made the buns with bread maker's help. Sweet Potato Steamed Bun / Pau 番薯包 Dough   300g --- medium pro flour/ plain flour  3g ------ baking powder 150ml-- plain water  6g ------ instant yeast 30g ----- sugar  6g ------ vegetable oil  Filling  200g --- sweet potato (I used the orange sweet potatoes. You can use the expensive Japanese sweet potato and skip the sugar as I find them quite sweet)  30g ---- sugar  30g ---- unsalted butter  1. Steam the sweet potatoes until tender.  2. Prepare the dough while waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked. Pour the 150ml water into the bread pan. Sift fl
