This cookie recipe for Linzer Sables require a little effort, but they are so beautiful and tasty. The recipe is from one of my favourite cookbooks, “Baking: From My Home to Yours”, by Dorie Greenspan. For a simpler cookie, omit the cutouts, although it does make beautiful cookies. You can dust these with confectioner’s sugar just before serving. Both dough and cookies freeze well (without the sugar dusting). Dough requires 45 minute chilling time.
This casserole is of Austrian origin and was brought over by immigants before the turn of the last century. My mother made a simplified version of this recipe for the family (recipe#512343); but, for a special occasion, this recipe is an authentic version.
soft melt in the mouth biscuits, I suppose originally from Vienna. So simple and economical, can be made in half an hour
A friend shared this recipe with me it’s from the Maida Heatter’s Book of Great Desserts. It makes a nice Holiday or dinner party dessert
A firm favourite of mine when I lived in Herford in West Germany. This recipe comes from a German friend of mine who lives in Bavaria, and is delicious served with sour cream, dumplings or noodles – oh yes, don’t forget the crusty sourdough bread as well! Although this is nice served with the above accompaniments, it is essentially a one pot meal which is sufficient to feed most hungry families. It can be cooked on the top of the stove or in a crock pot; the latter method is my favourite, especially when I am very busy or I need to go out!
