water cake

As a sponge cake for adding toppings or juice and fruits this cake is super fluffy and has no milk.

Ingredients:

6 eggs

300 g sugar

80 ml fruit juice - peach, pineapple, mango...

Lemon zest from half a lemon

200 g flour

1tb east

3 drops of lemon juice

As usual whipp the ingredients except for the egg whites, then whipp the egg whites with the three drops of lemon juice until stiff and bring both together ever so lightly.

I usually chose the fruit juice according to the fruits I am going to cover the cake with. But best avoid orange juice because it gets bitter when heated in the baking. If you chose an orange cake better let it cool and then drip the juice over it, you can use pineapple juice or water for the dough.

kaiserschmarn

Kaiserschmarn - the worst of this recipe is getting the name right. 😅

Best Desert I ever tasted in Munchen, Germany.

I would add that it is easy, looks yummy yet rustic so there is no goong wrong with the platting.

Ingredients:

6 eggs

400ml milk

200gr flour

2tb spoons of raisens

1tb spoon of sugar

1 packet of vanilla 

1 pinch of anis

1 pinch of salt

3 drops of lemon juice

1tb of rum (optional)

Final ingredients:

1 pinch of cinnamon per pancake

1 pinch of icing sugar per pancake

Enough butter to fry on a pan

Enough sugar to caramelize surface

Whipp all ingredients, but the egg whites together. 

Whipp the egg whites with the drops of lemon juice until stiff.

Join both into a soft dough, with care not to beat the air out of the egg whites.

In a frying pan put enough butter to cover the surface after melted.

Add a thin layer of the dough, about 0.5-1cm. 

Let it bake in low heat until you can see bubbles on the surface.

Add a spoon of sugar on the surface and flip the thick pancake over. It should break into pieces, that is part of the charm.

Let it bake until it caramelizes the surface below. Set a side and repeat with the remaining dough.

Serve with a drizzle of cinnamon and if you want to go the extra mile add icing sugar.

donuts

Super fluffy and healthy recipe,super simple to make. Once I saw the video giving use to the chocolate left overs I was delighted. My kids receive so much chocolate during Christmas that it reaches Easter, it happens again then... But then the recipe was so soft and fluffy that I had to play around with it and you can easely opt to leave the chocolate out for younger kids or switch to raisens. I always wanted to make donuts, but it is hard to find a healthy recipe for donuts and this one is so easy.

meat bread - bola de carne

It is very típica in Portugal, to make bread with meat stuffing. 

Usually we opt for lots of types of dried meats such as chouriços and hams. I prefere to use the minced meat leftovers and lots of cheese. 

Dough:

- 1kg all purpose flour

- 1 tea spoon baking east

- 1 tea spoon of salt

- 250gr margerine (softened by heat) 

- 100gr olive oil

- 2 eggs + 1(egg saved for crust) 

Just use a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients and then use your hands or some tiny ones that really want to handle it. 😁 The dough should be soft and easy to handle, not too sticky nor too runny. 

Then use about half of it and spread it against a form. Should be fairly easy considering the softness of the dough. Use you fingers to spread it thin and around the borders of the form.

Add your choice of fillings. Mine was a layer of cheese, then minced meat (already cooked) and finally cheese again. 

Top it with the remaining dough. Beat the remaining egg until homogeneous and spread it over the dough. 

Bake it in a preheated oven at 180C for at least 45min.

home made chocolate ice-cream

Ice-cream is one of those decadences no one can reason with. It is usually so full of sugar and heavy on greeze that we find it utterly unhealthy. This version you at least know how much good, and bad, goes into it. 

Ingredients :

- 250gr dark high quality chocolate

- 250gr cold cream to wip

- 370gr can of condensed milk (consider leaving some on the can, it is on the sweet side) 

Fast bread

Perfect for when you want to have hamburgers but totally forgot the bread and you have 1h until dinner time. 

Ingreedients:

3 yogurt

6 yogurt cups of flour

Tea spoon backing east

2 tea spoons of salt

1 table spoon of sugar

Basically knead all the ingredients together until homogeneous. 

Heat the oven at 180C.

Then dust a surface with flour and roll the dough on it until the surface of the though is filled with flour and it doesn't stick so much to your hands.

Cut the dough in 4 using a knife and for each roll them again in flour until they don't stick on the surface.

Set the 4 buns on the oven tray covered in a thin layer os flour. 

they will rise and fluff and be a bit dense and humid when ready. Perfect for a hamburger.
