Corned Beef, Onion and Potatoes

I don't know if any of you remember Maggie and Jiggs from the comic strip Bringing up Father, if you don't, go have a look atWiki. I can understand Jiggs's love for Corned Beef and Cabbage cos my family too love Corned beef from the can. It is a must in our pantry as it is so versatile to cook with.

Ingredients:

1 can Corned beef

1 small onion - sliced

2 potatoes - peeled and diced

1/4 tsp pepper

Kuih Bakar

Kuih Bakar is also known to be called Kuih Kemboja and this malay kuih is like eating kaya(egg custard) in a slice, it is sweet but not as rich. It should be baked in a flower shaped mould which is made with bronze but unfortunately i do not own one, so i have to bake it in a 6 inch cast-iron skillet/pan. It tasted just as delicious only without the signature shape.



Ingredients:

3 large eggs

400 ml (1 can) coconut cream

50 ml water

1/2 tsp pandan paste

4 ozs all-purpose flour

4 ozs fine granulated sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Sesame seeds

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 f. and put in cast-iron pan for heating.
