1 Swede, 1 Singaporean.
Both our worlds collided in 2004, and merged in 2009.
Our base is now Sweden, and our centre always Him.
Propelling towards an insanely exciting future!
I baked for the first time yesterday, and I'm glad to report that the pie was well received :D Hehe hi Mum :)
My Mum's here in Sweden visiting, and yesterday we picked redcurrants from the bush in my own garden :D Having grown up eating store-bought pies (since Singaporean climate isn't too conducive for growing berries), there's nothing like eating your own produce :)
Recipe for Redcurrant Pie (as adapted from www.ica.se):
150 g butter 3 dl wheat flour 1 1/2 dl sugar A pinch of salt A pinch of baking powder 6 dl redcurrant berries
Note: 1 dl = 100 ml
1. Pre-heat the oven to 225°C. Melt the butter. Mix all the dry ingredients together and pour in the melted butter. Quickly knead everything together to form the dough.2. Because the dough ended up more crumbly than expected, we tweaked the original recipe slightly - we poured the berries into the pie form first, sugared them, and then sprinkled the dough as crumbs on top of the berries. It ended up working well :)3. Place the pie in the lower part of the oven for approximately 20 minutes. Once brown, allow it to cool, and serve with vanilla sauce or ice cream. Next up - communion bread! Akandatang!
