Kugelhof for Nanou
This recipe is emblematic of Alsatian baking, but a more personal version (and a bit richer). August 2nd 2019297 K4.4 3 hours 15 min.
Toasted-flour biscuits
This is a surprising biscuit recipe, in which the flour is not added in its normal state, but gently toasted beforehand in the oven. This light dry-roasting changes the taste considerably, giving these biscuits notes of honey, coffee and even spices. Their distinctive flavour goes very well with either tea or coffee.
