A butter-and-egg enriched dough is cut into small rectangles, brushed with melted butter, folded in half, and baked until soft and golden brown. Serve these dangerously moreish rolls warm - allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then wrap in a clean cloth to keep them warm. I did the variations by making them into soft dinner rolls and bow knot rolls.

Kegunaannya pun beraneka ragam, sesuai dengan kebutuhan kita sehari-hari di rumah, untuk saya pribadi plastik ini amat sangat membantu terutama di dapur. Karena ada perekat jenis tekannya, harga plastik Ziploc ini pun lebih mahal karena memudahkan cara penggunaannya mau pun membantu cara penyimpanan. Agar pemakaian plastik ini lebih lama dan tidak hanya sekali pakai, plastik dapat dicuci – hanya saja cara pengeringannya agak sedikit merepotkan. Berikut adalah cara mudah mengeringkannya, cara ini juga berlaku untuk jenis plastik biasa lainnya. Cara ini juga dapat membantu mengurangi perusakan lingkungan.

Made this cake for Cemara's afternoon snack when she comes back from school. I omitted the chocolate chips and sultanas ingredients and add more sugar. Since I was thinking of Cemara's snack when she was little 'Farley' which tastes like heaven I must say. Back years ago, I used to steal my nephew's Farley's biscuit and when Cemara started to eat Farley - I have to buy in double quantity since I also take them as a snack. This cake is so easy to make, no need to take out your mixer at all. Kids must like them, since Vania got the recipe from 'Babies and Toddlers Good Food' Book.

Jika hal ini terjadi pada taplak meja kesayangan kita, tentunya sangat disayangkan. Berikut adalah cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk menghilangkan noda lilin: Jika noda lilin cukup banyak dan tebal, contohnya dari jenis lilin panjang yang biasanya dinyalakan dan diletakan pada wadah lilin kesayangan Moms di rumah. Lelehan lilin biasanya mengeras dan menggumpal. Kain yang ternoda lilin yang menggumpal sebisa mungkin dikupas dan yang tertinggal adalah noda lilin yang berlapisan tipis. Kemudian panaskan setrika dengan suhu yang disesuaikan dengan jenis kain yang telah terkena noda lilin tadi. Lalu ambil beberapa helai kertas tisu yang biasa dipakai di dapur, jenisnya jauh lebih tebal dari jenis tisu biasa. Setelah itu setrika noda yang terlebih dahulu dilapisi tisu dapur bagian atasnya.

Nah, si panci kecil inilah yang kerap kali setelah digunakan beberapa kali akan timbul lapisan berwarna coklat yang lama kelamaan akan semakin tebal dan sulit dibersihkan dengan sabun mau pun cairan pembersih lainnya. Sedih sekali melihat si panci cukup mahal harganya itu berlapiskan kotoran dan ingin sekali panci tersebut selalu mengkilap.
