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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
