The baking of christmas cookies and biscuits in the Advent season is a tradition. So to say pre-christmas attunement, with christmas carols in the background mixed with the scent of typical christmas spices.

It’s autumn, when you get up in the morning and it’s no more 22 degrees but 2. Brrrr…. Altho during the day the sun shines beautiful.
The local fruits: apples, pears, plums and nuts are ready for harvest.
So today we will do something with plums – a poppy seed plum strudel! Read more
Wild strawberries – I love them!! Delicious!! Read more
Now that we had so much “sweets”… It’s now time for something “salty”…
These biscuits go with wine and beer or just for nibbling. 🙂 My sis’s and bro’s would say “ti gajak”… 🙂
Our children love them too. Also good for “in between”, picnics or snack for school.
Chop olives and tomatoes. Grate cheese.
Whisk softened butter.
Beat 2 eggs, remove 3 tablespoon and put aside (to brush). Mix rest of beaten egg to butter.
Mix olives, tomatoes, cheese, salt, pepper and milk to egg-butter mixture, add flour and knead with hands to a dough.
Place in fridge for 1 hour.
Roll out on a floured surface and cut out shapes you fancy. Put on baking tray with baking paper and brush with remaining egg.
Bake in preheated oven at 210° C for about 12 minutes.
Enjoy baking!

This is the best Gingerbread ever!!
For us it is a must to bake these gingerbread for christmas.
Often it is the problem, that the gingerbread get hard. But not with this one. The dough has to be prepared and stored for two weeks before baking.
You can also build a gingerbread house!
Mix flour (both), sugar, bicarbonate of soda and gingerbread spice. Make a little hole in the middle, add in eggs and honey and knead.
Place dough in a “hermetically” sealed tupperware and store cool for 14 days. (Gingerbread will stay soft)
Roll out in 5 mm thick (on floured surface) and cut out in different shapes.
Put on a baking tray (with baking paper), brush with whisked egg and place halved almond on it.
Bake in preheated oven at 220° C for 6 – 7 minutes.
Winterly greetings
