bigugli Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Got to have 'pulla' as part of the table dressings. Goes along with the cardamom cookies, gingersnaps and shortbreads and washed down with a nice glass of Lingonberry punch or Peter Heering.

SBCregal Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I love that stuff, I think theres some in the freezer still. I did some baking the other day as well, tried my hand at making Luumutortut...the prune tarts. They turned out pretty decent for my first attempt here's a pic of what's left of the 4 dozen we made ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Gram always cheated and filled them with raspberry or blueberry preserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like the heavenly aroma of Grandmother's baking. The mix of cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon that would fill the air in our small home.

aplumma Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 If you want to make pastries just like Grandma made use lots and lots of lard. It is the secret ingredient that the doctors have convinced us is killing us. (yaa I know it is bad but it still is the best) Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Have you two ever had Pulla with vanilla sauce, my mom used to make a yeast cake something like that, but with vanila sauce made from real vanilla beans. I've never heard of vanilla sauce, but I'm sure it is scrumptious. The recipe for pulla is standard to all the scandi and germanic cultures. Only differences are in the spices, shapes and toppings. Pulla, Swedish tea ring, English chelsea bun and Bohemian braid start with the same basic dough. Edited December 25, 2009 by bigugli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
