late night baking...

So after I got home from my little exploration trip with Whitney "mom"asked if I wanted to help make honey cakes, which are the boys favorite snack

1. lay down newspaper on the floor and ignite the portable stove top
2. add mix, water, and instant yeast
3. mix with hands
4. take a small amount of dough and flatten it into a pancake in your greased up hands
5. spoon sugar, spice, nut mix into the center
6. fold up the sides around the sugar mix so that you have a round ball
7. add a small amount of oil to the frying pan
8. put 3 dough balls into the pan and flatten them with a spatula
9. flip over when brown and flatten again
10. when they are golden brown remove from heat
11. repeat the process until all the dough is gone

They were so good! it tasted like a combination of a pancake with syrup and a funnel cake... the outside was crispy and inside was melted sugar. I think I got a dew sugar burns on my hand while eating but it was worth it!

So as you can see there is a stove right behind where we are sitting, but I guess it is more fun to sit on the floor and make them and cook them too... I wasn't complaining

Yea Chun was camera shy, but I got a big smile from E Chun. Tonight was the most either one has talked me, perhaps a breakthrough? They were really excited to help make them. They liked playing with the dough and seeing how much sugar mix they could fit inside the dough ball haha My first dough ball... not bad eh?"mom" sitting on the floor frying up the honey cakes
the end result... so so so so good!
