Suberek – a recipe from our neighbours the turkish

Easter pancakes
No I haven’t gone mad ;-). I just had to think of something Easter like to cook instead of hot crossed buns this morning (our shopping arrives tonight only). You know my recipe of easy dropped scones? All you have to do is add raisins and cook them! I didn’t have milk either and replace it with sparkling water which makes them even fluffier.

My first pumpkin pie
Last week my husband brought home a huge pumpkin. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture with it but believe I was scared but its size. It must’ve been around 3 kg. So decided to try something new, something I never cooked before – a pumpkin pie , the American type. Of course the pumpkin was way big so I end up making a curry as well.

Ingredients: 1 pumpkin(or big enough to make about 500g of purée) 2 eggs 225g light brown soft sugar 3…
