No, there is no wine in this cookie. Probably they got their name, because you should eat them with wine. I don't know. But I know that they would go very well with milk, juice, chocolate, coffee, tea, or just plain. So if you don't have wine in house, but you have cookie cravings, go for this recipe. They are similar to lady fingers, their texture is crispy, but soft in the same time.

 But don't relay on my words, go, try for yourself!

Dough:

500 g of flour
3 teaspoon of baking powder
130 g softened butter or margarine
240 g of sugar 
1 vanilla sugar
2 eggs 
1 egg yolk 
sugar for sprinkling

Sift the flour and baking powder on the table. Add the softened butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and eggs. Knead dough until all ingredients are combined. Than roll out the dough.

In a small bowl or cup, lightly beat egg. Brush dough with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sugar. Take your cookie cutter, cut the dough and place it on a baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes in preheated oven. If you like them more crispy you can bake them for view minutes longer until they are golden brown. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. 

Vinski kolačići

Sastojci

500 g brašna

240 g šećera 

1 prašak za pecivo

1 vanilin šećera

2 jaja

1 žutanjak

šećer za posipanje

Priprema

U brašno, pomiješano s praškom za pecivo, udrobimo maslac. Zatim dodamo sve ostale sastojke i umijesimo. Razvaljamo na debljinu noža (ja ih i malo deblje – onda budu mekaniji, a ako su tanji – prhkiji) i narežemo u oblike štapića. namažemo žutanjkom i pospemo grubim šećerom, stavimo u tepsiju i pečemo. Voila! :)

Posluživanje

Ja ne čekam da potamne, već ih još bijele vadim, jer moji vole mekanije :)

Still, we don't know who is She. That famous Hungarian woman who inspired this traditional, low budget, and unbelievably tasty cake. But who cares, as long we know the recipe. You wouldn't believe how little ingredients you need for this cake, and when you taste it, you will not believe how delicious this cake is.

Dough:
600 g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
200 g sugar
8 tablespoons sour cream
140 g margarine or butter

Pour flour mixed with baking powder on the table and chop with margarine. Add sugar, eggs, sour cream and knead the dough. Then divide the dough in 6 equal parts.  roll the dough into a rectangle that is the size of a baking pan ( 32x33 cm). Bake on the reverse side of the pan. 

Chocolate-rum cream:

2 L of milk
20 tablespoons flour
400 g sugar   
100 g dark chocolate 
100 g milk chocolate
3 tablespoons cocoa
3 tablespoons  of rum
1 vanilla sugar

For cream, you need two bowls. Place 1500 ml milk in saucepan over low heat and in the remaining 500 ml milk mix flour and sugar . When the milk starts to boil, add the mixture and stir well until it's cooked. Remove cream from heat and add chocolate, vanilla sugar and rum. 

baked layers

When the first layer of cake is baked, start making the cream. It is important that hot cream goes on hot layers, so that cake is moist and soft right away. So you put first layer, cream it, second layer - cream..and you repeat till the end. Last layer shouldn't be creamed, because on top we will put chocolate glaze.

Chocolate glaze:
150 g dark chocolate
100 g milk chocolate
1 tablespoon sugar
about 3-4 tablespoons milk (add more if you think that glaze is not smooth enough, just don't make it too liquid)

Melt it in saucepan and pour on top of the cake. Working quickly, use a knife or long spatula to smooth the glaze across the cake letting it fall over the sides. When the glazing is completed, let the cake cool on the counter or in the refrigerator until the glaze has solidified.

 Who can wait for chocolate glaze?

Bake it and leave it to cool down. Don't take them out too early, because they can crumble.

This is no recipe. Just in two days I have found this unusual vegetables, so here, I share with you :)


Eggplant

Carrot

or Icy wind. That's the name of the cake. But I love Scarlet O'Hara and movie Gone with a wind, so we''ll call it Gone with a wind...well, partly it is true, the cake is gone, with just one blow :)

The cake is 3xF, but not in a bad way. It's fluffy, fruity, fantastic! If cake attended school for Cakes, she would be straight A's!

Batter:
9 egg whites
300 g sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar


Cream I:
9 egg yolks
4 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoon vanilla sugar
500 ml milk
150 g margarine (optional, I don't like margarine very much, so I don't put any)

Cream II:
whipping cream

AND..Strawberries, or any other berries or fruit. But i looove strawberries. 

For batter: Beat the egg whites with the vinegar or lemon juice until soft peaks form. Add sugar, little by little, while beating by hand or machine. Whip until stiff. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into the pan and bake in preheated oven (150 C) for about 1 hour. Cut the batter into 3 strips.

Cream I: Mix egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth. Add flour and 200 ml of milk. Place  rest of the milk (300 ml)  in saucepan over low heat. When the milk starts to boil, add egg mixture and stir well until it's cooked. When the cream is cool, add margarine and mix well until it's smooth. 


Cream II: Just 1 l of cream, whipped.


So here is the fun part: Use 1/3 of batter and place it on a pan. Then spread 1/3 of cream I over it, place chopped strawberries, and cream with whipping cream. Repeat procedure 2 more times. Than spread the remaining whipping cream cake all over the cake and decorate with strawberries. Place it in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

Eat it.. 

Don't worry about calories..listen to Scarlet:
