Love from the first sight
This is probably a “love from the first sight” for me… the moment that this mouthwatering and flavoursome cookie entered my word, that was it… i was in love with it.
I can recall pleasureful and flavourful memories biting uncountable number of “kourambiedes” that are given as an attendance treat in weddings – it was normal to attend at least a wedding every other weekend if not every weekend when i was a kid – and Xmas’s that were turned white from the icing sugar that was fallen from the cookies – it’s also an official Xmas traditional treat in Cyprus.
About the recipe
And here i am, many years after, still in love… baking them and sharing them with my loved ones… I do bake lot’s of batches of those delicious cookies, around Xmas… Its all about sharing they say, so i do share with friends and family cute little boxes especially crafted with love.
There are many variations of this traditional recipe. The recipe that i am using is probably closer to the Stelios Parliaros version.
I have recorded some variations that i have done from time to time for extra inspiration and creativity. The reason behind those variations is either my creativity flare married with my curiosity (hmm… if i do this and this…what would be the outcome?) and/or the luck of some ingredients.
