I certainly don’t know how to cook it, but I love when my mother prepares her bread pudding recipe for Christmas. Milk, eggs, sugar, bread, a drop of rum, her magic hands … et voilà, one of my favorite desserts 😂

My husband favorite ❤️
Bitterballen
1 stick butter (114 gr)
1 cup all purpose flour (120 gr)
3 cups beef stock (700 ml)
3 tablespoons onion, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
8 oz shredded and chopped cooked beef (250 gr)
Salt
Pepper
Nutmeg
For the breading
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups bread crumbs
Make a roux with the butter and the flour (slowly melt the butter in a skillet or pan. When melted, add the flour little by little and stir into a thick paste). Slowly stir in the stock, making sure the roux absorbs the liquid and there are no lumps. Simmer for a couple of minutes on a low heat while you stir in the onion, parsley and the shredded, chopped beef. Bring it back up to heat while stirring.Taste, add pepper and salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Taste again and adjust if necessary.
Pour the meat gravy into a shallow container, cover and refrigerate for several hours, or until the gravy has solidified.
The mixture should be so thick that you can cut squares out of it. Take a heaping tablespoon of the cold, thick gravy and quickly roll it into a small ball. I weigh mine out at approx. 20 grams each, or .7 ounces. They can be a bit bigger, up to 23 grams, as long as they’re all about the same.
Roll lightly through the flour, and put them back in the fridge while you prepare the next round of covering. Beat the eggs well. If you use panko, you may want to pulse them once or twice in the kitchen processor, or just squeeze it between your fingers, as some pieces tend to be fairly large.
Take the floured balls out of the fridge and rub them between your palms once more, if they need rounding a bit more, then carefully dip them in the egg on the tines of a fork. Make sure that the egg covers the whole surface of the bitterbal. (If it doesn’t, the filling will spill out into the fryer and you will be left with a hollow shell, and a messy fryer!). Tap the fork on the rim of the plate to remove any extra egg, and then roll the ball through the bread crumbs. Set each ball aside on a plate.
*Optional: after breading them once, I personally prefer to pop them in the freezer for about half an hour, and then I egg and breadcrumb them again. This creates a slightly larger bitterbal, but with a thicker crust.
If your kitchen is exceptionally warm, you could refrigerate them in batches of ten. But when all are done, refrigerate or freeze the snacks while the oil in your fryer heats up to 375F. If you are not planning on serving all 50 bitterballen, you can freeze them individually and then store them in a closed container in the freezer for later. There is no need to thaw them before frying.
Fry five to six balls at a time, until golden brown. Serve on a plate with a nice grainy or spicy mustard.

Here in Brazil we call it “Rabanada”, I don’t know how it calls in English. It’s a tradition to make rabanada for breakfast on Christmas day.
ingredients:
* slices of bread
* milk
* 2 eggs
* butter
* sugar and cinnamon.
First, you put the milk and eggs in a bowl and mix them. So you take a frying pan, grease it with butter, pass the slices of bread in the beaten milk with eggs and put it to toast in the frying pan. Make ready a bowl with enough sugar and cinnamon mixed to pass the slices of bread. After lightly toasting the bread, remove it from the pan and put it in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Go through this whole process for each slice of bread, always remembering to add a little more butter when toasting the slices. That’s it!

For a Christmas dessert I love trifle, with or without the sherry depending who’ll be eating it. Layers of sponge, fruit, jelly, custard & cream decorated with flaked almonds & grated chocolate. Beats Christmas pudding by far in my opinion. Never heard of rum balls though xx

traditionally, in my family, we prepare some kind of chicken dish for the holiday. Dishes and recipes are very different: salads, whole baked chicken or chicken pieces with vegetables… Everyone likes chicken pieces with vegetables: chicken pieces, potatoes, tomatoes (you can have more), sweet pepper, garlic, you can add cabbage and / or eggplant.. Add mayonnaise and spices to this vegetable mixture, add salt and bake in a baking bag. All this is stewed in its own juice and turns out very tasty. And for some reason, vegetables are eaten first )))) Bon Appetit!!!

