Strawberry Milk

🌾🌻It’s Lammas! The first harvest! 🌻🌾

One of the nice things you can do to celebrate, is to bake bread or buns~! Since I’m going to grill with my friends today, i thought i’d make buns, because i’m going to be preparing burgers.

You will need:

for the dough:

320 g of wheat flour

120 ml of hot milk

one big egg

40 g of softened or melted butter

15 g of fresh yeast or 5 g of dry yeast

a teaspoon of sugar

a big pinch of salt

to lightly brush them before baking:

egg mixed with milk

Steps:

First of all get a big bowl and put all your dry stuff in it. (Except yeast if you’re using dry one) 

add an egg and butter

while you’re mixing it, put the milk in the microwave and measure out the yeast you need.

when the milk is still hot but not too hot (be careful, you can kill the yeast with too warm milk) mix it with yeast.

When milk and yeast becomes smooth liquid, add it to the dough 

And now you can use a mixer to knead the dough or just your hands. 

When you have finished dough, cover it with something and leave to rise for 60 minutes. 

After the 60 minutes, weigh the dough and make how many buns you’d like, put them on the baking sheet, and again

Leave them to rise for 30 to 40 minutes, they need to be covered!

Brush them lightly with the milk and egg mixture

Bake them! Heat your oven to 350F or 180C and bake them until they’re golden.

You can get creative with the toppings, you can make some more dough and make sun or flowers on top of them, to represent the harvest and the time of the year or as to represent a deity, you can add herbs of your choice on top, for example dried rosemary to bring happiness and protection, basil for confidence etc. 

But most importantly, Have fun and enjoy the sabbath! 💞

“You can’t feel my heart” I said

“I don’t need to” you replied

“Not even I can get through the wall” I said

“Then let’s sit here and wait” you replied

And so we sat against the wall, waiting

And slowly, the wall started to crumble

Misha is the parent I’m going to be.

misha is the parent i aspire to be

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

oof.

the reason us gays gotta come out of the closet is to make room for all the flannel we buy

BELTANE STRAWBERRY LEMON PASSION BARS

Hello my loves! Beltane is almost here, so I started to experiment with new recipes. This one, I have been messing around in the kitchen to get it right for 2 weeks now.

Beltane often includes aphrodisiacs and other romantic foods.  So why not some sweet strawberry lemon bars that represent love and passion?

FOR THE CRUST

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cup butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

FOR THE FILLING

1 cup sugar

2 tsp. grated lemon peel

The juice of 1 lemon 

½ cups strawberries

A pinch of salt

4 large eggs

3 tbsp honey

Directions

Butter a square baking pan, and line the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper. This will prevent the bars from sticking to the pan.

Make the crust by creaming the butter, sugar and salt in a kitchen aid until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour. Press the dough into the bottom of the baking tin with your hands.

While you wait for the oven to preheat to 350 F. Chill the pan in the fridge. Bake your crust for 12-15 minutes, until very lightly browned. Leave the oven on.

While you wait for the crust to bake, blend your strawberries into a puree. 

Whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and blended strawberries. Pour the mixture over the crust and bake for about 35 minutes, or until your filling is set.

After cooling for 1 hour, dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!

“Sharlotka” is a classic Russian apple cake. In some parts of the world, it’s known as the French Apple cake and it is best described as an apple sponge cake. This cake is packed with apples😍 Unlike traditional apple pie, which is heavy on the crust, this cake makes apples the star of the show. This results in a cake that is airy, soft and beautifully simple. Feel free to use any apple in this cake.

Soooo, you need:

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp cornstarch

4 large apples

powdered sugar for dusting

Wash, peal and dice apples into one inch pieces. Using a mixer, beat eggs with sugar, until it’s three times in volume. Using a spatula, fold in flour by thirds, add 1 tsp of baking powder and 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Cover bottom of the pan (I use 8 inches pan/20cm) with some cake batter, lay out the diced apples, cover apples with cake batter, shake the pan a bit, to spread batter between each apple piece. You have to do two layers of apples and cover the top of your cake with cake batter. The main thing is that the cake batter has to be not too thick and not too liquid.

Bake it at 350F/180C for 40 minutes, check using a wooden toothpick. If the cake is ready, the dough should not stick to the toothpick. It may take a bit more than 40 mins.
