SCONE: A SHORT HISTORY
Scones are biscuit-like pastries or quick breads that are often rolled into round shapes and cut into quarters, then baked, sometimes on a griddle. Scones can be savory or sweet and are usually eaten for breakfast, but are also served with tea and in coffeehouses.
History
Scones got their start as a Scottish quick bread. Originally made with oats and griddle-baked, today’s version is more often made with flour and baked in the oven. As for the origin of the word “Skone”, some say it comes from the Dutch word schoonbrot, which means beautiful bread, while others argue it comes from Stone of Destiny, where the Kings of Scotland were crowned. According to Webster’s Dictionary, scones originated in Scotland in the early 1500s.
Scones became popular and an essential part of the fashionable ritual of taking tea in England when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788 – 1861), one late afternoon, ordered the servants to bring tea and some sweet breads, which included scones. She was so delighted by this, that she ordered it every afternoon and what now has become an English tradition is the “Afternoon Tea Time” (precisely at 4:00 p.m.). They are still served daily with the traditional clotted cream topping in Britain. IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN!

A soup made with shrimps steamed in ginger root, cabbage and a bit of Onion. This is a simple Filipino way of cooking shrimps as a soup. Specially on this winter time, soup includes in everyday meal. A kind of fast winter soup for all Filipinos.
what is a better cold day meal than a big pot of soup? In my opinion, pretty much nothing fills you up and makes you feel warm and cozy like a big, hearty meal like these. Contrary to
popular opinion, it’s not nearly as difficult or time consuming to make enough soup for dinner for an average sized family, plus plenty of leftovers for great lunches. In addition to being delicious and satisfying, soup, unlike many comfort foods, is a fairly healthy options!

LUNCH MENU OF THE DAY!
This is our lunch today/ Just to give you an idea what goes for a simple menu, like this!
Pinoy na Pinoy ang dating ng pananghalian na ito.
Mangoes, I think everyone’s favorite no doubt about it!
Not to compared in a restaurant, because aside from simply homecooking, it is also for family of four members.
Rice being the major source of carbohydrates by most Southeast Asian countries, is a constant in any Filipino lunch. Meat and fish dishes are usually served with the rice. However, it is not typical for a Filipino everyday meal to consists of an entree, main dish and dessert. It is usally just the main dish and sometimes a serving of a dessert or fruits.
CONSIST OF…….
For soup; Savory Mussels Soup
Fried Dark Band Fuslier (fish)
Rice
Fresh Ripe Mangoes
BARRIO FIESTA 2007, 2009 and 2010
PAG IBIG SA BAYAN!
This Blog is all about Barrio Fiestas that we had here in Vienna in commemoration of our Emancipation Day.
This was taken during Barrio Fiesta here in Vienna. In my booth with Tupackfreak and some guest of mine from Italy. Also with Senator Gringo Honasan and Mayor Richard de San Jose of Flora, Kalingga Apayao and their wives. Also Randy Santiago of TFC (The Filipino Channel), which is no picture at all here. And all various Filipino Association here in Austria. (2007 and 2009) During this time, you’ll really see how Filipinos…..”NAGKAKAISA”……was a very successful Day!
Picture down here was our take home food. We bought from one of the booth for our dinner. Grilled squid and shrimps, Our take home food with sliced tomatoes and onions!
The day was too long for all of us but it was a very delightful day for everybody!
Until next year folks…
LOOKS LIKE IMPORTED!
In local restaurants here in Vienna, like a restaurant which they claimed a Greece Resto you will discover something similar to our food. Gaya ng mga piniritong isda, naiba lang ay ang kanin na kapares nito. Kasi usually ang kanin nila kung hindi niluto na may mantika o di kaya ay may kulay…..LOL…
Pero kung tutousin ay di malayong naiiba sa mga putahe nating Pinoy!
Kaibahan nga lang kapag mga fried fish ay laging may kasamang salads maliban sa kanin o di kaya ay french fries. Siguro nagtataka kayo kung bakit ko nasabi ito…kasi sa dami ng mga Greece restaurants na napasukan naming mag pamilya dito ay ito halos madalas ang order ko. Wala akong makitang malaking pagkakaiba sa pagkain nating mga Pilipino.
Pag masdang mabuti ang larawang ito, at makikita ninyo ang ibig kong sabihin…jejejeee…
O di ba looks like IMPORTED pero kung tutuusin ay kanin na niluto sa tomatoe sauce, fried fish, ensaladang carrot na may green salad, kamatis at sibuyas, at hiniwang lemon. masarap siya at nakakabusog talaga. Ito ang naging tanghalian ko nang kami ay kumain sa isang resto dito ng Greko. At kung mapapansin ninyo may basket ng tinapay din na di ko naman kailangan, dahil sa kanin palang ay kuntento na ako.
O di ba tama ako mukhang IMPORTED pero wala namang pinagkaiba sa pagkaing Pilipino.
BANGUS INIHAW (GRILLED MILKFISH)
One of my hubby’s favorite among “INIHAW” dishes, is this one. If ever we had left over he used to add it for Dinengdeng season with bagoong sauce. My hubby requested this recipe but with the condition that he’ll be the one grilling it in the end I was the who did it…lol….
This was our lunch. By the way, I got it from the market cleaned already but frozen one. We don’t get fresh here aside from other fish like Bonito, Horsemackerel, Dorado and Shrimps. These you can get fresh and cleaned also. Which is very usual here in Austria whenever you buy fish. Sa sarap kaya nito maraming kanin ang makakain.
YOU NEED…….

