Food & Recipes from the Alps

Travelling to the Alps, you will enjoy the lovely mountainscape, nice people and of course the lovely food. In this section of our MiaDeRoca-Magazine we will present you typical local recipies. Recipes for things to drink and things to eat, a wide variety of dishes with meat, with vegetabels and the so called "Mehlspeisen". "Mehlspeisen" are dishes with flour, sweet meals like the "Kaiserschmarrn", "Palatschinken" or "Topfenknödel".
You won't be able to get all the traditional ingredients everywhere, but in cases the products are rare, we will mention some alternatives. And if you still doubt, just drop us a line, we will try to help you to get some Alpine savour to your lunch or dinner.

 

Angel Wing Cookies

Cookies, Biscuits and Gingerbread are part of Christmas, as well as the smell of cinnamon, children voices chanting Christmas carols and the soul smoothing burning of candle lights.
Here we have got a very special biscuit recipe for you, with this you can prepare delightful angel wing cookies. And to be sure, that we are not the only one who love this sort of cookies we offered the angel wing cookies to our costumers at the MiaDeRoca shop in Salzburg. They loved it, and some even came back for more - more sweet cookie delight and more cookie cutters and other wonderful MiaDeRoca products.

Cookie dough:
300g flour
200g butter (cold)
150g sugar
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (if none available, you can use mix half self-raising flour, half normal flour)
1 package vanilla sugar (2-3 teaspoons)

Icing:
250g powder sugar
the juice of 1 lemon

Mix all ingredients rather quickly, if you want to you can cool the dough a little (it is easier to roll and cut this way). Roll out the dough and cut the cookies. Bake the cookies at 180 degrees for about 15min in the oven. In the meantime mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to a smooth icing. Wenn the biscuits are ready, take them out of the oven, let them cool a little and then cover them in lemon icing.


Have fun Baking!

You can use the cookie dough for prince cookies, princess or winter sports biscuits as well.
