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 dough accordingly with adding a little bit of flour until your sides of your bowl is clean.
Make a ball & rub it with oil on both sides
Cover with plastic
Leave overnight in your refrigerator

2 eggs
180ml Cream
1 sachet vanilla sugar
Sugar
Oil

BOLO DE CACO

These delicious buns are so yummy and NO they are not English muffins. These muffins are made like your basic bread dough but they are bake on a griddle pan. I absolutely love these delicious buns. I use to buy these muffins at our local fruit & vegetable market until one day to my shock they didn't sell them anymore. I was so dissapointed & asked the manager why they didn't supply these muffins anymore. I was told that the baker had gone on pension & they didn't know how to make them. Well, after persuation I asked them to give me his number. Relentlessly they agreed and I phoned him. He was not willing to share his delicious recipe. However he gave me the name of this muffin as they were sold only in a plastic bag with no name. He revealed to me that they where called Bolo de Caco originally from the Island of Madeira. He got this recipe from his friend who lived there. Well, I jumped on the inter...

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...
