fftopic: Could you PM me the recipe for 'havregrynskugler'? They look fab... I hope you were wearing a vintage pinny!

 

[sixsexsix]

we really need to have an "i made this" food thread where we share recipes.
:eusa_clap
maybe its been done?

 

[Joie DeVive]

The closest to an "I made this" food thread I know of are: "What's for dinner?" which is in the OB, and "Vintage recipes" over in the Golden Era.

When I saw your pictures, I ran to the kitchen and made havregrynskugler, then I ate way too many and felt bad about it. lol
They are too easy to make and too easy to eat bunches of!
Oh, and I often add coconut to mine, it's lovely. Very easy to make, you just mix all the stuff together until it looks edible and formable to small balls.

I was just thinking that when I was desperately looking for a vintage pinny (I've a few but just can't find them - I keep making them BECAUSE I keep losing them!!)
I'm off to look for some fabric and a pinny pattern! lol

Laura - Adding coconut is sooooo good, but I thought I would get coconut overload when I have coconut in the cookies.. I never make havregrynskugler, but when I doo.. I just munch munch munch!!

My mother made those - only with finely crushed vanilla wafers instead of oatmeal and bourbon instead of rum. Big favorite at Christmastime. And yes, I have the receipe if anyone wants it.

 

[KittyT]

Yeah, I totally thought this thread was going to be about vintage china.

 

[fortworthgal]

I too thought this thread was going to be about vintage china, so I was searching for some photos of our table set with all of our Fiesta and restaurantware. lol

I cook dinner nearly every night, but bake maybe once every 2-3 weeks. Here's my most recent baking effort - Sprinkles chocolate cupcakes, made from the Williams-Sonoma mix. They were delicious!

and danish 'havregrynskugler'

QUOTE]

Oh! They are not really that danish, we have them over here as well, we call them "rumkugeln" what means rum balls But over here, we have quite a few different ways to make them! But sure, always with rum

Yup, that tastes excellent too!

Recipe for havregrynskugler is simple:

Mix butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder, oatmeal, coffee.
You can also add:
Orange juice in stead of coffee.
Desiccated coconut (which is the way I prefer them, lots of coconut!).
Rhum essence.

You just mix it all together with your fingers until you like the texture. Let it sit in the fridge for some time, 10-15 minutes or more. The reason you do this is that you need the butter to set and cool of before you roll it, otherwise you will have very greasy fingers.

Then you just take a bit of the mixture and roll it into a small ball with your fingers, I prefer to make tiny little balls, but some people prefer larger mouthfuls. You can leave them as they are or roll them in some icing sugar or coconut.

I have a lot of vintage appliances, kitchen gadgets and cookbooks, so I like to try to do vintage recipes in the way they would have been prepared in the 30s-50s. Recently I came across a recipe for pineapple upside-down cake made in an electric frying pan. So I had a go at it, and chronicled it here:
http://thesocialclub.forumotion.com/cookbook-f14/vintage-recipes-and-vintage-techniques-t86.htm

It came out quite well- I was pleasantly surprised!

 

[sixsexsix]

i have a few images stockpiled from past goodies i have made:

banana-walnut cake, the best cake i have ever eaten:

apple galette and a strudel

chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing:

chocolate torte & chocolate mousse tarts:

assorted breads:

i took baking as my (first) post-secondary, so i have a bit of practice.

i am going to bake some vegan pumpkin-spice cookies for a friend of mine tonight, which i know will be delish.

 

[Laura Chase]

Oooh, sixsexsix, you cou post the recipe for the banana-walnut cake? Looks delicious!

I'm from Europe, so it should be fine. I'd love to see more of your favorite recipes!

Sweet Leilani, the upside-down cake is looking good, lucky you to have such a pan! And your kitchen too, love the curtain!:

This thread is quickly becoming my favorite!

3. scrape bowl and mix another minute or so on slow.

85g butter
200g sugar (white)

2. melt butter on stovetop, stir in sugar and rest of milk, bring just to a boil

5. remove from heat and add coconut/walnuts

in the photo i posted earlier i also melted some chocolate in a double-boiler and drizzled it on top.
