     ~9-10 small ball.

2.  Lightly brush each meatball with oil and air fried them in the air fryer for

     15 minutes in 200 degree celcius or until the meatball turn into golden

“Air Fried Meat Spring Roll 炸肉卷“

相同与炸云吞，它没有汽泡在薄饼皮上，虽然还很香脆（因为薄饼皮很薄），对我来讲，因为我怕油，所以我还满意这种炸法，但是我老公（爱吃煎炸的人）并不满意这炸肉卷。

Same as fried wantan, it does not have a lot of bubble on the surface of the dumpling skin(popiah skin). Although it is still very crispy as the dumpling skin are very thin compare to wantan skin, but my hubby( a person who like fried food) does not satified with it. However, I'm still satisfied with it because I don't like oilly food. This way of frying suit me.

"Air Fried Wantan 炸云吞“

用air fryer 炸的云吞并不怎么满意。它没油炸般地香脆，外皮比较硬，没有油炸般的汽泡，所以不好吃。我老公说它失败。

Shey-Nell turning 6 years old now. She is study at K2 kindergarden and going to enter primary school next year. I'm trying to make her have a memorable birthday during her kindergarden. Therefore, I decided to make her a special cake to celebrate at school. This fondant cake spent me quite some times to complete it. I prepare the Nagry bird doll a weekend earlier before the the cake making day. This is my first time playing with fondant cake. My backup plan is to make a chocolate cake for her in case I failed. Who know the result still satifying.

3。 1/2杯 葡萄糖浆 liquid glucose

4.      2大匙 白油 shortening 

5。  1大匙  glycerine

6。 少许香精（vanila/almond/etc) optional

翻糖制做法：

1。将gelatin 加入水，搅均，泡水5分钟,再将它隔水煮溶。

2。加入葡萄糖浆搅拌至糖浆溶解。

3。加入白油搅拌至溶解后离火。

       糖团中，继续搓揉至不沾手为此。

Fondant Material: ( The recipie is from Sarah Lim 's Fondant Cakes book)

1.   5 tsp gelatin powder

2.   1/4 cup water

3.   1/2 cip liquid glucose

4.   2 tbsp shorthening

5.   1 tbsp glycerine

6.   abit liquid flavoring ( vanila/almond/etc) optional

7.   900g icing sugar

Fondant Making Method:

1.    Stir the gelatin into the water and left it to rest for 5 minutes, then stir it

       double boiling  water until it is fully disolved in the water.

2.    Mix in glucose liquid and stir it until it is disolved in the mixture.

3.    Add in shortening until it is disolved then remove the mixture from the

       stove.

4.   Stir in the glycerine and flavoring( if any) and leave it to cold.

5.   Mix in half of the icing sugar into the liquid mixture and stir well.

6.   Pour the rest of the icing sugar on the table top and pour in above liquid

      mixture, then knead the miture until a dough is formed. Continue knead 

      it till the dough does not stick to the hand.

7.  Wrap the fondant dough in the wraping plastic and keep it into the

     air- tight container and ready to used.

Note:  Preferable to use the colouring powder ratehr than liquid as liquid  

            colouring tend to make the fondant more sticky and hard to knead into

            shape.

           For the cake for fondant cake, recomended to choose those texture are

           more firm to avoid the cake sink. I'm using chocolate butter cake for

           this cake making.
