Masukkan terigu. Ada tips yang pernah saya dapatkan dari seorang ahli. Yaitu, jangan langsung mengaduk semua terigu. Sendokkan sedikit terigu ke pinggir mangkuk adonan, aduk dengan sebagian kecil adonan menggunakan ujung jari tangan, hingga dirasa tidak lengket saja. Jangan kebanyakan mengaduk, jaga jangan sampai adonan menjadi berminyak.  Langsung ambil sebagian kecil adonan yang sudah teraduk itu,...

Despite their attractive color, strawberries are never sweet. I wonder why. This is the simplest way to make strawberry sauce or jam:  - First, sterilize your jars. This is how to do it .  - Wash 1 kilogram strawberries, remove the stems. Divide the strawberries into two. - Crush the first half using a hand blender or food processor. It will help releasing the natural pectin so it can thicken. - Coarsely chop the second half into chunks. Not finely though, we want some large chunks to be visible in our jam.  - Put all of it in a pan, add half kilogram sugar. Bring it to the boil on medium heat, then let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Carefully skim any foam off the surface. - At this point, it is considerably done. Let it cool for about 15 minutes before dividing it into jars. Leave to cool completely before putting the lids, then store them in the refrigerator. The consistency is more like sauce than jam. If you'd like it thicker, let it simmer longe...
