more)6. apricot jam7. 200 g icing sugar8. vanilla sugar or vanilla pod

Preparation• Mix lard at room temperature with sugar. Add eggs,

and in the end, walnuts. Switch to dough kneaders on your mixer and start adding flour gradually. The recipe states that so much flour should be added "as the dough will soak up", which means a compact mass that doesn't stick to your fingers but is soft nevertheless. Depending on the size of the eggs, this is about 500 g of flour, but be prepared to add some more until the dough looks like mine, pictured above (finish kneading by hand).

• Mix icing sugar with vanilla sugar or cut and deseed the vanilla pod and add it to the icing sugar. We used vanilla sugar when I was little because vanilla pods were unavailable and expensive, but go for the real thing if you can get hold of it.

• Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a shallow baking tray with greaseproof paper. Roll out your dough on a surface dusted with flour so it doesn't stick. The dough should be about 3 mm thick. Take a smallish round form and cut out circles which you should arrange on the tray (no need to space them, they will hardly change during baking) and bake for about 5 minutes, just until they start changing colour.

• Glue two discs with apricot jam and roll them in vanilla icing sugar. Keep in a cookie jar for everyone to enjoy, they will hold for weeks.

PreparationTaste sourness of sour cabbage, separate leaves and if it is necessary pour water over it to reduce acidity and saltness.While cabbage is in the water, fry finely chopped onions in the half of oil, add meat, and fry it too, add salt, add pepper, sprinkle with ground red pepper, dried vegetables seasoning and add rice. All mix and remove from stove.Clean cabbage leaves from thickenings by laminating them, but carefully not tearing the cabbage leaves. On each leaf put of the filling of fried meat and onions, roll cabbage rolls (sarme), first from yourself, then from sides, then again from yourself and place them in suitable cooking pot. It is best to cabbage rolls fit in one layer, but not too tight with one another. Between cabbage rolls put on few places, smoked bacon cut peaces and smoked pork ribs. Crumb laurel leaf and dried red peppers and sprinkle over cabbage rolls.Pour water over all, so the cabbage rolls sinks. At the beginning cook on a high temperature (until water boils), and then at medium temperature for 20 minutes.

• In the other half of oil fry the flour, add a little ground pepper, whisk and all pour over cabbage rolls which are cooking. Shake the pan so browned flour can fine to smear everywhere, and with spoon just a little separate cabbage rolls so the water and browned flour can coalesce with each other into a complete sauce.

• Place dish in pre-heated oven and bake on medium temperature for about 2 hours. Temperature should not exceed 200 °C. If cabbage rolls starts to becoming brown on the surface, cover them with foil, but do not seal them, so it could be able to evaporate. If during the time of cooking all water evaporates, add a little hot water. Cabbage needs to be well and long cooked.

• Finished cabbage rolls remove from the oven and serve with pieces of smoked bacon and pork ribs.

Preparation• If the instant yeast then it is directly used (interfere),

and each 1 / 2 kg of flour, one bag goes dry (instant) yeast. If the yeast, then the following procedure:First, knead the yeast so that the lower court in a jam about 30 g brewer’s yeast, poured the tepid milk, break the lumps and add salt and flour, the dough can be made rarely.The court put the yeast in the not too hot place to bread. While yeast rain, put a kilo and a half of flour to the court for mixing the flour a good warm up next to the stove.

• In another court in paragraph 4 of yolk, 4 tbsp sugar, a piece of butter, yeast, which had previously stood in a little lukewarm water or milk, and all mixed together well. Add the grated rind of lemon, add a little flour slowly and knead the dough by pouring lukewarm milk until the dough like a pie for each of similar composition. When dough begins to separate from the court and it bubbles begin to pop up means that it is enough done. To make it even more dough may be added during mixing in a little melted butter so that the melted butter about 100 g is added during mixing in a bit to dough, oil drench hands and continues stirring. If you knead the dough like this, then the cake will be much wetter and tastier.