FISH STICKS AND PARSLEY POTATOES
Fish fingers, also known as fishsticks, are a processed food made using a whitefish such as cod which have been battered or breaded. They are then baked in the oven or deep-fried. They are commonly available in the frozen food section of supermarkets, and on children’s menus in family-orientated restaurants.
This was the lunch of the day…
A quick way of cooking for lunch on a very busy day, for a very busy mommy like me!

SMOKED TROUT with VEGETABLES
TROUT belongs to the Salmonidae family. Trout are classifed as an oily fish. The word trout is also used as part of the name of some non-salmonid fish such as Cynoscion nebulosus, the spotted seatrout or speckled trout. According to the British Nutrition Foundation, trout contain one of the lowest amounts of dioxins (a type of environmental contaminant) of all oily fishes.
Here I cooked it on top of mix vegetables seasoned with anchovy paste. You can oven it also with different herbs or fry. Best serve with parsley potatoes or rice. But nothing can overcome the taste of Filipino vegetables like what I added here namely: “bulaklak ng kalabasa”, eggplant and string beans.
Just to give an idea with what, how and other preparation for “TROUT”. My family love it very much the oven one with some flour on top. serve with potatoes or rice. Which I’m going to upload on youtube next time. Of course the recipe here.
YOU NEED…….
* 1 smoke Trout of medium sized

* some fish sauce (patis)
HOW TO…….
SALMON HEAD & MANGOLD (CHARD)
Just to give an idea what mangold goes with it a la Filipino taste and way of cooking. Since I’m base here in europe in which mangold or chard is available every where. Cooked in coconut milk with siling labuyo and vinegar then I serve it with hot rice of course, just like every Filipino family who’s fun of eating rice three or more times a day.
Chard, also known by the common names Swiss Chard, Silverbeet, Perpetual Spinach, Spinach Beet, Crab Beet, Seakale Beet, and Mangold, is a leafy vegetable, and is one of the cultivated descendants of the sea beet, Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima. Although the leaves are eaten, it is in the same species as beetroot (garden beet) which is usually grown primarily for its edible roots.
It has a slightly bitter taste. Fresh young chard can be used raw in salads. Mature chard leaves and stalks are typically cooked (like in pizzoccheri) or sauteed; their bitterness fades with cooking, leaving a refined flavor which is more delicate than that of cooked spinach. Chard is used in a variety of cultures around the world, including Palestinian Arab cuisine.
And for Filipinos like us I have to adopt it according to my family’s preferences and Pinoys cuisine in a way!
YOU NEED…….
* for 2 pcs. Salmon Head

FISH FILLET WITH THYME AND PEPPER
This idea came from a dish the one of my colleague in Sozial Versicherung Anstalt der gewerblichen Wirtschaft (SVA) invited us for Tupperware party.

