    Spiced Shortbread Biscuits

    I often bake Cinnamon Crumble. Just Cinnamon Crumble only, without fruit OR cake. Then I realised it is the same thing as Shortbread which is made with Butter, Sugar and Flour. I stared adding other Spices to Cinnamon Crumble dough, and using Brown Sugar instead of White Sugar. The yummy Spiced Crumbles are transformed into …

    Easter ‘Pampushky’

    ‘Pampushky’ are Ukrainian Bread Rolls. They can be savoury OR sweet, and baked OR deep-fried.

    Cottage Cheese & Blueberry Cupcakes

    I loved ‘Cottage Cheese Pancakes’, that are called ‘Syrnyky’ in Ukraine, and I wondered what would happen if I added Cottage Cheese to my Basic Cupcake. So I tried to make these Cupcakes. I thought Blueberries would be nice in the flavour, so I added some Blueberries. These cupcakes were equally delicious as ‘White Chocolate …

    ‘Mlyntsi’ Ukrainian Thin Pancakes

    Many counties have their own traditional thin Pancakes. France’s Crepes are probably the most famous ones. Ukraine’s thin Pancakes are called ‘Mlyntsi’. Similar to France’s Crepes, ‘Mlyntsi’ can be sweet or savoury. I tried a few recipes that I found on the internet, but most of them require too much Salt. I reduced the amount …
