This is one of my favorite photos from Christmas 2019.
It appears that our Grandson, along with his Uncle Jake,
share my love of this little Christmas Cookie.
It was a year ago today,
that they arrived to spend the Holidays with us.
Whether you call them Russian Tea Cakes,
or Mexican Wedding Cakes, or Snowballs,
they are simply delicious.
Another family favorite is Lefse.
We like to make it when the whole family is home.
Everyone takes their turn at rolling and turning
those delicate, soft, potato flatbreads.
And they are best eaten while fresh with
sweet cream butter and a sprinkle of sugar.
How about this sweet treat?
Pumpkin Bread
This year, I found a new recipe for a Streusel Topping.
Quick Breads are so easy to make.
I’m sure you have your go-to recipe.
Start with the dry ingredients...
My recipe uses cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
In a separate bowl, stir together the eggs,
oil, and pumpkin purée.
Whisk it all together until blended.
And bake according to your recipe directions.
But I really want to share the recipe for this Streusel Topping.
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
6 tbsp melter butter
Sprinkle this evenly over batter in the pans
before it goes in the oven.
It is just so festive for the holidays.
Stay tuned for more about my Pumpkin Purée.
Take care,
~Natalie