MILK FISH “PAKSIW”
The milkfish, (Chanos chanos), is an important food fish in Southeast Asia and is the sole living species in the family Chanidae. Milkfish have a generally symmetrical and streamlined appearance, with a sizable forked caudal fin. They can grow to 1.7 m but are most often about 1 meter in length. They have no teeth and generally feed on algae and invertebrates. They occur in the Indian Ocean and across the Pacific Ocean, tending to school around coasts and islands with reefs. The young fry live at sea for two to three weeks and then migrate to mangrove swamps, estuaries, and sometimes lakes and return to sea to mature sexually and reproduce. The fry are collected from rivers and raised in ponds where they grow very quickly and are then are sold either fresh, frozen, canned, or smoked.
The milkfish is an official national symbol of the Philippines, where it is called “bangus”.
Because milkfish is notorious for being much bonier than other food fish in the country, deboned milkfish, or “boneless bangus,” has become popular in stores and markets.”PAKSIW” is the generic name for stews made with vinegar. During LENT SEASON…..this is real good with some eggplant and bitter gourd!
YOU NEED…….
* 2 medium-sized Milk fish (Bangus)

PORK SCALOPE IN MUSHROOMS SAUCE
Mushrooms sauce is one of family’s truly favorite! Any type of mushroom can be used to make the sauce, including button or cup mushrooms, wild mushrooms or a mixture. Before chopping the mushrooms, they should be wiped clean with a damp piece of kitchen towel and the stalks should be removed. Never wash mushrooms, as much of the flavour is lost in the process. Mushroom sauce can be made by adding sautéed mushrooms to a white or Béchamel sauce made from milk or cream or it can be made from a chicken or beef stock. The mushrooms may be finely chopped, thinly sliced or cut into chunks depending on preference and for a smooth and creamy sauce it can be passed through an electric blender. Other ingredients that may be added to a mushroom sauce to give it that extra something special are white wine, garlic, Worcestershire sauce or crème fraiche

One of PINOY Breakfast! “GISING NA…ALMUSAL NA!…nice to hear if somebody from family member wakes you up with these words!
I was asked one time, after attending Sunday mass a friend of mine who was accompanied by an Austrian lady. The lady she asked me of do we eat at home a typical PINOY Breakfast as she knows!
I said YES, of course but not as often as they use too. Then the next questioned was like what?
As you can see the photo down here…that was my answer!
I should say one of PINOY’s BREAKFAST ever. Then after that hubby brought me again to the hospital for check up, I got sick since Thursday morning…until now still not feeling well.
This kind of breakfast maybe for others is something new but for some is no better cure for a hangover than a Pinoy breakfast.
“ALMUSAL” (BREAKFAST)
The typical day of the Filipino starts with “Almusal” – a hearty breakfast of fried rice with “Tapa” an air dried beef, adobo pork or chicken, or fried Danggit or Rabbitfish complemented by a cup of steaming “barako” coffee or thick hot chocolate. It is the most important meal of the day – as the old people way back home said.
Since we are in Europe, we always start the day also with ALMUSAL, but a little different from I mentioned above.
To start with a nice day in Austrian capital city, it includes the typical example of Vienna’s finest breakfast like; 1 cup coffee or tea, fresh Semmel or croissant with egg, Jam and butter, for health consciousness also includes fruits, yoghurt and cereals. Today’s breakfast, my family got sliced meat from can (Spam) heated in a pan, an egg, fresh Semmeln, glass orange juice and tea!
POTATO OMELET (for Breakfast)
ALMUSAL means breakfast and it’s an essential part of every Filipino’s day. Almusal is usually a hearty affair, complete with rice and meat (or fish)…sometimes even more than one kind! Now, with everyone and his brother busy with a million and one things, a traditional almusal is sometimes left by the wayside, traded in for a quick coffee and a random something bought from your friendly coffee conglomerate on the way to work. But that’s not my way, specially during school days. I see to it that the 2 kids get breakfast from me before they go to school.
YOU NEED…….
Makes 4 Servings
* about 10 pcs. small Potatoes, boiled, peeled and sliced

OUR SUNDAY “BRUNCH”
This was our Sunday breakfast-lunch.
Hubby helps me preparing our simple breakfast-lunch…….The so called “BRUNCH”!
To get rid some of left over and to enjoy the ripe water melon!
Gaano ka kadalas na laktawan ang iyong tanghalian? well, kung ito ay madalas hindi mabuting sign para sa iyong kalusugan. Ito ay isa sa mga pinakamahalagang pagkain ng araw pagkatapos ng almusal. Lahat ay pinapayuhan ang pagkakaroon ng isang mabigat na pagkain ay mabuti para sa iyong kalusugan lalo na ang pananghalian (Lunch). Ang kumain ng pagkain ng isang mabigat na hapunan ay dapat na iwasan. Ayon sa pananaliksik, ang pagkain ng mabigat na hapunan ay di tama sa ating kalusugan. Maliit daw ang oras para tunawin ang laman ng tiyan. At hindi nakakabuti na matutulog na mabigat ang laman ng tiyan. Tulad ng nakasanayan ng karamihan lalo na ang mga PILIPINO. Dito sa europa hindi sila kumakain ng mabibigat na hapunan. Tama na ang kaunting bagay na mailalaman sa tiyan bago matulog. Tinapay, prutas o di kaya ay isang magaan at mainit na sabaw lamang. Ang pang araw-araw na pananghalian ay tunay na mas mahalaga.
Ngayong araw ng Linggo, palibhasa ay walang pasok sa trabaho at paaralan, ang buong pamilya ay nagtitipon madalas sa bahay lamang. Sa amin para makatipid paminsan-minsan, pagkatapos makiisa sa lingguhang misa ay babalik sa bahay at manananghalian.
Ang mga tira-tirang pagkain ng nakaraang araw ay hindi ko itinatapon ng basta na lamang. Ito ay uubusin sa susunod na araw, gagawaan ng paraan para maging kaaya-aya muli sa panlasa ng karamihan. Katulad ngayon nais kong maubos lahat ang mga natirang pagkain ng nakaraang araw……sa ganitong paraan, nakatipid ka na, masarap pa sa panlasa ng lahat.

MY BRAISED EGGPLANT
Chunks of pan-fried eggplants are cooked to tenderness in a sauce made with chili sauce, garlic, onions, oyster sauce, soy sauce, some sesame oil, sugar and pepper. A great side dish for broiled, grilled, or baked meat, chicken or seafood like my steamed crabs with dunking sauce!
There are several varities of eggplant. The most common in the Philippines is about 8 to 12 inches long and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. You can always cut the eggplants differently according to your preferences. Note that the size affects the length of cooking time.

My BRAISED SEA BREAM or DORADO
Braising is a cooking technique in which the main ingredient is seared, or browned in fat, and then simmered in liquid on low heat in a covered pot. My family loves very much this techniqeu of cooking, because of the sauce. So, basically, you put some sauce in the pan, you add the herbs, spices and aromatics, you add the fish, chicken or meat, you cover the pan and leave everything to simmer.
It’s so simple, one wonders why not many people take advantage of the braising method of cooking.

This tuna spread is good for sandwiches or you can serve them with crackers like the saltine one or on top of brown bread with sliced of tomatoes and bell peppers too. This was the spread I used for breakfast today for my kids. Onother variation of that sandwich filling. Here I used brown bread that goes well with the spread too topped with sliced tomatoes.