Pancakes
Ingredients milk 210 g (ml) egg 1 pc. flour 200 g baking powder 5 g (1 tsp) vegetable oil 25 g (2 tablespoons) sugar 30 g (2 tablespoons) 1/2 teaspoon salt
In the container in which we will make the pancake dough, beat the egg, add sugar and salt. If you want to add vanilla sugar, add it now.
Mix with a mixer or just a whisk until smooth.
Add milk, mix.
Pour in vegetable oil and mix well again.
Sift flour and baking powder into a separate container. If you want to add cinnamon or other dry spices to the dough, add them now, it is better to sift them too. We mix everything very thoroughly, I recommend doing this with a whisk, so the result will be better. It is important that the baking powder mixes evenly with the flour, otherwise it may turn out that in some part of the dough it is not there at all, and then it will not rise, but somewhere on the contrary there will be a lot of baking powder and you can taste the soda. So do not be lazy to mix everything well.
Add flour, mix.
We will bake in a dry frying pan without oil, it is thanks to this that the pancakes turn out to be so evenly ruddy and smooth

Christmas punch
Cranberry Juice. Make sure you use a juice that is labeled 100% cranberry juice, versus cranberry juice cocktail. The juice should be marked 100% cranberry but still contain has a blend of other juices for some natural sweetness (confusing I know!). This is the one I used.
Do not use completely unsweetened, 100% pure cranberry juice or your punch will be too tart. If you purchase the wrong kind by mistake or your punch tastes tarter than you would like for any reason, all is not lost! Sweeten the punch to your liking by stirring in ¼ to ½ cup simple syrup.
Sparkling Wine. Use a very dry sparkling wine. It doesn’t matter what the wine’s country of origin is, as long as it is labeled “brut,” which is the driest, dryer even than wine labeled “extra dry” (Tip: think “brutally dry”). Champagne, cava, and Prosecco are all fair game.
Apple Cider + Ginger Ale. Adds balance and dynamic flavor.
Dark Rum or Brandy. Rich, spicy, and fun. I preferred this as a Christmas rum punch, but if you’d like something a little sweeter, brandy is a good option.
Oranges. For a hint of citrus and beautiful color.
Cranberries. Fresh cranberries are important here. I love the look of fresh cranberries floating on top too.
And, lots of ice!

One thing we make for all celebratory occasions is dumplings! My favourite is to make the dough from scratch with regular white flour and warm water – let it rest for about 1-2 hours, before chopping into small pieces and rolling flat like a pancake to create the wrapping.
For the filling – scramble 6 eggs, add a large bunch of chives, small bowl of raw prawns and one Bunche of vermicelli, all chopped to small pieces, with a dash of sesame oil for flavouring, and also salt to season.
Then it’s a journey of wrapping up all the filling and pan frying the dumplings 🥟 🙂
Thank you for hosting beadmas!

Great ! Indeed I like chocolate Rum Balls !
For about 48 pieces :
3 ¼ cups crushed vanilla wafers
¾ cup confectioners’ sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
½ cup rum
Step 1 : In a large bowl, stir together the crushed vanilla wafers, 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, and nuts. Blend in corn syrup and rum.
Step 2 : Shape into 2.5cm balls, and roll in additional confectioners’ sugar (or put them with the sugar in a ziploc bag and shake, it’s faster). Store in an airtight container for several days to develop the flavor (minimum 2 to 3 days).
Remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving. You can roll again in confectioners’ sugar before serving if you want.
And I also really like the prune far (Far aux pruneaux) my grandmother used to make, but I just can’t seem to do it as well as she! Maybe I haven’t found the right recipe yet!

Hello! Today I want to share with you the recipe of peasant potato cake! Poor but tasty dish. It is prepared by boiling the potatoes in water and then as soon as cooked it peels and beats them in purees. Then mix with tomato puree, oil, salt and cheese in a pan for a few minutes. Finally, pour the mixture into a plate and give it the shape of a cake.
It’s really simple but very tasty!
I don’t have precise doses, let’s say potatoes is the predominant part. Cheese, oil and salt to taste.

