How to Make MILO Bagels

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 40min
Number of servings: 2

Ingredients:
180g (6.4oz.) bread flour
50g (1.8oz.) Nestle MILO
1/2 tsp. dry yeast
1/4 tsp. salt
120ml warm water

Directions:
1. Place bread flour, MILO, dry yeast in a large bowl. Add warm water (38C-40C=100F-104F) and roughly mix the ingredients. Then add salt and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is uniform and smooth. (You can knead the dough on the counter. Salt controls the rising, so it is better added later. If your dough is too soft, add little more flour. But it is better soft than stiff to get them incorporated. Adding water later won't mix well…)
2. Divide the dough into 2 portions and shape into balls. Wrap each in plastic wrap and let rest for 5 minutes. (Meanwhile, you can wash dishes.)
3. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape. Fold bottom up twice, leaving one side open. Wrap around the other side with the open side to form a doughnut shape, sealing the ends securely.
4. Wrap in plastic wrap again and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 428F (220C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil
5. Add 1 tbsp. of honey in a boiling water (it gives the bagels a nice shine). Cook for about 1 minute on each side until the bagels have a shriveled look. Then immediately remove to the baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and bake at 428F (220C) for 15 minutes.

Wrap bagels in aluminum foil to keep them moist. They stay soft and chewy till the next day!

Tsubu-an (sweet Azuki red bean paste with skins) goes great with MILO bagels :D

She gave me MILO and asked me to make some MILO recipes, so I decided to make this tutorial.

How to Make MILO Banana Muffins

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 45min (15min preparation, 25-30min cooking)
Number of servings: 8 (5cm/2inch) muffin cups

Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) unsalted butter *softened to room temperature
100g (3.5oz.) sugar
2 eggs *room temperature
150ml milk *room temperature
A
* 200g (7oz.) cake flour
* 60g (2.1oz.) Nestle MILO
* 2 tsp. baking powder
2 bananas (400g=1lb. with skin)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Slice the banana into 8 half-inch-thick rounds. Mash remaining bananas with a fork.
2. Cream the butter in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Add sugar and eggs, and mix well.
3. Sift in half of the dry ingredients (A) and mix well. Add milk and mix well. Then add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until completely blended. *Butter and milk will separate if you add the milk right after the eggs. OR when the ingredients are too cold. To incorporate them well, add half of the dry ingredients first.
4. Then add the mashed banana and mix well. Spoon the mixture into muffin cups up to 80% full (you can use a pastry bag to pipe the mixture into cups). Place a slice of banana on each muffin. Bake at 180C (350F) for 25-30 minutes.
5. Place them on a wire rack to cool.

How to Make Dango (Japanese Sweet Dumplings)


Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 20min
Number of servings: 4 (12 Dango)

Ingredients:
((Dango))
100g (3.5oz.) Shiratamako (lumpy glutinous rice flour)
150g (5.3oz.) Kinugoshi-dofu (silken Tofu)
1 tsp. sugar
((Mitarashi Sauce - sweet and savory soy sauce))
50ml water
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tbsp. Katakuriko (potato starch)
((Anko - red bean paste))
Tsubu-an (sweet Azuki red bean paste with skins)

Directions:
((Dango))
1. Put Shiratamako, sugar and lightly drained Kinugoshi-dofu in a bowl and knead the dough with your hand until smooth. Adjust the texture by adding more Shiratamako or water until the dough turns as soft as your earlobe.
2. Divide the dough into 12 small pieces and roll into small balls.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the Dango in the boiling water. After a few minutes, Dango will float to the surface. Boil for another 1-2 minutes. Then remove from the boiling water and transfer into cold water. After a minute, drain well.
4. Put 3 Dango on bamboo skewers. Pan fry the Dango on a teflon pan (or a lightly oiled pan) until sides are nice and brown.
((Mitarashi Sauce - sweet and savory sauce))
1. Put all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Put on low heat, stir constantly, and cook until sauce thickens.
2. Place Dango on a plate and coat with the sauce.
((Anko - red bean paste))
1. Put Anko on top of Dango if you like.

Best eaten while they are still warm :)
