This week in the kitchen: There is nothing better than real butter!
26-08-2011

Summer came and is almost gone, I wandered here and there, visited a nice music festival took several short trips to the mountains, and finally returned to Sofia.
My kitchen caught cobwebs, but I am intending soon to sweep them away ;)
Meanwhile, I baked a few things in other people kitchens.

Last week I lied my Facebook friends through several pictures that I am baking;)
Friends, it′s true, I baked a plum pie and a cake "Agnes".


During my vacation, I found time to look in my mother’s old  cookbooks and found a recipe for the so famous, in the recent past, cake "Agnes". So far I have never tasted it, but I have heard a lot of superlatives about it from a friend. To my surprise it  turned out to be quite easy to prepare.
Plum pie is another story. Ever since, I was in the United States and for first time I tried cherry pie, I′m its biggest fan. And how not to be, when  first – it is prepared very easy and with any fruit according to the  season, even with pumpkin during the winter, second - if you get into a good butter, you will achieve a pie crust that will be melting into the mouth and third - topped with ice cream or custard cream makes it suitable for most fine dining.
The common thing between the two desserts is the butter - real nice butter beaten from real cows′ milk. It is very difficult to find a good butter produced in Bulgaria. I  usually bye German, because I regretted the few times I′ve bought Bulgarian . It is with large water content, which is disastrous when you want to make shortbread dough, which melts in your mouth.
Another thing in common is that both should be served at least one day after they are taken out from the oven. Then both are most delicious. To keep them overnight requires great effort. To avoid disappointment, it is best to pre-warn your people that you bake now, but they will eat tomorrow. After dessert is baked, leave it to rest at a place which is not visible for everybody – cupboard or different room. However, if this does not help, show some mercy and cut a piece for the buddies, but tell them that it’s their responsibilities.


Ok, so now you know everything, go out  for some plums and real butter and enjoy your baking!
