These crescent almond cookies are quick and super easy to make. Filled with sweet nutty flavor. Crumbly and crunchy on the outside. No school today for the kids, so we spent the morning at the beach with lots of our friends. With the last effects of Hurricane Marie, even today, the waves were amazingly big and a bit scary. Probably not 15 feet high as the other day, but definitely not safe enough for the kids (or me) to boogie board. Anyways, with this perfect warm and sunny weather, a nice ocean breeze and great company, we all had a blast. I'm now a bit exhausted, ready to relax and cook something delicious. Yes! Baking is a great form of relaxation for me! I had some leftover almond flour from a couple of weeks ago, when I made some delicious, chewy and sticky almond cookies. I really love those cookies, and I was almost tempted to bake the same today. My kids have also been begging for more! But I decided to change recipes and try something new. These cookies are quick and super easy, filled with sweet almond flavor, crumbly and crunchy on the outside. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast with cappuccino or milk. Great for your kids' snack - they will love you even more! And a delicious idea for your afternoon tea. Enjoy! Ingredients: to make about 18 cookies Printable Recipe 2 oz (half stick - 55 gr) of unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/3 cup (60 gr) of sugar 1 egg 1/4 of teaspoon of almond extract 1 pinch of salt 1.5 cups (150 gr) of almond meal/flour 1 cup (120 gr) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (75 gr) sliced almonds to decorate powder sugar to decorate (optional) Preparation time: 40 minutes Directions: Step 1: In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar, salt, almond extract and the egg, until smooth. Step 2: Add the almond meal and all-purpose flour and mix well. Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll pieces of dough into the sliced almonds, and shape in crescent shapes, as shown in my picture. Step 4: Place the cookies on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper over baking sheet. Bake the cookies for about 20-25 minutes until slightly golden on top. Let the cookies cool down and decorate with powder sugar if you like. Enjoy! And have a great weekend :-)

Greek Ekmek Kataifi recipe (Custard and whipped cream pastry with syrup) Base ingredients 250g kataifi dough (9 oz.) 50g butter, melted (2 oz.) 80-100g pistachios, chopped (3.5 oz.) For the syrup 200g sugar (7 oz.) 200g water (4/5 of a cup) lemon peel from half a lemon 1 cinammon stick For the custard 750g whole milk, cold (3 cups) 150g sugar (5.5 0z.) 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 75g corn starch (2.6 oz.) 4-5 egg yolks (depending on the size of the eggs) 75g butter (2.6 oz.) a pinch of powdered mastic ( For the whipped cream 500g cold heavy whipping cream (2 cups) 60g icing sugar (2 oz.) 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Directions To prepare this traditional Ekmek kataifi recipe start by making the base. Preheat the oven to 170C and unroll the kataifi dough from the plastic sleeve. Work the kataifi dough with your hands, tearing apart the shreds and spreading the strands out a bit if they clump together, in order to get fluffy. For this ekmek kataifi recipe you will need a 25cm square non-sticking baking dish. Butter the bottom of the baking dish and spread the kataifi dough to form the base of the ekmek kataifi. Pour over the melted butter and bake in preheated oven for 30-45 minutes depending on your oven, until crispy and nicely coloured. In the meantime prepare the custard for the ekmek kataifi (steps 2-4). Add in a large bowl the egg yolks with half the sugar (100g) and whisk until fluffy. Add 3-4 tbsps of the milk and the corn starch and whisk again until the corn starch has dissolved. Set aside. Pour the rest of the milk in a large non-sticking pan and add the sugar and the vanilla extract. Place the pan over high heat and bring to the boil. As soon as the milk comes to the boil, remove from the heat and ladle gradually 1/3 of the milk into the egg mixture, whilst whisking. Place the pan (with the remaining milk) again on the stove and turn the heat down to medium. Add the egg mixture into the pan with the remaining warm milk. Whisk continuously, until the mixture has thickened and is smooth and creamy. Remove the pan from the stove, add the butter and stir. Pour the custard in a large tray, cover with some plastic wrap (the plastic wrarp should be touching the custard, so that it doesn’t form a crust) and let it cool, while you prepare the rest of the ekmek kataifi recipe. Turn the kataifi out of the oven and let it cool down completely. Prepare the syrup for the ekmek kataifi. Add all the ingredients for the syrup into a small pot and bring to the boil. Simmer the syrup of 3 minutes (without stirring), until slightly thickened and remove from the stove. Leave the syrup aside to cool down for a while, until lukewarm. Ladle slowly the lukewarm syrup over the cold baked pastry, enabling each ladle to be absorbed. Set aside to cool down for a while. Prepare the whipped cream and assemble the ekmek kataifi. Top the kataifi base with the custard and even out using a spatula. Put the cold heavy cream into a mixer’s bowl, add the icing sugar and whisk on high speed until medium peaks form, about 1 minute. Top the ekmek kataifi with the whipped cream and even out. Sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and a pinch of cinnamon. Store the ekmek kataifi in the fridge and serve cold. Enjoy!

Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Roll Cookies Cinnamon rolls with a twist, or are they cinnamon cookies with a twist? I’m not sure, but what I do know is that these vegan gluten-free cinnamon roll cookies are absolutely delicious and super addictive. Having only one is not an option I always enjoy baking with spices, but even more do during winter and especially closer to Christmas time. I grew up not celebrating Christmas, even though I’m half English, I grew up in Iraq, a muslim country and there weren’t many English/Christian people around us, so there didn’t seem much of a point to celebrate it. Also, I grew up in a third world, war torn country that was subjected to sanctions that made it difficult […]
