This was the favourite recipe I made for Stoki back in 2020. I had doubled the recipe and it was gone in moments. I should have quadrupled this recipe.
These were the first treats C. and I made for our Stoki Sundays together. We wanted to make a good first impression to celebrate everyone arriving to the school. And who doesn’t love cupcakes?
I have made this for my entire life. Every winter, when lemons are in season,, we would make an enormous batch. It stores exceedingly well because it is so acidic. You can mix in the syrup to your own taste. Don’t let anyone tell you how much is too much. You know yourself.
I always use this for Birthday Cakes. It holds a good from, and takes colouring really well. It is a lot of butter, so don’t go too crazy, otherwise you’ll get bathroom issues. C. just eats the icing, and tries to give the cupcake to whoever is closest.
It's meat in a puff pastry. It's not complicated, and not truly slavic. But everyone, including kids, seems to really like them.