MY SIMPLE DOWN-SIZED BURGERS! (for Sandwhiches)
My 2 kids and I, we love Burgers very much. Making burgers at home, you get more meat instead of fat. maybe it’s better to grill them than to fry. But my kids prefer it more fried than grilled. Maybe one day I’m gonna grill it just to prove to them that it is lesser fat than the one which is fried. You can use ground sirloin from pork or beef. Or even mix pork and beef meat. Commercial burger patties are convenient but you really don’t know what’s in them. Making your own burgers at home is just like a simple play in the kitchen but there are tricks to enjoy better-tasting and less fattening burgers which plays a great role for a healthy living…

MOZZARELLA SANDWICH
If the days goes like this with 30 to 34 degrees, we don’t eat heavy dish!…Sadwhich is enough!
A sandwich is a food item made of one or more slices of bread with one or more fillings. The bread can be used as is, or it can be coated with butter, oil, mustard or other condiments to enhance flavor and texture.
Sandwiches are a widely popular type of food. They are taken to work, school or picnics to be eaten as part of a packed lunch. They generally contain a combination of salad vegetables, meat, cheese, and a variety of sauces. They are widely sold in restaurants and cafes.
The term sandwich is occasionally used (informally) in reference to open-faced sandwiches; these normally consist of a single slice of bread topped with meat, salad vegetables, and various condiments, and differs from a normal sandwich in having a single slice of bread instead of two, with toppings instead of a filling. The open-faced sandwich also has a history differing from that of the true sandwich, having originated between the 6th and 16th centuries, with stale slices of bread used as plates called “Trenchers” (whereas its relative, the modern sandwich, traces its roots to the Earl of Sandwich instead).
The verb to sandwich has the meaning to position anything between two other things of a different character, or to place different elements alternately and the noun has other meanings derived from this more general definition.

* 2 pcs. Baguette or French bread
* 1 pack Mozzarella or 4 pcs.

She said it is heavy than the white one. A nutritionist told me ones that a healthy breakfast – the optimal energy supplier A warm and cooked breakfast in form of a cooked Getreidemüeslis strengthens digesting, develops energy and keeps for a long time full. A breakfast, which consists of cooked grain, like rice, millet, Dinkelgriess or flakes and is prepared with vegetable or with cooked fruit (compote), causes long lasting saturation and you decreases!
Straight one in the cold winter time supplies a cooked, warm breakfast to you with as much energy that you are all day long fit and efficient. They begin so the day with a warm meal, which develops and activates its energy in the body. The result is astonishing. They are all day long more efficient and more concentrated, than without breakfast or with a cold breakfast.
SEMMEL OR BREAD ROLL
What is SEMMEL?
Semmel is a bread roll, a piece of bread, usually small and round and is commonly considered a side dish. Bread rolls are often used in the same way as sandwiches are—cut transversely, with fillings placed between the two halves. In austria they called it “SEMMEL” or bread rolls. Usually included in every family breakfast table. Serve with fruit jam or fruit marmalade (marmelade), honey, butter, ham, sliced fruits, coffee, tea or milk.
There are many names for bread rolls, especially in local dialects of British English. Originally, these originated with bakers terms for different forms of bread roll depending on how the dough was made and how the roll was cooked. However, over time, most people have come to use one name to refer to all similar products regardless of whether it is technically correct or not.

