It's been cold here in Wellington this week and I have been craving sugar after dinner. I blame that on all these cooking shows I have been watching every week night, so either during or after the show I am eating some sort of sugar
My absolute favourite is My Kitchen Rules (an aussie cooking competition) and yes there is a bit of drama and all that
but I enjoy watching ordinary people cooking up cool dishes... and all you women who watch it for Manu ... I don't watch it for him!
It was the semifinals this week, and I had already eaten ice-cream two nights in a row, so I decided to make some Russian Tea cakes
The first time I made them, I was in university - it was Christmas and I was visiting family in Kuwait. It was a great hit!
K was out at church for a youth meeting, so I decided to make this quickly before he got home. He loves sweet sugary coated surprises,
so he got all excited when he knew something was in the oven when he got home. I love how this sweet little dish is made with pantry basics
If you don't have these ingredients in your kitchen, you definitely need to work on stocking up that pantry. Hope you enjoy this one ... it was so good both warm (yes we couldn't wait to eat it) and even after it cooled down
