Golden Mouse 2008

A couple of days ago I was chasing a mouse in my kitchen with my maid and did not manage to catch it. I overheard my daughther laughing away at our comical sight and her friend, Wilson over the internet, asked us to roast it in the oven. So here it is ....the 40 Golden Rats....

Thanks much in advance.

I visit your blog quite often and I love it, but I never posted a comment before, so I take this mouse-chance to say that I think you're a very creative and talented cook, and also, thank you for sharing your beautiful goodies! =); January 31, 2008 12:30 am

Home Baker said...: Hi Aunty,
These are so cute. I was watching Channel 8 last nite and they are introducing where to source for CNY cookies and pastry and saw Smiliing Orchid make the similar Meringue mouse cookies.

The insides of your mouse cookie looks layered.
May I know if you used the Oil & water dough method to achieve the
flaky look or just the butter creaming method.
Anyway, the golden mice look charming. All the best for the year of the Golden Rat.
