Lidah Kucing Recipe - "Cat's Tongue" Butter Cookies


I have a KitchenAid mixer again. Yaaay! After contemplating for a long time on whether to get another KitchenAid mixer like the one I had in Canada, I finally caved in and bought one. There were only three types of KitchenAid stand mixer available in Indonesia, one of which had been out of stock for a while. That didn't leave me a lot of option. An Artisan type, or a Heavy Duty type. After consulting with my friend who is an expert in food and beverage field, I decided to go with the Heavy Duty one. Okay, I have to admit that I didn't need much convincing. :P So the model that I went with was 5KPM50E, which came with two bowls, a splatter guard, three attachments, and two lids for the bowl.

So it arrived this past Wednesday and Miss Kiki was quite excited about the large box and decided that she wanted to pose as a sales girl for the new object. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to try it until today, and I had to make something that I already have the ingredients for.

These butter cookies are commonly called Lidah Kucing in Indonesia, literally translated as Cat's Tongue. I'm not sure what the history behind the name is, but I think it's because of the shape. It was my first time making them today and I think it's a pretty successful one. Miss Kiki, The Hubby, and (my) Baby Sister liked it. So.... here's the recipe...

What You Need:
  • 250 gr butter/margarine
  • 150 gr icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 gr all purpose flour
  • 5 egg whites
The How To:
  • Beat butter/margarine with icing sugar and vanilla until soft and fluffy.
  • Stir in the flour.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff
  • Fold in the egg whites into the butter mixture
  • Scoop mixture into a plastic bag (ziploc works well) and cut out one of the corners.
  • Squeeze out onto a buttered cookie sheet in a 2.5" long stick shape, leaving space in between. They MELT!
  • Bake at 160 celcius for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your sticks. Bake till golden brown and crunchy.
Miss Kiki and I had a lot of fun making these today, I had her scooped some flour, cracked an egg, and watch the mixer spinning really fast. She was so excited telling The Hubby about what she did. "I put pink shoes on, and went in the kitchen to make cookies. We used biiiig spoon of flour, sugar, and it turned really fast!" LOL

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!šŸ˜Š Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung.  We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...
