Eversince my glucose test came out borderline normal, haha... I have been craving for sweets. And, for today's treat, I wanted my lola's egg white cookies or what we mere mortals call lengua de gato.
So, I tried... I didn't want to use B's christmas gift to me which was an electric mixer as we have to dig it out from our storeroom. I creamed butter and sugar with my own hands (ey, of course with a spoon). But, no matter how hard I beat, the sugar won't melt. My sister said, maybe that's ok, maybe you're not suppose to wait for it to melt. I heeded. And, then added the other ingredients.
After mixing them up, I tried out a batch. %$@#*&?! --- it was too sweet and the sugar which was supposed to melt was still sugar. Darn! I hated it.
Hmmm, I am a woman who just won't give up without a fight. I asked Ate A to help me dig out the mixer and used it. I tried another batch. %$@#*&?! --- now it became a soft cookie or should I say bread!
Oh well, my patience is only up to some level. I threw the disgusting mixture and vowed to use the mixer soon and charm pre to buy me my coveted oven coz you see there's this other factor --- I baked it using an oven toaster! And, it just heats up too fast. (To my defense, I used it twice to baked banana cake and that turned out great!)
I have some serious emailing to do to my lola and asked how it is properly done.
Wahhh, I want my lengua de gato!
