Cream Pockets

Today mamak came home for breakfast, today he's working alone so theres no one to have breakfast with at work. We only live like 5minutes away(walking time) from his office, so it's kind of cool.

I made cream pockets for breakfast. In german, they are called Sahne Taschen so they can either be 'cream bags' or 'cream pockets'. I'm going for cream pockets, cause I think its sounds cute. A truly new recipe for me but it was simple enough for a breakfast treat. 

I first preheated the oven at 220°C.

Then I made the batter. It was easy. Two whole eggs and 50g sugar. Beat until fluffy. When I say fluffy, I mean really really fluffy. Until they double in size! Almost stiff like meringue.Then I sieved 50g flour with 1 1/2 teaspoon cacao powder. Fold them in lightly and viola! you've got it.

Dollop them on baking paper and make pancake-like shape with your spoon. Leave some space between them cause they tend to 'grow' as you bake them. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Leave to cool a bit and peel them carefully from the baking paper.



Whip some cream with a little sugar. (If you have ready to spray whipped cream, you dont have to do this)



Melt some chocolate on a double broiler. (If you have chocolate sauce, you dont have to do this)



Then, I spread a good amount of Strawberry jam on one side of the cake.




Spoon the whipped cream in the middle of the cake and then fold them into two, like little pockets.



Place them on a plate and dribble chocolate sauce over it. Tadaaaa.....



Serve and enjoy!...


ps: I'm totally absolutely definitely making this again..
