I love hearing about the German specialties! You know so many! I so value your experteze! It fills my heart with such appreciation!
:in_love:
(...) Wow! It may almost be an antique at this point! :lol:
:lol: :in_love: Thank you!! I spent the morning preparing Königinnen Pastete- not with the original shells, but with little crisp pieces of puff pastry (that still must get baked in this picture) because our interaction inspired me... and tadaaa, here comes the antique bottle, but it still tastes as it is supposed to! :lol:


(as I did not want to waste the rest of the puff-pastry-dough, I used it to do Pfirsich im Schlafrock ("peach in a dressing-gown")- peaches wrapped into dough, together with jam and Marzipan.

I didn't want to wait until it all will be baked and nicely served :lol: :lol:
It happens to me too with ingredients I don't have many obvious recipe ideas for. I've had lucuma powder, cocoa butter and coconut flour in my kitchen cupboard for many years! :D
:lol: oh I hear you. In my cupboard it's cocoa-nibs, glucose and several spice-blends that I'm not so sure of, after having bought them :lol:

For the coconut flour, it is free of gluten, and you can exchange up to 1/4 of your normal wheat flour with it, without changing anything at the recipe, but it helps if you add more liquids (the cocoflour binds up all moisture!). You also can substitute almond- or hazelnut flour with it by exchanging 1/4 of the weight, but not more, it all will get dry otherwise. It has almost no own taste (a bit to the sweet side).

(smarty-pants has struck again! :muscle-flex-small: ) :lol: :hearts:

oo! how did it taste? :)

I love the phrase: Pfirsich im Schlafrock ("peach in a dressing-gown") - it's such a sweet, creative way of saying the peach is wrapped in pastry! It's one for my phrase appreciation thread :hearts:

Thank you for the tips! :in_love:
I think I may have said this before - but smarty pants people are some of my favourite people. Especially when they use this power combined with the heart of wanting to be helpful :hearts:
