Read moreAustrian Potato Fingers
Today we have a typical Austrian “Erdäpfelnudeln”. There is no englisch name known to me for this snack. That’s why I call them Austrian Potato Fingers. It used to be our midday fast food and since we were allowed to eat with our fingers it tasted 10 times so good. 🙂

Apfelschlangerl – typical Austrian again – just like the Apricot Dumplings and Buchteln.
Surprisingly this apple cake is not really known in Germany. In Bavaria they would call it apple strudel, but its not an apple strudel. The apple strudel is more a long drawn-out dough.

Scones are typical english! They are eaten at tea time with double cream and a marmelade, black tea with a drop of milk.
We have scones mostly on weekends for breakfast. Warm with butter melting… I love it with jam. Just delicious!!!
My husband enjoys it with butter and cheese (preferably cheddar 🙂 ).
Our kids love it with everything!
The dough is easy and fast to prepare and baked.
This is the family recipe from Mauritius. It has been handed down over the last years and everyone in the family bakes them. From Mauritius to Australia to England over to Gemany/Austria.

Gateaux piment / Mauritian Chilli Fritters
Gateaux piment or Gato pima (creol)
In some countries it is bread and butter with jam, in Mauritius it is a hot crunchy baguette with butter and Gateaux piment. My husband is crazy about Gato pima. 🙂
You can buy them on almost every street corner, sizzling hot out of the pan.
Much enjoyed as finger-food or in a so called Rougaille (mauritian spicy tomato sauce) to go with rice.
It´s also perfect for party and picnic.
