Yam Wheels

 

yes, it's Yam Shortbread Pinwheels

the past SHF/IMBB Cookie Swap, there's this entry by Do You Know The Muffin Man. He did this Peppermint Pinwheels.. which were really cute. actually i voted him for the cookie swap thingy. and he's one of the 12 winners too!!

ha. i dint do Peppermint, but instead i tried with Yam

here's the original Recipe

here's my version

1 cup butter
2/3 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup rice flour all purpose flour (i dont know whats rice flour)
1 tsp yam essence
1/2 tsp food colouring

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in vanilla and flours.
  • Divide into two equal parts. Then one of the part, divide half
  • Add yam extract and food colouring to one. Mix well, until dough turns to the desired colour. 
  • On a sheet of wax paper, roll out coloured portion to 12 × 14 inches (30 × 35 cm). Repeat with white dough.
  • Invert white layer over the colour layer. Remove top layer of wax paper.
  • Roll from short end with edges remaining even. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours.
  • Slice 1/3-inch (8 mm) thick and place 2 inches (5 cm) apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 15-17 minutes. Cool on rack.

    Surpriseeh!! mickey mouse!?!?

    !!! Surprise sushi roll !?!??!?!

    the first time i cut it apart, it's not really chilled yet.. so i put into the fridge again

    cut cut cut cut...

    after bakin in the oven for about 15 -17 minutes..

    Yam Shortbread Pinwheels. i think it's too thick.. so maybe next time i will roll thinner... tsk

    Vanilla Shortbread Pinwheels. i think if this was green tea flavoured then it would be nice.. tsk tsk

     

    so.. i guess this would be one of the cookies for Chinese New Year !! yahoooo

    but, the yam flavouring wasnt strong enough. next time i should add more. it smelled good before baking, but after that, it became a normal butter shortbread.. heheh

    and.. need to roll the mixture thinner.. so that it swirls more.. :P
