Airfry: Baked Pasta

I made this from leftovers, but this can easily be made from scratch. :) 

Ingredients

Pre-boiled Pasta of choice (enough for what can fit your baking tray) :) 

Bolognese sauce

Parmesan cheese

Aluminum foil to line baking tray

Steps:

1. Pre-heat air-fryer for 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Assemble all ingredients in a lined baking tray. I did (from bottom to top) sauce, pasta, cheese, sauce, pasta, sauce, pasta, sauce cheese. :) 
3. Bake for 10min

Enjoy while warm.

Airfry: Milo Bread-Tiramisu

I had half a loaf of bread expiring so I decided to try out this Milo Bread-Tiramisu. 

Original Recipe here.

Ingredients:

Part A:

• 200ml of milk
• 2 eggs
• 40g of sugar
• 30g of Milo powder

Part B:

• 5-6 slices of bread

Steps:

1. Pre-heat air-fryer at 180 degrees Celsius.
2. In a bowl, mix together the milk and eggs. 
3. Add in sugar and Milo powder. Stir well.
4. Cut all 4 sides of the bread to remove the crust. Then, cut the bread in half. (I cut some into small quarters as they will then lay nicely at the side of the round baking tray.)
5. Place a layer of bread into your baking tray.
6. Pour half the Part A mixture THROUGH A SIEVE over the bread layer. The sieve helps to remove lumpy eggs/Milo or bubbles. (Make sure the mixture doesn’t overflow the bread. It should allow bread to soak up the mixture just about nicely.)
7. Repeat step 5 & 6 this for another layer. It is ok that the final mixture does not cover everything. It is not meant to fill up the baking tray and flood over the bread. :) 
8. Bake for 20mins, 180 degrees Celsius.
9. Once done, take out and cool. 
10. Sprinkle Milo power on top just before serving. :) 

I suggest you cut and serve direct from baking tray as below is soft and mushy - like in actual Tiramisu.

ENJOY! :) 

Airfry: Apple (Pie) Pizza

This is an improvised Apple Pie using Plain Pizza Crust and baked in #Mayer Air-fryer.

Original Recipe here.

Ingredients:

Part A

• 3 apples thinly sliced or diced (Green taste better & richer than red due to more citrus nature)
• 2 tablespoons flour (original recipe calls for all purpose flour but I only have self raising so I used that)
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt (to prevent browning of apples) / alternatively use lemon juice of 1/2 lemon
• 3 tablespoon sugar (original recipe calls for brown sugar, but I only have white regular sugar so I used that)
• (Optional) Cinnamon powder - I skipped this as I didn't have this.

Part B

1 Pizza crust

Butter (in small cubes)

Baking paper

Steps:

1. Preheat Air-fryer at 180 degrees Celsius.

9. Take out and enjoy! :) 

Airfry : Banana Muffins

It's been a while since I updated this blog but I have been experimenting with my Air-fryer!! One of the easiest bakes I've tried is the Banana Muffin! The original recipe is from here. (I like this site as I can change the quantity I wish to make and the recipe re-calculates how much ingredients I need!)

For this bake, I tweak the recipe according to what I have. I'm a very lazy baker and I don't bake very often, so I try to find recipes with what I ready have at home and estimate the amounts based on what I have.

My version of Banana muffin:

Ingredients: (makes about 12 regular muffins or 9 regular and 7 mini muffins) --> I ran out of the regular muffin cup.... 

1 Egg (I didn't weigh the egg...)

125 g Self Raising Flour (Sifted)

40 gm salted butter, melted (1 used 4 pieces of breakfast butter spreads, each 10 gm since I get them from ordering breakfast at KFC...something like this one) I like it this way so I don't have to buy a huge chunk of butter to only use once in a blue moon...

2 very ripe large Bananas (use your judgement and experiment with this. If you feel yours is not "large", you can add more. The muffin will just be more dense and more banana-flavor.)

Recipe calls for 100 gm white sugar (I used packet sugar which you use to make coffee/tea. Each packet is 5 gm and I only use 10 packets as I didn't want to risk my cake being too sweet. You can adjust to your taste.)

