Impossible pie
It is truly impossible! You don't need a mixer, you put everything in one bowl, blend with fork and bake. Layers are made by themselves - the flour settles to form a crust, the centre is an tasty egg custard filling and coconut forms a topping.Ingredients:4 eggs (medium size)1 cup sugar2 tsp vanilla essence1/2 cup butter or margarine, very soft2 cups milk1/2 cup plain flour1 cup desiccated coconutMethod:Switch your oven to 180*C; prepare a pie dish (not one with bottom coming off - must be solid,...

Parfait Torte with Hazelnuts

Parfait Torte with Hazelnuts
I didn't want to post this recipe at first (that's why my photos are bad too). Don't take me wrong - the torte was tasty, but I didn't like the texture ...all same boring texture. Not for me! I like a bit variety and excitement in a torte. Maybe it would be perfect (that's what 'parfait' means) for someone else; ... lets say for someone who doesn't have teeth ;-). In that case, here is the recipe.Note - any nuts, even grounded poppy seeds may be used instead of hazelnuts!Ingredients:Basic...

Simple Celebration Dinner
I had big plan for my 4-th anniversary (21st May) and 500 000 visits to my blog, which collided almost same day. Unfortunately, mother nature had her last word - flood in Bosnia happened and I didn't have any desire to celebrate. I was in my birth town with my thoughts and hart, feeling for my friends and family who had to suffer again.Instead of that, here is suggestion for simple seafood dinner, which happened on 1/5 (Labor day in Europe; still very much celebrated).-Cooked Prawns, bought-Battered...

Banana Fritters with Salted Caramel

Banana Fritters with Salted Caramel
My boys (especially my hubby) can't imagine a day without bananas. So, you suppose, I always have to find ways of  using them somehow. Some of them go to the freezer (for shakes), end up in Banana bread, or get coated in crispy batter, fried and served with Salted caramel.Ingredients:ripe bananas, halved 1 cup SR flour3/4 cup cold waterpinch of cinnamon oil for deep fryingCaramel sauce-200 g sugar1/2 cup cream (35%)80 g butterpinch of salt Method:Place oil in a deep frying dish;...
