The Cinnamon Bun Day...

Yes we do have a day called that lol!The 4th of October everybody eather make them or buy them at the bakery...And of course I had to make some..







this recipe makes around 20..

25g yeast
3dl of milk
75g butter
100 g sugar
a pinch of salt
8dl flour
1 tbs ground cardemom

Filling:
50 g butter
1dl sugar
2tbs cinnamon
raisins
Glaze:
1 egg
Pearl sugar or 0,5dl granulated sugar

Crumble the yeast in a bowl and stir in a few tablespoons of milk. Melt the butter and pour the milk on heat up so its fingerwarm. Add the rest of the ingredients and knead the dough in a dough mixer for 10–15 minutes. Let the dough rise while covered at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough so it is about 3 mm (1/8 in) thick and 30 cm (12 in) wide. Spread the room-temperature butter on top. Make a mixture of sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it over the dough,I like to add raisins also;-) Roll the dough the long way and cut the roll into about 25 slices. Place them with the cut edge upward in paper molds. Place on a baking sheet and let rise under a towel for about 60 minutes or until the buns have doubled in size.

Beat the egg, brush it carefully on the buns and sprinkle pearl sugar on top. Bake in the oven (220oC/425oF) for 5–6 minutes.Let it Cool on a rack.

Tomato Salsa

2 kg tomatoes
2 dl olive oil
1 whole garlic, peeled into cloves
A large handful of fresh basil
1 ½ -2 Tbsp. coarse salt
Granulated Glass

Cut the tomatoes over if they are large, Distribute them in the jar, so they are completely full.
Press the tomatoes well. Prop basil and garlic along the sides, sprinkle with salt, pour olive oil over and screw the lids almost entirely on. If you use the right patent glass with rubber tubes they must be closed.Put the filled glass in the oven at 110 degrees and let them stand untill they look like boiled tomatoes(around1,5 hour) . Take out the glasses and screw on the lid tight.. Put them back in the oven and let cool. Patent Glass is just standing in the oven until they have cooled.

PLUM JAM

So I tried a new way of making plum jam and this was really easy & Tastyyyy;-)
The recipe is for one jar,since i didn't know how it was going to turn out..

1 kg of plums split in half
0,5 kg of sugar
1-2dl of captain morgan dark rum
cinnamon
Heat up the owen to 150 degrees celcius & Mix all the ingredients together in a roasting pan.
Have it in the owen for around 1-1,5 hour ,don't forget to stir it around.
Heat up the glass before you put the jam in it to ensure the durability.Let it cool down before you put it in the fridge,,,Enjoy;-)

T-bones

So this is my first time laying down something here, so I figured I start with something I'm very familiar with... Bar-b-que'd Beef :-)...
T bone steaks here in Sweden are quite rare, you may see them in the markets (salu hall) in the big city, or at a fancy restaurant, but it is most likely that you will not be able to find them at your local grocery store...if you do please let me know where that store is.
Anyway earlier this summer I managed to find a butcher who will cut the meat as I like, (Incidentally the meat is also grass fed and Krav marked) well that sounded exciting, so I had a bit of research to do so I could accurately describe what it is that I wanted, mainly because they didn't exactly know what a t bone steak was, and to be honest before all of my research, I just thought it was a big tastey steak, with a 'T' shaped bone in it... duh.. As it turns out a t bone steak is acutally 2 steaks in one, one side the larger is called the 'new york strip', or the strip loin, and the smaller piece comes from the tenderloin.
As you can see in the pic to the left there are clearly 2 pieces of meat separated but the t shaped bone. The only catch to me ordering this steak was that I had to buy that part of the cow, both the tenderloin and the strip loin, all cut up the pile of steaks weighed in at a hefty 8.5kg is quite possibly the single largest beef purchase I've made in my 36 times around the sun...
Now how to cook a tbone...
Cooking the t bone can be a bit tricky as it is actually 2 different cuts of meat which are of different densities, in other words one side cooks faster than the other. If you like a medium rare steak the smaller section will end up well done if your not careful.
I use a charcoal grill, I usuall set up for direct grilling but I'll set my pile of coals mostly to one side of the grill, this allows for a slighty cooler side. I place the steak over the coals trying to keep the smaller side over the cooler section of the grill. The steaks shown in the picture weigh in anywhere between 600 - 800g, which is a bit of a monster, they take about 10-12 minutes for a rare to medium rare steak. As far as seasoning or flavouring the steak I use black pepper and sea salt. This is a tastey steak, but I think my new favourite steak might be skirt steak, but more on that another day.....
thats all for now!
