Happy Cancun Tan













I





I am back after a week of leisure, real luxury leisure - lazed in the sunny beach and baked in the sun by the pool. Yes, baked, the family looked as tan as these breads above. That's all the baking and roasting i did for the week - tanned thighs and legs. We booked this trip to Cancun as it was track-off for Renee and despite of the scare in Mexico, we had great fun especially Renee and Alexander.


Ingredients:
Same as Tau Sar Bun

Method:
Divide dough into rounds or ovals.
Flatten the round/oval dough and using a round cookie cutter, cut the mouth and place the piece of cut-out dough for the nose - use egg-white to stick it on.
Using smaller cutters, cut the eyes and use them for ears.
Let dough proof to double the size, then glaze with egg-wash and decorate the hair and eye-brow with black sesame seeds, red colored sugar for cheeks and M&M for ear-rings. Be creative and have fun as there will be surprises and grins from the results.
