]]> Comment on Bullar by Joyce http://lucypick.com/2007/12/09/bullar/#comment-464 Joyce Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:07:25 +0000 http://lucypick.com/2007/12/09/bullar/#comment-464 Being American but of 100% Swedish descent, I was in search of a new bullar recipe. My Mother made the best bullars and I wish I had taken the time to learn all her secrets. I remember a few... She did say that she preferred using cake to dry yeast. Also, she would never use pre-ground cardamom, but used a brass mortar and cup to crush the seeds. She is right--the taste cannot be compared. I "Googled" bullar and found your blog at the top of my search. Monday night I made a batch using your recipe. They rose as they should have despite a wee mistake I made combining the ingredients. After returning from Christmas break, I shared bullars with teachers in my lunch room and the response was all positive. Thanks for sharing yours with me.

I have always wanted to learn more about the plot around Lincoln's assassination. Marvel Roger: Can't wait to see what you have put together after your many (is it over 10 now?) years of research that enabled you to look deeper into this period of our history and especially into this most dysfunctional family!

(If I do say so myself) The dough is very easy to work with. I like them because they are not too sweet. These are very, very good. (If I do say so myself) The dough is very easy to work with.

They turned out okay, but not fantastic like I had hoped. Maybe next time I will try your recipe! By the way, I'm one quarter Swedish as well, but I like to be Swedish the whole year round!

I don't know why witches would; perhaps they can magically prevent themselves from knocking the table over? The rest of my manners I learned from my two aunts, who could kill a man with their combined Icy Glare(s) (tm) of etiquette judgment.
