Sandy cookies with nut filling

The Polish recipe book calls these cookies "nut horns" apparently because of the shape they are shaped into. But to me, the cookies look a bit like sausage rolls - whipped proteins with nuts instead of cottage cheese are placed on a base of sand dough. The cookies turn out very tasty - your hand is just reaching for the plate. I had more meringue than I needed for the cookies, so I just baked the rest in the oven, which was also very tasty.

The cupcake turns out moderately sweet and crumbly. I leave it in a tightly sealed container overnight, and in the morning it turns into a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth dessert.

Turkish bagel simit

«To the Turks, simit – what baguette is to the French. It's not just a bread. It's a way of life. They start their mornings with simit, they eat simit at noon and get a good energy boost... Crunchy sesame, slightly sweet browned crust, incredibly tender «creamy» crumb – for the sake of simit, it is worth it to mess with the dough! Especially since the process is not very long and complicated.

Cinnamon braid

The dough is very quick to prepare, the only skill required is to roll the roll into a braid and a ring. But even that is harder to describe than to do. The dough is moderately sweet and moderately fluffy, but flavorful and tender. In general, for a family tea party – very worthy company.
