JAMIE'S "SWEDISH" BLUBERRY BUNS

this evening I've just had one of those nights when you crawl up in the armchair, all tucked in with a blanket, and the laptop on your knees...reading insiring blogs, looking at beautiful pictures, and watching nice videoclips & streamings..

I wish there were more of you reading this blog, cause that would make me more motivatd to do somthing about it. right now it's a mess, and so are these buns, but man, am I gonna eat them...one day..

American Pancakes á la Natalie

source

the other day (saturday) i went for brunch at my friends annas place (see pictures a couple of posts down)...
Natalie came over and did the most amazing american pancakes I've ever eaten! usually I think they're too fluffy and heavy, but these were so great!, so I had to get the recipe, and here goes:

mix:
3,5 dl of flour
2 teaspoon spoons of baking powder
½ teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of vanilla-sugar
(if you want, some lemon cest)

then, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, and mix it with the flour-mix and 2½ dl of milk, and 1 egg..

fry, eat, enjoy!!

peanutbutter cups

watching the royal wedding on tv, i needed to have something nice to eat to it ..
I decided to try to make my own peanutbutter cups, delicious!!!!
and really simple


I just melted some dark chocolate that I painted the paper-cups with, quite a thick layer..
then I melted (or just made it a bit softer) peanutbutter and butter..and then crushed some digestive-crackers (the recipe said grahamcrackers but we dont really have that in sweden so..)..and mixed with the peanutbutter-mix..then i put a spoon of this mix in every chocolate-painted cup, finsihed of with chocolate on top of the cups, and then put them in the fridge for an hour!!

lentilsoup with saffron, potatoes & white wine

i just have to share with your this fantastic recipe I came up with once.
well i dont know if it's really a recipe, I never use measures, but anyway..

the picture doesn't show the real soup, but it looks kind of the same..

for 3-4 portions (thought I eat it all after and hour or two)
you need:
a couple of potatoes, 3-4 maybe
maybe 3 dl of red lentils
saffron
a splash of white wine (0.5 dl maybe)
rosemary, salt, pepper, chilipowder
fresh lemonjuice
½ onion (i usually use yellow, but you could probably use red onion if that's what you have..or charlottes)
1 mediumsized clove of garlic
cream (half a dl maybe)
vegetable-stock

so start with chopping the onion, and the potatoes to in pieces...fry them in oil together with the saffron (you DON'T need alot, half a teaspoon maximum) and press the garlic or chop it finely...
stir all the time, and pour the wine over it..let it soak in and I guess it will kind of start boiling, so put the lentils (with about 1 dl of water), the lemon and the potatoe pieces in there..stir and put some salt, pepper rosemary and chili in there..
let it simmer for a minute, then pour about 1 L of stock or water (i usually boil it in the boiler first to make it boil faster) with a bouillon-cube...
let it boil for about 7 minutes, then put the crema in and let it boil for yet some minutes. it usually takes about 10 minutes for the lentils and potatos to get soft..just taste it and see...

then i usually use a mixer to make it smoother, but it's not necessery..

I usually eat it with a spoon of créme fraiche/sour cream, and some nice bread
