International Cooking-French Profiteroles

Momma said that whoever found her book would get a surprise. Me and Mark asked Mommy where is your bag that you brung to church. We found it!

So we got a surprise. I made something. I did not know what I was making. I did not know until they were done! 🙂 I have been wanting to make “Creamy Puffs” for a long time! Here is the recipe.

Profiteroles

  • 8 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup flour

Lightly butter baking sheet with 1 1/2 tsp butter and dust with flour. Set aside.
Add butter, water and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a soft boil and melt butter.
Take off of heat and add all the flour, mix well.
Place back on medium head and cook and stir about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour into large bowl and cool a couple of minutes.
Add 1 egg and beat with electric mixer on low until egg is beaten in. Do the same with the remaining eggs.Dough should be shiny yellow and thick.

My First Quilt

This week I sewed a new quilt. It has Pooh Bear and Tigger and green, yellow and white and brown dots. I made red bows with embroidery floss. I used receiving blankets that Oma gave Megan. Megan outgrew them. Momma bought some backing flannel.

I did all the sewing. Momma taught me how to sew the quilt and I did it all. Now I want to make a bigger quilt!

It was fun! Megan likes it a lot because she uses it for church and she uses it to snuggle up in her bed. Megan likes it very very much!

German Cooking

We are learning about Germany this week. We made some cookies.

I liked Engelsaugen (Angel Eyes). They are cookies with a hole in the middle and they have blackberry jam in them. They are supposed to have raspberry. If you want the recipe, let me know.

Yesterday we made Lebkuchen. I liked it, it is a gingerbread type cookie. Mommy used a scale, because the recipe she has used weights.

We also made German Rye Bread. That was yummy, but I was not fussy about the seeds.

I want to do more international cooking. Daddy wants us to do China next week!

Scandinavian Cooking

A couple days ago, we made Scandinavian Snowflake Cookies. It was the first day we were learning about Scandinavia and it was snowing! The countries of Scandinavia are Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Some people consider Finland part too.

We made Finish Pulla bread too. I liked that! It made the house smell so good while it was rising and when it was all finished.

We made snow ice cream because it snows a lot in Scandinavia. This is the recipe for snow ice cream. You have to have some clean clean snow. You use cream or milk, cream is more like ice cream. You put some maple syrup, strawberry or chocolate syrup in it. You have to mix it really good. When the milk is all gone, you have enough snow. Eat and Enjoy!

Do you have a great international recipe we can try?
