Nanaimo Bars Nanaimo Bars
I heard about this from a Canadian and thought the name was interesting, so I searched for a recipe and tried making it.I used about 200 ml for 1 cup. I also substituted the heavy cream for milk. Here, used a powdered mix to make my custard cream, and it turned out great. Recipe by miow miow rabbit cookpad.japan -
Nanaimo Bars (Canada's other favourite dessert!) Nanaimo Bars (Canada's other favourite dessert!)
Nanaimo bars come from the town of Nanaimo, on Victoria Island, off the coast from Vancouver. They're very popular in the west coast of the country, whereas people on the East coast tend to prefer Butter tarts (see my profile for a recipe for those 😉)I hope people from all of the east coasts of the world can enjoy this delicious dessert!If you want thicker Nanaimo bars, you can double the recipe, but use the same size pan.Also, I mention using a double boiler in this recipe. If you don't have a double boiler you can just place a metal or ceramic bowl on top of a pot of simmering water (what I did). The reason for using this method, is to prevent the chocolate from burning, as direct heat (or even using a microwave) will not melt the chocolate properly, but using the steam from the simmering water will provide a very even lower intensity heat.

Rich Kinako Cupcakes Rich Kinako Cupcakes
I love kinako powder and I wanted to make dense cupcakes, which keep well. I changed the photos and made additions, but the ingredients and quantities are the same.The baking time is an estimate. Adjust to your oven at home. Add raisins and it will taste nice. Dust the raisins with a little of the sifted ◎ ingredients and add to the batter at Step 4 (when you add the dry ingredients in batches. Maybe add the dusted raisins after the second batch of the dry ingredients). Use anything you like for toppings. Recipe by Sabumochi cookpad.japan -
