Unfortunately, I did not have much luck -- i didn't have any self-rising flour and so tried the baking powder/flour combination. The cake didn't rise at all, plus got stuck to the bottom of the pan and wouldn't come off during the flipping process. It was not so much a cake or even a pancake but what i would refer to in our mothertongue as a 'plönn.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1136986860568526572006-01-11T15:41:00.000+02:002006-01-11T15:41:00.000+02:00Kat&Satoshi and Kalyn - thanks!J - I really liked ...Kat&Satoshi and Kalyn - thanks!<BR/><BR/>J - I really liked the Christmassy red of this cake, and it was very tasty, too. <BR/><BR/>Niki - we have a similar taste in cookbooks:) There are many other recipes I've bookmarked in there, just have to find the time to try them. The Turkish 'pizza' is at the top of my list too. I should probably try 3 different recipes at once (Nigella's, Casa Moro's and the one in Claudia Roden's Arabesque) and have my Turkish flatmates testify which one is most authentic:)<BR/><BR/>Paz - I'm sure you can get most of the ingredients in NY, and a tatin dish would be helpful as well (thou not essential!)<BR/><BR/>Anthi - greetings to SF! So your Greek journey is over for this time? I haven't used mastic in my cooking yet, but have a small packet in my cupboard and will definitely use it for tsoureki come Easter. Thanks for reminding me!<BR/><BR/>Joey - sorry to hear you can't find cranberries for this in your part of the world:( <BR/><BR/>Keiko - thanks, I did have a great time with my family and friends. <BR/><BR/>Zoubida - I haven't tried pineapple upside down cake, and a caramelly version sounds delicious. Any chance of a recipe?Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1135633305128624192005-12-26T23:41:00.000+02:002005-12-26T23:41:00.000+02:00Hello Pille,Yest an other delicious looking cake.....Hello Pille,<BR/>Yest an other delicious looking cake... :-)<BR/>I love its look.

Even just reading it feels so comforting. My friend made the Granny Boyd biscuits last Christmas and they were fantastic. You wouldn't think so from looking at the austerity of the ingredients, but theyr'e a great example of something being greater than the sum of their parts. <BR/>I've been wanting to make the schneken for ages, plus the lahmakoun and other yeasted things, now I've overcome my yeast issues.Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724833882784937754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1135311830606097052005-12-23T06:23:00.000+02:002005-12-23T06:23:00.000+02:00hi pille, what a fabulously christmassy cake! it r...hi pille, what a fabulously christmassy cake! it really is very pretty; an sure it tastes even better than it looks, if that's possible!Joycelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620313183747360569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1135309768003747982005-12-23T05:49:00.000+02:002005-12-23T05:49:00.000+02:00Just lovely.Just lovely.Kalyn Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.com
