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!😊 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...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