(I skipped the salt, baking soda and baking powder in the original recipe.)




Method:
Air-fryer: Pre-heat at 160 degrees Celsius

1. Mash Bananas using fork.
2. Mix in egg, melted butter, sugar (heat from butter and the stirring should melt and incorporate the sugar)
3. Stir in flour in batches (to avoid mess of flour flying into your face!). I just used the fork to stir. Didn't want to wash extra utensils. :) 
4. You should end up with some what mushy but even cake mix.
5. Scoop using teaspoon into your muffin cups (fill to half way or 3/4 way). Muffin will rise when baking so don't over fill!
6. Put into Air-fryer and bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 15-min. :) 
7. Stick a toothpick down the center and it should come out clean if the muffin is done.
8. Allow muffins to cool before storing or enjoy them warm with a cup of tea!

(If you are keeping them overnight, you can keep them in containers at room temperature for not more than 24-hrs, since we didn't put preservatives. Or store them in refrigerator up to maximum 3 days. Heat in microwave for about 10 seconds to before eating to enjoy them warm and soft.)

Airfry: 3 ingredient NUTELLA Brownie

 Original recipe here.

Bake Time: 25min

Temp: 180 degrees Celsius

Here's my attempt at the 3 ingredient Nutella Brownie. Original recipe in the link above, but I adjusted the amounts based on what I have at home.

My Ingredient List:

Nutella (I only have about 300g left so I emptied it.)

Self raising flour: about 50g

2 Eggs (medium size)

Salt (1 pack of Macdonald's breakfast salt)

1 Macdonald's breakfast butter (for greasing base and side of baking pan)

Baking paper - for lining base (for easier removal of brownie later)

Preparation:

Place baking tray on baking paper & Trace. Cut accordingly and line base of tray with the cut-out.

Steps:

1. Preheat Airfyer at 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Grease base of baking tray lined with baking paper. (and side of tray)
3. Mix Nutella, eggs, self-raising flour, salt until no lumps.
4. Pour mixture into greased baking tray.
5. Bake for 25mins at 180 degrees Celsius.

Best enjoyed while slightly warm with Ice-Cream! :) 

For storing : Wrap in aluminum foil and keep in fridge after completely cooled. Warm in microwave for 10 seconds to warm brownie for best effect. :) 

Airfry: Honey Cornflakes Cup

Thanks to the encouragement of my friend and sharing recipe that requires easy to get ingredients that I don't have to waste after a baking session. :) 

Ingredients:

About 150gm (Half box of 275gm pack) Cornflakes, lightly crushed in ziplock so it is easier to scoop later) - my kids can eat the balance for breakfast

About 2 tablespoon of Honey - I can use to make honey drink and tea with balance

6 pieces of (Macdonald's) Melted Butter - I improvise by using Macdonald's butter when I order pancakes.

(for topping) Rainbow Sprinkles (the only item I bought specially for this bake).

Steps:

1. Pre-heat Airfryer 150 - 160 degrees Celsius.
2. In a pot (use a bigger one so it can hold cornflakes later in step 3), and very low heat, melt butter and mix honey. Remove from heat once butter is melted. (This steps is really short so keep an eye on the pot!)
3. Pour cornflakes in and mix well.
4. Scoop mixture into mini cupcake paper. (Easier to use teaspoon.)
5. Top with rainbow sprinkles.
6. Airfry at 150 degrees Celsius for 10min to set the cornflakes.
7. Cool & Store in airtight container.

Enjoy & Share with friends! :) 

Airfry: Prawn Paste Chicken (Pre-marinated & Frozen)

Pre-marinated & Frozen Prawn Paste chicken bought from Qoo10

Bake time: 20min (Flip at 10min)

Bake temp: 200 degrees.

Steps:

1. Defrost pre-marinated frozen chicken.
2. Line baking tray with baking paper (Preferred as paste will stick)

6. Bake for another 10min - 15min to ensure chicken is fully cooked.

Instructions:

1) preheat air fryer 180oC for 5min