Then cover the dough with a clean cloth and leave in a warm place near stove until the dough rise. When the dough has almost filled the court, or when it becomes about twice than when it was mixed. Place dough on a flat board for mixing dough and makes the Slava cake.The appearance of the cake depends on the skills housewives.Cake is made in the form of bread or a round in which the mold is oven. What is important is that the cake be crossed, or has a pattern in the shape of the cross in the middle, and may be mounted wreath of knitted braids of dough that is made by cutting with a small knife.Decoration of the cakes can be made from sour dough, and knead to be especially lean dough without yeast, eggs and milk, and these tests make the cake decorations. Since the test is done everything we want in a house: the birds, which are health and happiness, to cluster the vineyard well-born, that keg in the house everything was in abundance, and the most important decoration is “Poskurica” with an I, S, H, R, N, I, K, A,.

Salčići (Pork fat puff pastry)

Ingredients

• 1/2 kg leaf fat• 3 Tbsp flour• 1 Ts salt

• Dough:

• 1 kg flour• a cube of fresh baker's yeast (35 g)• 3 egg yolks• 4 egg whites• 5 Ts sugar• 1 Tbsp lard• salt (to taste)• 500 ml milk• icing sugar

Preparation• After you've processed the fat, mix it with the three

tablespoonfuls of flour and the salt. Leave in fridge for at least 30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare your dough. Mix the yeast with sugar and warm milk. Add to flour, together with the lard, the salt and the eggs. Save the extra egg-white, you will need it later.

• Knead into a smooth dough and roll out with a rolling pin to shape a big rectangular. Visually divide your rectangular in thirds - spread half of the fat mixture on it, leaving one third (for instance, on the left hand side) uncovered. Then fold this third over the greased middle third, and fold the right hand side third on top of it. Roll out and leave to rest for 20 minutes. Repeat this using the other half of the fat and leave to rest for another 20 minutes.

• At this point, I'd advise you to split the dough sheet in half, because you'll need more space to roll it out thin (c. 5 mm). Cut out 12 x 12 cm large squares and brush the edges with the remaining egg white. Put a dollop of your filling (be it nut, jam or minced meat if you prefer your salčići in savoury disguise) in the middle and fold to make a triangle. Bake on a sheet of greaseproof paper for about 20 minutes at 200° C. While still warm, roll in icing sugar.

Serbian Christmas Bread (Česnica)Ingredients

1. 1/2 l milk,2. 1 packet of yeast,3. 2 eggs,4. pinch of salt,5. flour as needed (about 1

kg),6. silver or gold coin.

Preparation• Dissolve yeast in little lukewarm milk. Beat one egg and add to yeast.

Add salt and stir, gradually adding the flour and pouring the remaining lukewarm milk until you get a smooth dough.

• When the dough is stiff enough, start kneading it. Cover well kneaded dough with a clean cotton canvas cloth and leave it to rise.

• As soon as you notice that dough started to rise, place it onto kneading board and gently knead again. Dough for česnica should not rise completely, only partially – as a Serbian flat bread (pogača) dough.

• Česnica is also shaping same as Serbian flat bread – pogača. While shaping, place a coin inside the dough. If you do not have a silver one, you can put a coin made of some other stainless metal.

• Place česnica into a greased baking pan.• Using edges of a small twig, make some patterns along the top

surface of česnica. Twig of badnjak (similar to Yule log) it usually used. Use a soft brush to spread beaten egg all over patterns and surface area.

• Bake in a preheated oven until česnica gets to be golden brown. The initial oven baking temperature may be higher, but later reduce it.

• Baked česnica wrap in a clean white napkins, leave to stand for a while, and bring to the table while it is still warm.

Sprinkle the flour and paprika powder over the onions and cook for 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and add the pork and the sliced peppers, beef stock, tomato paste, minced garlic, salt, and bay leaf. Stir to mix well.
