Oatmeal is good...raisin is good..rum ??..oh even better!!..so these bars are a combination of my favorite things..
The original recipe from Nicole of bakingbites doesn't have rum in it..but I added some to jazz it up and the result didn't let me down !
Thanks Nicole for such a good recipe..and if you find it interesting,please click here to find out more details..

Best Drop Biscuits
This is not the first time I've made these biscuits..and there are more than one source that i've seen it posted on ! I firstly saw it on Joe's site (culinary in the desert) a while ago and I gave it a try twice..but I didn't manage to get a clumpy butter and buttermilk mixture as stated in the recipe both time( the tastes were still great though) so I just left it unrevised...and went ahaed to try something else !
Then recently I saw it again on everybody likes sandwiches which got a link to the site that shows some photos of the method and I then found out how the clum in the buttermilk mixture is supposed to be..and I decided to have a go..for the third time!!
It's flawlessly done this time...I gave some away for a party hosted by a friend of mine, people ate and said it's like KFC's...wow wow wow...I took it seriously as a success ! lol..

Tahinli
It's been a long while since the last time I got my blog updated on the blogger !! I've ,in fact, made numbers of baked goods but I just didn't bother to get it published here...only have done it on my other blog where I was settled down to begin with.
Now, it's time to be back and it's nice to begin with something excellent which I've found on this site ( thank burekaboy for the fabulous recipe !). The look of this bread really got my attention , besides its ingredients like tahini or orange flower water that are totally new to me!!
Only one thing I didn't follow the original recipe is to omit mahlep.. it's not that I really wanted to but I couldn't manage to find it anywhere in HK ( within a short timing!)..
Speaking of the outcome, it's peculiarly nice to me and I am , no doubt, very pleased with what I've got ! If you are a fan of sesame seed..this is something you shouldn't miss out!!
