Cinnamon Rolls and Ensaymada or Friendship Bread

Thanks to SPIRIT for providing the background music.  This video shows friendship bread (which I think is the recipe for Ensaymadas) and how to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. One IMPORTANT step that is missing from the videos is to sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top after spreading butter and before rolling into a tube. The topping is not shown on the video, but the recipe is included.

This page has been repeated two times, for each of the above recipes.

This is a 10 minute video of a cooking class given aboard the Holland America MS Rotterdam on our way back from Spain.

Spaetzle

This is classically served with veal. See my recipe for Braised Veal Shank at least a day before starting this recipe.  Alternately, this is good when served as a side for schnitzel.

INGREDIENTS

STEP BY STEP

  1. Grate nutmeg, salt and pepper into flour
  2. Create well in center of flour and put in two eggs and a splash of milk
  3. Mix and incorporate slowly adding more milk if necessary.
    Final batter should be almost like a pancake batter.
  4. Put large-holed colander over a pot of barely boiling water – slightly more than simmering though
  5. Pour the batter into the colander allowing batter to drop into the boiling water below.
  6. Push through all batter using a spatula as a pusher.
  7. The squiggles will cook through in 2-3 minutes.  When they rise to the top they are done.
  8. Strain and plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
  9. Strain WELL and pour out on a platter or onto a towel
  10. Here they will rest about 5 minutes or more and absorb any water on the surface of the spaetzle.
  • Serve with seasonal veggies.
  • Bake the harder veggies
  • Blanch softer veggies
  • When your meat is about done, fry your spaetzel in HOT EVOO or clarified butter in a stainless steel pan
  • Sautee mushrooms if you have them.  Better over-done than under-done.
  • Top with grated Parmesan cheese
