Sweet Dinner Rolls

I found this recipe in one of the cooking website that i'd like to try next time.

1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup warm fresh milk
1 large egg
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 pack of dry yeast ( 0.25 ounce )
1/4 cup of butter

Mix water, milk, egg, 1/3 cup of butter, sugar, salt, flour and yeast in a mixing bowl.

Once it become dough, bring it out to a floured surface. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into 12inches circle and spread the 1/4 cup of butter over the dough entirely. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Roll those wedges starting at the wider end. Roll it gently but tightly. Place them down on a cookie sheet. Cover with kitchen towel in a warm place for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 2oo℃ and bake the rolls for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Hail! Queen Of Fruit!

For RM10 ( 2.87USD) i get a plasticful!
Don't let its dirty exterior fool you.
No knife? No problem. Just squeeze between two hands carefully not to squeeze the meat inside.
Tadaa! Sweet-tangible white flesh. Must try!
Bought this mangosteen from FAMA farmers somewhere in Pontian. Now is the fruit season, you know. West side of Johor from Batu Pahat down to Johor Bahru, we can find many roadside stall sell durian, lychee, mangosteen, papaya, red dragon fruit ( pitaya ), jackfruit, coconut, mango and so on. We bought these mangosteens for RM10 per 2kg. That is like less that 3USD. And i get 18 of these! Eat all you can! Compared to some that is selling in Brooklyn...they sell mangosteen for 45USD per pound! you do the math! Hail Queen of Fruit!
