BRESKVICE


A SLOVENIAN BISCUIT WITH A WALNUT FILLING & A RUM FLAVOUR


INGREDIENTS


  • 500 gr Cake flour T400
  • 1 packet (15gr) baking powder
  • 250 gr Icing sugar
  • 250ml Oil
  • 125ml milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 vanilla sugar packet

 FILLING:


  • 1 cup(250ml) of Peach jam
  • 250 gr sugar
  • 25gr cocoa
  • 1 cup of grounded walnuts
  • 50-70ml rum (depending on your taste)
  • Your leftover crumbs from hollowing out your biscuits


 COLOURING MIX
  • 20ml strawberry essence
  • 5tbsp sugar
  • 25ml vodka/snaps
  • 200ml water

METHOD FOR BISCUIT:

  1. Combine all your dry ingredient into a bowl.
  2. Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients & mix it into a soft dough



3.  Roll into small balls (walnut size). The dough does tend to be sticky. Place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.  
4.  Bake them in your oven @ 180˚C for 10-12min (depending on your type of oven)
5.  Hollow out your biscuit from the bottom
6.  Keep your crumbs for your filling 

Preparing your filling:


Please taste your filling when adding your Rum. Adjust according to your own taste.  I would start with a little bit of rum & then go according to your own taste.
Mix everything together into a firm paste.
NOT RUNNY!!!

Preparing your Syrup:

Combine your colouring mix in one bowl & in another bowl have your white sugar





ASSEMBLING:

  1. Fill your biscuits with your filling & sandwich them together
  2. Take care to clean your biscuits where they are sandwiched together (no filling bulging out).
  3. Once your biscuits have been sandwiched you dip one side of your biscuit in your colouring mix for only a split second & immediately you dip it into your white sugar.
  4. Repeat the same process with the other side of your biscuit.

STORAGE:

Store your Breskvice biscuits in a airtight container.
​Enjoy!!!

BREAD PUDDING FROM BELGIUM

This bread pudding is one of my mothers recipes. My mom told me that in the war the people use to gather old bread to make this bread pudding so that they had something edible to eat.  Obviously it wasn't made so fancy like we do it today but you get my drift. She use to always just make the bread pudding without any measurement and it always came out 2 different ways.  The one way was like a cake like texture whereas the other way was my favourite which I am sharing with you now. It took me a couple of years to figure out why the recipe was always different.  When I use to ask my mom how she got it so dense she didn't know.  She use to say she just makes the bread pudding out of her head & with the ingredients she had. One day I was on holiday in Brugge and there in one of the bakeries was my bread pudding I liked.  You can only find the cake like bread pudding and not this dense one.  I asked my sister in law what made this bread pudding so diffe...

KOEKSISTERS

This week is one of South Africa's favourite treats.Koeksisters  are almost like a baklava but with a doughnut texture made with yummy sugar syrup & not honey.   These lovely treats are found everywhere in South Africa. You can get different types of koeksisters but I prefer the old fashion one.  People have started putting out recipes where the koeksisters are now with different syrup flavours like rooibos thee, cinnamon etc.  Also people have become lazy and they don't plait their koeksister anymore but just give it a twist or they make little balls with them.  I prefer the old fashioned plaited koeksister as it just gives it a beautiful finish.  My recipe was given to me by my mother in law.  The original recipe is really a long process where you have to make your syrup the night before & refrigerate it for the next day. The syrup must be ice cold before you can use it.  My syrup can b...

Age old traditional Slovenian strudel/burek with skuta dish. How to make...

SLOVENIAN SKUTA STRUDEL This week I want to show you how to make a delicious Slovenian version of a  Strudel .  This recipe was shown to me by my friend Anica. You can make 2 different types of fillings on your dough.  Also it doesn't just need to be sweet fillings but you can have sweet & savoury on one dough of strudel.  It's all up to you!   Improvise!  Imagine you can make your meal & dessert all at once. Brilliant!! Hope you enjoy it. PS.  I like the skuta filling one & I froze mine.  It was still flakky once defrosted. TIP:  Be careful of fillings with moisture (apples, pears, etc.) as it is only good to eat on the same day. RECIPE: DOUGH:   750 gr flour 1 egg 60ml oil 1 tbsp Salt ±500ml Water (lukewarm) METHOD FOR DOUGH: Mix with a fork your flour, egg, oil & salt with some of your water Then you add the rest of your water until the dough is just combining but it will be sticky. Adjust your do...
