Mad Baker

APFEL STREUSSEL

I'm in a baking mood today... flicking through pages of woman's day magazine and spotted images of scones and cream and jam..hmm. Take the scale out of the drawer and rummaging the fridge for butter and milk and look what I've found... A bowl of peeled granny smith waiting to be cooked,so hang on scones I have an emergency bake to do, before the apples spoiled. Cut..cut..squeeze the lemon raiding the spice rack and open a new package of my special demerara sugar. Next week I have a few coffee morning invitation with the ladies before the holiday, so get my family recipe book for My mum's Apfel Streussel recipe. That's where the problem started.

There you go..looking for My mum's Apfel Streussel recipe I was stumble upon Omi's (grandma)Schenkelli Recipe and imagine the smell of freshly fried little heaven with icing sugar. What happened was..while waiting for my apple to cool down and the crust slowly bake in the oven, I was preparing for Omi's Schenkelli to be made. In they go in the oven (My Apfel Streussel)and I started to whip the butter for the schenkelli. When the dough is done I was ready for my scones and bake them...but they were all sweet where is the savoury one.

Once you open the flour package you better use them quick, this climate is not suitable for storing items like that so I made my own creation of Scones Parmigiano Which smell absolutely wonderful when it was baked inviting the entire household to the kitchen.

"Aah... you're baking darling!", as George entered the kitchen, "Are you going to try my mum's Date and Walnut Loaf recipe? I bought all the ingredients and would love to reminiscence my childhood...only if you feel like to.." What can i say...bambi's eyes never failed!

One last thing to do before clean up the whole kitchen is to make my own version of Vassilopita ( Greek New Year Cake ) for my daughter Sophie Greek day next Tuesday. With the lucky coin inside the kids will be so thrilled...I hope.
Will post the photo of the Greek Day later.

Have a good weekend, mind was best!
