Summer is the time of sugar and spice and everything nice. I like to treat myself or family and friends with sweet creations, preferably served on beautiful plates like these old Arabia saucers. On midsummer Sunday me and my "long-lost relative" Anna went fishing and afterwards, not catching any fish, made special pancake from Åland. (Åland is an island that belongs to Finland and is very Swedish.) Anna shared the pancake recipe she learned while working there and I´m sure she won´t mind me sharing it here aswell...
Tarja´s Pancake from Åland
1 l milk
1,5 dl semolina (mannasuurimo)
1 tsp salt
Make a porridge out of this by cooking semolina in milk for about 10 minutes. Add salt. When it´s ready mix with...
half a tbsp salt
1 tbsp ground cardamon
1 egg
50 g butter
Bake in 175 degrees for about an hour. Afterwards let it cool for 10 minutes.
This is what was left of the Beetroot cake I made while visiting my folks. For the lack of muscovado sugar my cake looks quite pale. This was a big success though so I truly recommend! Pumpkin seeds turned out to work really nice and fresh lemon in the icing just dots the i... I´ve been wanting to make a cake out of beetroot for long time because the one I had at Earth Café was just great. This would surely be awesome with cream cheese topping, too.
I´ve already done quite many summery things apart from summery baking. I´ve done horse riding, cayaking, fishing, music festival, hitchhiking, flower picking, swimming in the sea, outdoor bouldering (climbing) and so on and so forth. I still want to sleep outside in a tent.
Make the most of the summer! Peace and love. xx
