Heart Shape Macarons by Jenny Yennee
Ingredients:
120g icing sugar
83g ground almonds
24g sugar
60g egg white
* pink food coloring
Method:
Sift icing sugar and ground almonds in a bowl- twice, set aside.
Beat egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer at medium speed, add sugar gradually to the egg white until glossy, fluffy, and hold soft peaks. Add in 1-2 drops pink food coloring, and mix well. Add ground almond mixture into the egg whites, and fold briefly, until batter falls like lava.
Spoon a small amount of batter into a plastic bag with a small corner cut off and pipe onto prepared baking sheet in heart shape, leaving space between the disks. Let the piped cookies stand out at room temperature until they form a hard skin on top, about 1/2 - 1hour.
Preheat oven to 150c, bake for about 15mins. When they are done, take the sheets out of the oven and let them cool on a rack. Once cooled to room temperature, your macarons are ready to be assembled.
* 5mins into baking, the feet of macaron should appear.
* preheat your oven between 140-160C , every oven behaves differently. My oven 150c is generally good for me.
* You will have to test your own oven and I prefer to stay close to it to watch over your macarons as they cook, especially for light-colored macarons (you don’t want them to brown)

2. Sift cocoa powder into a large bowl & add 4 tablespoons of boiling water and mix into a thick chocolate syrup, adding more water if you needed. Add the softened butter, sugar, self-raising flour, baking powder and eggs. Mix with electric mixer until smooth and evenly mixed.

Dorayaki by Jenny Yennee's Son :)
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
140 g (2/3 cup) sugar
2 Tbsp. honey
160 g (1 cup) plain flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1-2 Tbsp. water
2 Tbsp. oil
Method:
1. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and honey and whisk well until the mixture becomes fluffy.
2. Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl and mix all together. Keep in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes.
3. Stir in ½ Tbsp of water at a time to get the right consistency. It should be a little bit thicker than pancake batter. If the batter is too thin, pancakes will be too flat and not fluffy.
4. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Dip a paper towel in oil and coat the bottom of the pan with the oil. The pan should be slightly oiled but shouldn’t be visible. That’s the secret to get nice texture on the surface of dorayaki.
5. With a ladle, drop the batter from 6" (15 cm) above the pan to create 3" (8 cm) diameter pancakes. When you see the surface of the batter starting to bubble, flip over and cook the other side. Transfer to a plate and cover up with a damp towel to prevent from drying. Continue making pancakes.
* Make sandwich with nutella. Put more nutella in the center so the shape of dorayaki will be curved (middle part should be thicker).