🇵🇭BOILED BEEF TRIPE and EGGS🥚 in “LUGAW” (RICE PORRIDGE)
👩🍳An update from my old entry on Friday, June 12th, 2009 GOTO-beef tripe-CONGEE, adding boiled eggs in it makes it heavy but tastier. At the same time, beef tripe was used leftover from my Christmas, new year and my son’s birthday cooking. To translate this in English “Nilagang Itlog at Tripe sa Lugaw” — “Boiled Beef Tripe and Eggs in Rice Porridge”. Anyway, this was our snack yesterday. I decided to get rid of the leftover from Holidays. This will be the last beef tripe from Christmas. The tripe that I used here was boiled and frozen. In one word cooked. I just thawed it and cut into thin strips and added to my “LUGAW” with hard-boiled eggs as a request by my hubby. Everybody enjoyed it, just as simple as that.
YOU NEED…….
* 3 cups of Malagkit (Glutinous rice)
* 75 g Beef tripe, boiled and cut into strip thinly
* 4 to 6 pcs. hard boiled Eggs
* some scallions or chive, chopped
* a thumb-sized Ginger
* 1 whole garlic, minced
* 3 tbsps. Vegetable oil
* 2 pcs. beef or chicken broth cubes
* some salt and pepper
* 4 to 6 cups water or soup stock
HOW TO…….
—Heat some vegetable oil in a casserole, saute onion, garlic, ginger, boiled tripe and glutinous rice. Season with 2 beef broth cubes and some salt and pepper.
—Pour some water or soup stock, cover and bring into boil until done.
—Add chives and boiled eggs, stir to blend. In a pan with a little bit oil saute minced garlic until golden brown.
—Serve “lugaw” while hot topped with garlic and fresh scallions or chive.
GOTO-BEEF TRIPE-CONGEE
Congee (lugaw) is a national midday or mid-afternoon snack. It can be served plain or with a variety of meat mixed in it. Goto, or beef tripe, is a favorite meat used for congee. While it is traditional to use glutinous rice for making congee, some people find it too heavy for a snack. One option is to use one part of glutinous rice and one part of regular rice. For an even lighter congee, only regular rice is used.The appearance of the congee may be altered too. You can use kasubha, the reddish-brown stamen of a native plant. Since I’m in Europe, there’s no Kasubha, I used finely chopped chives. Remembering my father he loves to have it for breakfast rather than snack.
YOU NEED…….
* 2 cups of glutinous rice (malagkit)
* 500 g of goto (beef tripe)
* 1 whole garlic
* 1 whole onion
* 5 pepper corns
* 2 bay leaf
* salt or patis ( I used patis)
* broth from the boiled tripe
* 3 tbsps. vegetable oil
* ginger, julienned
* chives (dahon ng sibuyas na mura) finely chopped, alernative for “Kasubha”
* 1 spring onion
* 2 cubes of Maggi for more taste and aroma

TOFU ARROZ CALDO
Another request by my lovely daughter Didi. Great choice for cold winter days to warm you up from the inside. Since last Monday, the temperature is only between 5 to 12 degrees C°. In the morning it’s really very fresh and windy. My daughter is craving for something soupy and warm for in between to eat or as a snack. Then she remember one time I did cooked tofu arroz caldo. Yes, without meat only tofu, kinda “Lugaw” with tofu no meat. Today she asked me if I could make it again for snack. I said yes. So she got this for snack today with her brother Roni my son. It’s just simple as that, purely tofu without meat.
YOU NEED…….
Yield: 6 – 8 servings
* 2 cubes fresh tofu
* 1 teaspoon fresh ginger finely sliced
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 cup glutinous rice or rice grains(uncooked)
* 3 cloves minced garlic
* 8 cups water or soup stock
* 1 medium onion, finely chopped
* 2 tablespoon fish sauce (patis)
* 5 stalks scallion(spring onion) finely sliced
* salt and pepper to taste
HOW TO…….
“LUGAW” OUR SNACK
“LUGAW” our snack. Porridge or congee, we Filipinos know it as lugaw–soft-boiled rice cooked in meat broth. Cook with chicken and color it a little with kasubha and it is called chicken arroz caldo, cook it with beef tripe and it is known as goto, serve it plain with tokwa’t baboy on the side. In a country where rice is a staple food, we Filipinos have learned to cook it in many pleasing ways. Can be use rice or glutinous rice. But there’s no reason why one can’t cook a reasonably good lugaw by using other varieties of rice. Trick is to slow cook the rice over very low heat for forty-five minutes to an hour. Plus of course, one must use a very good meat broth in which to cook the rice. I used the broth from the my boiled chicken and added boiled chicken too. But this time I used only rice grain.
YOU NEED…….
* 2 cups og rice grain
* 7 cups of chicken broth
* 4 tbsps. toasted garlic
* 1 onion
* a thumb-size ginger, sliced
* some scallions
* boiled chicken, cut into serving portion
* some vegetable oil
* patis or fish sauce to taste
* salt and pepper
* about 6 pcs. hard boiled eggs
HOW TO…….
—Unwashed rice is best for lugaw because all the starch is retained. If you buy your rice in sealed plastic bags (or you are otherwise reasonably sure of the hygienic state of the unwashed rice), I’d recommend cooking your lugaw with unwashed rice. However, if you buy your rice by the kilo from public markets where the rice is exposed to dust, grime and all kinds of infestations, forget about the starch. A thin lugaw is preferable over a thick one that can make you sick.
—Heat a casserole, pour some oil and saute onion, garlic and ginger.
—Pour in rice in a casserole and set over medium heat. Toast the rice until lightly browned. Season with a little salt or patis. Pour in the meat broth and stir well. Bring to a boil, add the boiled chicken and then lower the heat, cover and simmer for forty-five minutes to an hour with occasional stirring. At the end of the cooking time, the grains should be well puffed and the mixture should be thick.
—If you wash the rice, drain it well and place in the casserole with the broth. Proceed as above.
—To serve, fill the individual bowls with lugaw until about 2/3 full. Arrange the boiled eggs, scallions and toasted garlic at the center. Serve hot with kalamansi or lemon.
TOKWA’T BABOY AS STEW
Traditionally, “Tokwa’t baboy” is a side dish served with “Lugaw” (congee) is simmered in salted water until tender, chopped into cubes, tossed with crisp fried tokwa (firm tofu) and served with a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar and some hot chili. My own way of serving “tokwa’t baboy”, I cooked it as stew.

