I have a whole container of almonds and wanted to do something with it. At first I thought I would do something savory or spicy but felt like doing something sweet. So I tried my first brittle --- almond brittle. I first roasted the almonds and made my mixture for the brittle. I had to be fast and measured everything before I started, then I realized I could not find my candy thermometer so I did the dropping the sugar mixture into cold water and made sure it hardened.
It was easy and good recipe except I should have used a bigger pan so the brittle would be a bit thinner than what came out. But all in all the ladies at the office liked it. I even pounded some and put in on top of my vanilla ice cream for dessert that night. And at work today, I put some on my yogurt.
almond brittle - not too sweet, good recipe I got online
I also had puff pastry and wanted to do something with it and again I made something sweet. Cinnamon sugar puff sticks. I really like these.
Cinnamon sugar sticks, goes well with tea or hot chocolate.
I was going to try a new recipe of buttermilk biscuits but I found an old recipe for soft dinner rolls and made that instead. Just after taking it out of the oven I had it with butter and apricot jam. Comforting combination. I actually had a second one.
Yummy soft dinner rolls
I don't know if I will be doing something this weekend since I will be cooking maybe baking too on Easter weekend. But it all just depends on what mood I will be in. Actually, I wanted to make some empanadas so I can bring it for lunch.
