Do you like waffles or pancakes? Then you may enjoy Japanese pancakes. They are light and airy, similar to a soufflé, but in pancake form. Japanese seem to like cloud-like food. They also have a cotton cheesecake and will not shy away from a fluffy sponge roll. You may serve these pancakes with fresh fruits, whipped cream, icing sugar, maple syrup and they will be perfect for breakfast or brunch. The only downside is that you need to serve them very fresh as the tend to deflate after a while.
Are you in the mood for super fluffy buns that are big and bold and taste like brioche kissed by chocolate chips? Then look no further, these chocolate chip buns are for you. They can be served as they are, but will also taste amazing with some butter. I am sure that this will be a huge hit for any breakfast table.
I just realized that I don’t have that many recipes here on the blog that remind me of my childhood. This probably has to do with the fact that we moved so much. I was born in Uruguay, then we spent three years in the U.S, came back to Uruguay before we finally settled in Germany. Needless to say that my four grandparents all have a German passport, however, all of them were born in the former Soviet Union. Thus, our food and dishes were influenced by a lot of different cultures. Dear to my heart is the Uruguayan cutlet called milanesa, I also love the Russian Napoleon cake, the meat dumplings pelmeni, wareniki or Polish pirogi. I also wouldn’t say no to Ukranian Easter bread named paska. Just recently I tried one of the many peppermint cookies from my grandma she has many recipes for. In this mix of cultures and dishes I am going to throw in a new one, Russian-German twoiback or double buns. You can think of brioche, it is a very soft dough with butter and you will see two balls that are attached to each other. My sister described them as an unfinished snowman. I couldn’t have said it any better.
Have you ever eaten pumpkin waffles? I hadn’t, I know, shame on me. But this year I somehow got into the pumpkin haze. So I cecked out Pinterest and found a lot of different recipes. Finally I encountered the recipe below and bam, I was hooked. These pumpkin waffles are super fluffy, I love that they are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and tall and thick. I think they can be served either for breakfast, but also as a nice dessert.
