What is your favourite Christmas treat?

[Braveheart]

I'm a slave to the Golden Mistress (butter) whipped into shortbread. We used to milk cows, for cream, and that creamery butter was just different. Almost akin to crack cocaine as just one good hit and you were hooked for life.

Tonight though I will dream of smoked salmon and cream cheese on a cracker with a sprinkle of chives. Yumm.

Rosettes, Lefse, Krum Kakes and especially Lutefisk.

I don't think I have just one.

Pumpkin pie is always a classic. But a good soft shortbread cookie or gingerbread is hard to beat! (Anyone have a nice soft gingerbread recipe?)

And Gramma's mashed sweet potatoes are a legend. None of those marshmallow things.

I'm going to grow up to have excessive eating issues LOL

I make the crispy versions..... Pumpkin pie for Chriistmas? Well....

Pure butter toffee with sliced almonds on top ;-)
Einkorn Swedish flatbread and pancakes. ;-)
Thanks Miss Parsnip... You are very welcome.

Actually, butter tarts(raisin). Matrimonial cake. And just about anything "oatmeal".

I make butter tarts. Soak the raisins in Jack Daniels honey whiskey for a week beforehand....

My neighbour brought me a container of thick farm cream. It's sinfully tasty. Makes the best fudge. She's now in my will..

I do make rosettes... Sprinkle them with icing sugar.

Never heard of it. Or tasted it! Got a recipe for me? pars

I spelled it wrong, should be halvah. It's an israeli or middle eastern treat, many different types. I always buy mine in winkler mb.

Halvah to me is very rich....good with cold milk though...tempers the sweetness. Our local store has some pre-cut and packaged. I remember my parents buying it in about 8x12x2 inch tins. I bought it in about the same size plastic containers. So is it vanilla and vanilla/chocolate marble flavors.

Parsley, I'll get a couple of the packages of Halvah and send them to you... in appreciation of the things you sent me.

Brave, I must say I love to cook and bake. Interesting note for you : Picked small stones on gravelled road last week. Rinsed them. Ran them through the dishwasher. Made an overnight special bread dough. Salt. Water. Yeast. Next morning kneaded it down. Formed it into small chunks. Preheated stones on pan in 500 degree oven. Rolled out hunks. Poked holes in each hunk with wet fingers. Sprinkled on chia and sesame seed. Placed rolled dough on hot stones one minute. Turned it. Baked another four minutes.

Unbelievably interesting taste. Served it at dinner party last week. A hit. Pars