Every weekend it’s either hubby or I, we use to bake our own apple strudel. At home we are all apple strudel lovers. Maybe this is not the traditional recipe, but according to my family’s preference. Our 2 kids doesn’t like the filling prepared with raisins but I still add sometimes. Once it’s done no question at all, they get treated to a mouth-watering, oven-warm slice.
In Vienna, the filling is usually prepared with or without bread crumbs and raisins. I learned not only how this famous Viennese dessert is made, but also given the original Viennese Apple Strudel recipe to try out at home, and an oven-fresh slice to indulge in on the spot. The aroma and taste of baking strudel will follow back home!
Apple Strudel is a real Austrian Speciality ither baked in an oven or Turbo broiler, doesn’t make any difference at all. One time we tried also the one with vanille sauce, was not bad but we prefer without. For us it’s not only for dessert or snack (“meryenda”) but also we use to have it for breakfast and for in between (brunch). I love my apple strudel with a cup of tea with milk. Can be served warm or cold, usually sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Mix flour, egg, butter, and salt, Add lukewarm water and mix. Place on board and knead for 10 minutes. The more you knead the dough the better it will be to work with. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rest for 1 hour. Divide dough in half.
How to Stretch Dough: Spread table with cloth to hang over sides. Sprinkle lightly with flour and place dough in center. With a floured rolling pin, roll out dough into 8 inch circle. Slide hands gently under dough and let dough rest on the back of your hands, with your palms down. Now pull the dough gently toward you. Stretch and pull dough as you go around. Dough should be thin as tissue paper.

APPLESTRUDEL (Apple strudel) a la Dada (my hubby)!
Applestrudel, everybody’s favorite at home!
Inspired by my hubby, I learned this method from hi…wink!
Take it from me Baby, made from Austria!
I would say; Sweet apples, currants, and raisins are spiced with cinnamon, wrapped in phyllo with fresh breadcrumbs and baked until golden and hot. Take note: I baked it in my TURBO BROILER!…Try it folks 😀
Apple strudel can be accompanied by tea, coffee, or even champagne…lol…
Toppings of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, custard, or vanilla sauce are popular in many countries. If the strudel is cooked right, you won’t need any toppings. It should turn out puffier than when it was frozen.

* some butter
