20 years from now.

'Mom! Is that char siu? Can I have some char siu??'
'Mom!! I'm hungry. Can I have some char siu with noodles?'
'Mom! Later can we buy some doughnuts? I want to eat doughnuts.'
Mom leaves the computer to prepare food for the pesky kid. Boils water to cook pasta. While waiting for the water to boil, she starts measuring ingredients for the doughnut batter.
Chucks spaghetti into the boiling water. Melts butter and mixes it with milk and egg. Sifts the flour, baking powder and custard flour 3 times. Turns on the oven to preheat.
Lights up the stove. Throws siew yoke into hot pan. Sautes with some sugar and garlic. Sploshes in some soya sauce. Transfers spaghetti from pot to pan. A quick stirfry and lunch is done.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a fork for the doughnut batter. Spoon batter 1/2 full into doughnut pan. Bonk pan into oven and bake for 8 minutes. Wash up while waiting. Remove, place on wire rack and dust with cinnamon-laced icing sugar.
Boy, remember this 20 years from now when I need you to take me to the bank/hospital/so-and-so's house. And no backtalk from you, y'hear?
Mini Doughnuts
80 g Plain flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbsp custard flour
50 g sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
75 ml. fresh milk
1 large egg
30 g melted butter
Sift dry ingredients 3 times.
Mix the wet ingredients, then add sugar and salt and stir until sugar dissolves.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and quickly and lightly mix to bind everything together. Do not overmix. Fill doughnut tray 1/2 full and bake at 190C for 8 minutes.

i did about the same thing as your noodles y'day!! simple and easy...and lazy. :-) but i used lobak and some fishballs instead. add char siew sauce and kow-tim. :-))
So funny! I can almost picture how it happened! :-)
20 years from now, this Mom will still love & pamper her boy just as much... if not more. :D
Aiyo...boy will remember wan lar :P Coming from one himself ;)
What a great blog you have! I can identify with this post ;) I am tempted to try the doughnuts, if only I have a doughnut pan.
marsha:
You just reminded me of some sauces I still have in the fridge. Can use to fry noodles, hor?
LL:
Yeah, Lumpy is just too adorable for words.. -_-
jem:
You could be right. But by then, he'll have his wife to 'mother' him! :D
unka:
That's why you're still not married hor? No one can match up to your mom leh.. ;)
LitTeoC:
Hi! Welcome! All mothers can identify with this post, eh? Get a doughnut pan, they're fun! Good for making mini cakes like kuih bahulu and madeleines as well. Somehow mini cakes with holes look more appetising than regular cakes cut into small pieces..^_^

Brilliant!! Char Siu Spagetthi. So easy and I can imagine it tastes so good!!!
Lucky .... boy! :-)
hey how come the doughnut recipe doesn't require the yeast geh?
20 years is a long way to go... he will have to dig deep into the achieve :P
Zurin: I don't think free form is possible as the batter is not that thick. But this is nothing like fried donuts. It's more like a muffin. I just find little cakes with holes in them more adorable.. :D
Ellie: Char siu is not unlike bacon.. tastes good all the time with almost everything! :)
Jules: So is your girl.. :)
Amah: This one is more like muffin. Only look like donut nia.. :D
Zewt: Mother and son where got count wan.. ;) I only hope occasionally he will have fond memories of some of the things his mother used to do for him. :)

I also remember my favourite tastes of the childhood. You have shared some great ideas.