There are many ways to make matcha bubble tea, but I love using honey, almond milk, tapioca pearls and ofc matcha powder for mine. It’s easy to make: put some tsp matcha in your amount of almond milk. Mix some of the honey in it too. Boil some tapioca pearls and add it to the rest and voila! I don’t put amounts for the recipe here, because everyone prefers it differently. The one loves more matcha in it the other loves it sweeter and so on haha

Su un piano di legno setacciate la farina con il pizzico di sale, aggiungere le uova, i tre cucchiai di zucchero semolato e il burro, ammorbidito, tagliato a dadini. Aggiungere anche il rum (o il limoncello) e la buccia grattugiata di un limone
Lavorate l’impasto prima aiutandovi con una forchetta e poi con le mani, lavoratelo a lungo in modo da ottenere una pasta morbida, liscia ed elastica. Avvolgetela nella pellicola trasparente e mettetela a riposare in frigo per un’ora circa.
Trascorso il tempo di riposo in frigorifero prendete l’impasto, tagliatene una piccola parte, lavoratela con le mani creandone un cilindro spesso come potete vedere in foto e tagliate ogni cilindro con un coltello, creando dei rettangolini della lunghezza di circa un centimetro.
Mettete a scaldare il litro di olio di semi di arachide in una capace padella a bordi alti. Quando l’olio avrà raggiunto la temperatura di 180° friggete gli struffoli napoletani poco alla volta per evitare che la temperatura dell’olio si abbassi. Dopo averli fritti ponete gli struffoli su un piatto piano ampio su cui avrete posizionato dei fogli di carta assorbente.
In una padella capiente (dovrà contenere tutti gli struffoli) mettete a scaldare il miele.
Quando si sarà sciolto aggiungete – rigorosamente a fuoco spento – i canditi e gli struffoli, mischiate bene il tutto con delicatezza e aggiungete anche un po’ delle codette.
Quando tutto sarà ben condito dal miele mettete gli struffoli su un piatto di portate e create una montagnola. Guarnite infine con altre palline colorate.

Lots of really nice recipes here- I’m noting them down! This is an easy family favourite that looks more impressive than the amount of effort taken to make it.
Prawn fried rice
This is the amount for three cups of rice
450g king prawns
Wash the rice and put aside
In a pan big enough for the rice, in a small amount of oil, fry 6 cardamoms, 4 cloves, 4 pieces of cinnamon, couple of bay leaves
When they are smelling fragrant add a flat teaspoon of turmeric and fry a few more seconds (this seems to burn quickly so don’t do it long)
Dump the rice into this and stir fry it for a few mins
Put the rice into the rice cooker and add your water to the usual mark. I tend to add a bit less water than I do with boiled rice as you don’t want it mushy at all.
Add salt- about a level dessertspoon to start, mix it in and taste the water- that’s about how salty it’ll be so add more if you want
Cook the rice
Dry toast and put to the side
-2 tablespoons of paprika
-1 teaspoon of haldi
-1/2 tsp pepper
Fry in a little oil 4 tablespoons of ginger/ garlic paste then add in your spices
Add 1 dessertspoon salt
Add 1 cup of tomato passata and reduce it down a little
Add in you prawns and cook for 5-10 mins if already cooked and 20 minutes if uncooked ( I cook it too much)
Check salt then mix the prawns through the rice. Don’t mix too much so some of the prawns will stay a bit saucy.
Can garnish with fresh coriander

Two-ingredient cake with Nutella
The recipe is special in that it only needs two ingredients. Chocolate cream Nutella and eggs. It is easy to produce and the result is fascinating. It was one of the best brownies I’ve ever tasted.
Beat the Nutella at room temperature for 8 minutes with the eggs.
Pour the resulting mass into a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees.
Bake until a wooden stick is inserted in the middle, the dough will remain dry and unwrapped when pulled out.
Cut only when well cooled.

