OK, so this is really Danish Braid, yet again … except that it’s not, really.
This evening we’ve been to a dinner party at my PhD Supervisor’s house, and I wanted to bake something to go along with Indian food. So, this is the same recipe, basically, except that we’ve added about 1 Tbsp of Garam Masala instead of the measly little teaspoon I added last time. I figured that the spices would help this to match with Indian food. We’ll see.
Some of these are ginger-apple filled, and some are chocolate filled. Sadly, because of our gimpy oven, most of the chocolate ones were a bit overdone (they were on the top rack, and the oven door doesn’t close all the way, so the top gets too hot while the bottom stays cool). Most of them turned out just fine, though, and were an good accompaniment to dinner.
Our train back was cancelled (mechanical problems) so we had to wait around at the station for an extra half hour, and the queue for taxis was immense, so we ended up taking a bus. Waiting for the bus with the Tartan Army was quite … an experience. The football match between Scotland and Norway resulted in a tie, so people are … confused. They weren’t drinking to celebrate, they weren’t drink to lament, so … they were just drinking as if it were another Glasgow Evening.
Now, it’s 12:30 a.m., and high time we were in bed!

That’s too bad about your oven, but they still look a zillion times better than anything I could do!
I love the idea of garam masala in the dough–I’d never thought of that! They look delicious.
And thanks for the link/yaay about going vegan! It’s a huge step, and don’t feel bad about needing to cheat every now and then. Food should be fun, not just dogma. 🙂
Sarah: I’m certain that you could do these – they’re really really easy! Basically: make up a sweet dough, fold it over a couple times with butter in the middle, and then shape it around some filling or other. No problem at all!
Jes: Yeah, we'll probably break down & eat cheese from time to time, and I know that I have a weakness for soft-boiled eggs. But … it's probably not going to come into our house, so it'll only be when we're eating out somewhere, if then. We'll see.
