Easy Sweet Snack to Greet Spring Time

Hej!

It has been a long time since I posted my last blog. I am most thrilled that this week is the first week of spring, here in Sweden. Although the first day of spring was quite disappointing since it was freezing cold with wind and snow, these past two days have been awesome. The sun was shining bright and I could see little baby flowers on the green patches. I was walking down the street just outside Ullevi with my boyfriend and we were so happy to see yellow flower buds on the pedestrian ways.

The lovely weather in Gothenburg got me feeling a little bit more excited to make sweet munchies than before. That is why today, I baked a simple and easy snack to greet spring time. I call it “Mini Napoleon Puffs”

Prepare the ingredients nicely :)

Ingredients (for 12 Puffs) :

3 sheets of Puff pastry

2 tablespoons of Almond

1 egg, whisked

Strawberry jam

Nutella / chocolate spread

1 banana

Method :

1. Preheat oven with 175C, using top and bottom heat.

2. Roll the puff pastry until 2mm thin, cut into 7.5cm x 7.5cm squares.

3. Brush puff pastries with egg, top with sliced almond.

4. Put puff pastries on a baking paper on a baking pan, put it in the oven, bake for 20 mins.

Looking at them puffing is always exciting!

5. Take out all of the baked pastries, wait 10 mins until it is not too hot.

Woohoo! They came out nice and golden.

6. For the first six puffs, separate the puff pastries, spread half with strawberry jam on one side, put the other half on top.

Yum! Strawberry Jam!

7. Separate the rest of the puffs, spread with Nutella / chocolate spreads and sliced banana on one side, put the other half of the puff on top.

Classic chocolate banana is always a great combo!

8. (Optional) Garnish with powdered sugar.

9. Enjoy!

There you go! Your sweet snack is ready for you to enjoy the blooming day! :D

*PS. For today, I also made special dinner for my boyfriend and me with Svensk Köttbullar, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Brunsås on the menu. Here is the sneak peek.

Should I share this recipe ?

No more after five, part 1 : Belajar di Swedia

Hi! It's been one heck of a rollercoaster journey since I arrived in Sweden to study. Since the journey is so challenging yet exciting at the same time, I don't even know where to start to write about my story as an international student here. Since this information might be more helpful for you, my fellow Indonesian, who wants to study abroad (especially in Sweden), I am gonna write in Bahasa this time (this is time for you to learn Bahasa Indonesia, my dear fellow Chalmerists :p). Oke! Kita mulai ya! Biar topiknya tersusun agak rapi dan nggak membingungkan, mungkin saya bagi tulisan ini menjadi beberapa bagian ya! Itu pintu masuk kampus tercinta. Tapi gedung Titis is 20 menit jalan kaki dari situ :( Belajar di Swedia Belajar di Swedia adalah pilihan pertama saya (dan satu satunya pilihan saya) sebelum saya memutuskan untuk daftar LPDP. Sebenarnya untuk mendaftar kuliah di Swedia itu nggak terlalu sulit dan nggak ribet karena sistemnya semua sudah terint...

Jogja Berhati Mantan : Versi Titis

Diawali dengan slogan Jogja, Jogja Berhati Nyaman. Ada yang punya ide untuk membuat beberapa tulisan yang menggunakan plesetan dari slogan itu menjadi Jogja Berhati Mantan. Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya baca artikel tentang Jogja Berhati Mantan klik di sini dan ada juga di sini yang sukses mendefinisikan Jogja secara relevan. Dari artikel itu saya juga jadi pengen nulis tentang Jogja versi saya, perantau dari kota sebelah yang pindah ke Jogja 6 tahun yang lalu. Prolog. 9 April 2010. Keputusan untuk pindah ke Yogyakarta merupakan keputusan yang tidak sulit, karena saya sudah sering ke Yogyakarta hanya untuk main atau keperluan keluarga. Namun saya tidak pernah sesungguhnya memahami, mengapa kakak saya yang sudah lebih dahulu pindah ke Yogyakarta di tahun 2002 jadi jarang pulang ke rumah dan memilih untuk tinggal di Jogja, bahkan ketika libur. Hari itu saya pindah ke yogyakarta dengan alasan akan mengikuti kelas khusus persiapan ujian ...

Growing Up with The Delusional Giants

I am writing this blogpost without any specific intention as in : I am not hoping for any kind of sympathy, help, or anything, since now I am doing just fine. I just feel like writing is one of numbers of ways to express and to let go of things. However, as usual, you are always welcome to drop a comment or question if you want to. Here is a blog about how it feels like to grow up feeling small at most times. Yes, I am tiny in size. I won't deny the truth that I can still fit in my junior high school uniform last time I tried it during summer break (my fellow Indonesians : what I mean is that legendary plaid Tarakanita uniform hehehe). *** If you happen to know me during my childhood until high school, I would guess that you might noticed that other than being tiny, I am different in one other prominent thing : skin. I am fortunate enough to be healthy at most times, but I have severe allergies on my skin which makes it easily hurt by just insect bites or accidental...