Each year, I dedicate 1 day, sometimes 2, to baking Christmas cookies. It’s an activity done best with friends and family. I already have my favourites, but from time to time, I like to introduce new cookies to the menu. This year, I will try linzer cookies. They are an Austrian flakey and buttery cookie. I will be using a recipe I found on ‘Platings and Pairings’, but because I like them better with raspberries, I will replace the strawberry jam with (you guessed it), raspberry jam.
Linzer Raspberry Cookies
INGREDIENTS
* 3 cups flour
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1 1/2 cups butter softened
* 2 tablespoons water
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 3/4 cup good-quality raspberry jam for dusting
* Confectioner’s sugar for dusting
INSTRUCTIONS
* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
* In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, sugar and vanilla until just combined.
* Add the flour, water and salt and mix on low speed until the dough comes together in a mass.
* Dump the dough out onto your work surface and shape into a flat disk. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
* Roll the dough out to a uniform 1/4 inch thickness and, using a cookie cutter, cut rounds (or hearts). Using a smaller cookie cutter, make holes in the middle of half of your rounds.
* Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and chill for an additional 15 minutes prior to baking.
* Bake the cookies for 20 – 25 minutes, until the edges begin to brown.
* Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature.
* Dust the cut out cookies with confectioners’ sugar anid spread raspberry jam on each solid cookie.
* Sandwich your cookies together.

In a large pitcher combine green Kool-Aid and water. In a large punch bowl, combine ice, kool-aid, soda, pineapple juice, vodka, and ginger ale.
Use a lime wedge to rim glasses and dip in sanding sugar to coat. Pour punch into glasses to serve.

Stir until smooth. At the end, add the melted butter and stir again. Then add the apples and mix gently so that all the slices cover the dough.

3/4 cup Scharffen Berger natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Melt butter in a small sauce-pan over medium heat. Let cool slightly. Whisk sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Pour butter in a steady stream into dry ingredients, whisking constantly to blend. Whisk in vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating vigorously to blend after each addition. Add flour and stir until just combined (do not overmix). Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top.

I Christmas time or every celebration I love to take the apron and stay during hours cooking for my loving family. When I was young I always look at my mom cooking and learned a lot from her. Today I want to share a dessert recipe. Its reallly easy and everybody love it: they are apple roses.
-apples
-puff pastry
-cinnamon
-sugar
-cream
Apples must be cut in slices in half moon shape.
The pastry shoud be a long rectangle.
Then mix water with sugar and cinnamon and use it as glue all over one side of the pastry. Then place the apple slices and roll up the pastry with the apple inside. It must look like a flower.
I place them in a muffin tray and put inside the oven. When its ready serve with a generous spoon of cream and a vsnilla ice ball 🥰

No bake Chocolate Coconut Snowballs
Ingredients
3 cups (240g) old-fashioned rolled oats
3 cups (240g) sweetened shredded coconut, divided
1/2 cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk (any milk works; I use skim milk)
6 Tablespoons (31g) unsweetened natural or dutch-process cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the oats and 1 cup of shredded coconut in a large bowl. Set aside. (Reserve the remaining coconut for step 3.)
Combine the butter, sugar, milk, cocoa, and salt together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until the butter melts, then bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute without whisking. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, then pour over the oats/coconut. Stir until combined. Cover tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for at least 45 minutes and up to 2-3 days.
Meanwhile, pulse the remaining coconut in a food processor to break it down. It’s easier to coat the balls when the coconut shreds are broken up/smaller.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. And make sure there is enough room in your refrigerator for the baking sheets.

My biscotti recipe:
Biscotti Della Salute
6 eggs
4.5 cups flour
8 oz sugar (I cut this to 6oz because I don’t like them sweet-totally up to you)
8oz oil (sometimes I do half oil and half melted margarine, to come out more crumbly)
Grated peel of one lemon
3 tsp baking powder
1 cup of almonds, chopped (I measure whole then chop)
You can add liqueur if you like, usually Anice
I add a couple of tsp of vanilla instead.
You can also add chocolate or dried fruit.
Form thin logs and bake at 350°F for about 15 mins until very lightly browned on bottom (just coloured)
Then remove and cut diagonally and rebake about 15 mins on each side until golden brown so they will be crunchy.
Enjoy!!!
