Hamburg Brown Biscuits for 3rd Advent
December 12th, 2017 | bread & pastries
The advent dream of my childhood: the original Hamburg Brown Biscuits. In my grandma’s recipe book in grain and lot, today it is more feasible in grams and teaspoons – my favourite pastries for Christmas! The photo is some years old. Then, our children stamped names on the cookies – a nice idea as a small Christmas gift.

THAT'S HOW THE WIFE OF THE CAPTAIN DOES IT
My favourite gingerbread spice is „Klingenberger Lebkuchengewürz“ manufactured by „Altes Gewürzamt“ in Klingenberg/Germany. I am definitely fond of their spices. The gingerbread spice is well-balanced and besides Christmas pastries I use it to season meat dishes with it as for example a wild boar goulash or roast beef – delicous!

Piedmontese chocolate pudding with vanilla quince
A beautiful and strong coffee, anyone? Then, after a substantial meal, this specialty from the Piedmont is the right! In Piedmont, this pudding is called also Bonèt, because its form probably reminds something to a hat or a chef’s hat. Another story around the Bonèt comes from the Langhe. It states that one puts so to speak “a hat” – a crown – on dinner with this dessert. Anyhow, it tastes excellently and even better when prepared the day before. Incredibly handy when you expect guests.
PS: The Vanilla Quinces are a perfect match!
