I love airy light Swiss rolls...yours looks absolutely gorgeous! Molasses sounds really yummy.
ReplyDeleteLooks soft & delicious :P
ReplyDeleteHi Happy Flour,
ReplyDeleteI like all your swiss roll! They are nicely rolled up and I like the thickness of spongy cake you've made! Good one! Really tempting to try it out myself. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Happy Flour, I nvr use molasses sugar b4, how is it taste like for the swiss roll? pai sei for being so suanku ya :P.
ReplyDeleteHi Jess @ Bakericious,
ReplyDeleteNo lah, you are not suanku. This is my first time to try Molasses sugar. I bought this out of curious(on the taste). The shop keeper claimed that this is an organic treated sugar and it's better than the usual sugar we used. For Me I find that this is just like the usual dark brown sugar which I used, nothing special.
The Swiss Roll took the brown from the sugar but not the taste of molasses.
Hi Kitchen Corner,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliment. :)
You also did a very nice and neat job on your recent Swiss roll. We must keep up and roll more, hehehe...
Hi Angie's Recipes and DG,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice words. :)
This swiss roll is really very soft.
Molasses sugar yeah, it's just dark brown sugar.
ReplyDeleteThe dark brown thing is molasses la.
There are some for sale at grocery shops in loose form that is even darker and richer in taste, my mom bought me those for confinement(to make pork trotters in black vinegar) because it is very nutritious.
YOu make me wanna make another swiss roll. How about maple sugar roll? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Wendyywy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your information.:)
I do some reading and here is what I understand. Molasses sugar(dark brown sugar) are made purely from sugar beet (Sugar beet is a plant whose root contains a high concentration of sucrose.) or certain amount of sugar crane was added in the making process. Molasses sugar is healthy and organic in such a way that no dyes or chemicals is added.
As what I know, we Chinese said that dark brown sugar is go in getting rid of wind and detoxify our body. This is why we use dark brown sugar instead of white sugar when we brew herbal tea.
Hi Honey boy,
ReplyDeleteMaple sugar roll will be a great idea. My boys loved any bakes, desserts or sweets which contain maple syrup.
hi,,sis,,could u help me,,for this recipes u used 3 white,4 yolk n for other recipes you used onli 3 eggs,,any diference hop u done mind to share,,i sincerely appreciate,,,thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteBoth recipes yield a soft roll. This recipe has a stronger egg smell and taste and the texture is firmer. You can try both and compare.
hi happy flour,
ReplyDeletei would like to know how do you roll up so perfect as mine always the skin will stick..
Please advice thanks
Hi Jun,
ReplyDeleteUse a greaseproof paper to guide you when rolling. After the first fold, don't hesitate quickly lift up the paper and roll. Then softly press the roll to tighten it.
