Are You Hungarian (?) Goulash Are You Hungarian (?) Goulash
For his sixteenth birthday, my son asked me to make this instead of going out to eat. It was a wise decision! Make it and you'll find out why. We top ours with a bit of super sharp NY cheddar. I always give out warm crusty rolls and a bit of European butter too. Julie McLain -

Vanillekipferl German Sweets Vanillekipferl German Sweets
Vanillekipferls are an essential Plätzchen (German Christmas cookie)! I saw how to make these on TV, then tried out a bunch of recipes, and finally came up with one that I liked.When using refined sugar, in order to make a smooth dough, let it sit overnight.If you don't have vanilla sugar, substitute by scooping out the inside of a vanilla bean and mixing it with powdered sugar. Or, you can mix the inside of the vanilla bean into the dough itself. Recipe by Engel cookpad.japan -
California Farm Chicken Breast Hungarian Pancakes California Farm Chicken Breast Hungarian Pancakes
This is cookpad member Zsofias hungarian meat stuffed pancake recipe made with california farm ingredients. She calls it hortobagyi husos palacsintas. I call it delicious, because it was. Zsofia, köszönöm, thank you.I used the breastmeat from a whole young frozen chicken, deboned, ribs removed, ended up with over a pound of meat, skin included.Note: this recipe calls for paprika paste. There is lots of salt in Hungarian paprika paste, so I did not add salt. And hungarian chicken bouillion cubes called Maggi tyjukhusleves have lots more salt than american cubes, so I used Knorr chicken bouillion.Also, Hungarian flour has 80% more protein than american all purpose flour and 30% more protein than my farm made spelt flour, so I made my 10% protein spelt flour and added 3% protein with wheat gluten powder to arrive at 13% protein hungarian flour.Hungarian sour cream is twice as thick as american sour cream. So I mixed half sour cream with half fresh heavy cream.And, the real secret is the chicken. There are only 900 Hungarian Golden chickens in North America, mostly in Canada, not available for sale, but you can make your own chicken taste like them by soaking your cut up chicken pieces in buttermilk for half an hour.#GlobalApron24 Hobby Horseman -

A Gyoda Speciality: Jelly Fries A Gyoda Speciality: Jelly Fries
I go to eat jelly fries at a speciality restaurant in Gyoda City occasionally since I like them a lot. I wanted to eat them at home too, and after a lot of research I made my own version, which were approved by my kids, who eat them up happily. Eat more okara; it's really good for you!The skim milk is optional! You can use heavy cream or coffee cream instead! Add any of them while the potato is still hot. Adjust the amount of vegetable additions to your taste too. Cover with sauce as soon as they're fried. Use whichever Worcestershire-type sauce you like. For 18 fries.
