Austria: Cooking Around the World with Camilla (CATWWC) *PART II*



Though I had all intentions to make a dessert after our Austrian cooking-around-the-world dinner, it has been a long week and I was done. But I promised Dylan that we would make the dessert, so we made it for breakfast this morning.

While the French have their crêpes, Austrians have their palatschinken. Same thing. And because I skipped out of making apple strudel, we filled our palatschinken with an apple filling.

Apple filling: sliced apples, organic brown sugar, and cinnamon. All cooked in pan with butter until the apples are softened and a caramel sauce has formed.

1 C white whole wheat flour
3 eggs
2 C milk

Whisk everything together to form a thin batter. Heat and butter a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour the batter onto the pan. Tip and rotate pan to spread batter as thinly as possible. Brown on both sides and serve hot. This recipe makes between 8-10 crêpes.

Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar.

So, now I can say that Austria is offically wrapped. We're on to Azerbijan this evening for dinner.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.
