FoYo

A good friend and former yoga student of mine presented me these two a few years back.
It makes me smile each time I bring them back out for Easter 🐣 and get to enjoy their lovely and 🙏🕉️

Today is a Danish carnival similar to Halloween. Kids will dress up and join parties. In Danish this day is called “Fastelavn” and originally it marked the beginning of a 40 day fast. Today no one is fasting, but we’ve chosen to stick to the party 🎉 😜.

This pastry is one of the pastry’s traditionally made for this carnival. My version has lost of raspberry, but my mom always makes them with pure whipped cream and chocolate icing on top.

Raspberry “vandbakkelser”:

125g/4 oz butter
2,5 deciliter/ 1 cup water
125 g/0.5 cup all purpose flour
3 large eggs

Bring butter and water to boil. Add flour (I used a whisker). Allow to cool down for about 15 minutes before adding 1 egg at the time.
Turn on oven to 200 degrees celsius/420F.

Arrange dough on a baking sheet using spoons or a piping bag to create 12-15 tops.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.

For my filling I used whipped cream mixed with homemade raspberry jam and a sprinkle of dark chocolate.
Finally, add icing on the top. My icing was made of powdered sugar, water and raspberry sauce.

Have you ever been to a yoga studio that makes you feel like YOU are absolutely special?
Today I took my first class with Kobra and it was the most wonderful and relaxing yoga experience I’ve had in a very long time. The love, authenticity and beauty in this place makes it so unique and special.
And... after class I was offered fresh strawberries, chocolate and a cold towel infused with lavender aroma 😃🤩🙏🌹🕉💕.
