Sklandrausis - Preparation

Preparation

Potato filling: boil the potatoes and grind them, add salt and melted butter, sour cream and egg. Carrot filling: prepare just like the potatoes, only instead of salt add sugar. Dough: mix the ingredients and make dough. Flatten it and with a bigger round object (a mug, for instance) cut out the round pieces approximately 10–20 cm in diameter. Then turn up the edges of the pieces of dough (1 cm). Place the prepared dough pads on an oiled baking pan and fill them with a thin layer of the potato filling and then put the thicker layer of the carrot filling on the potato paste. Bake the pies in the medium heated baking oven until the dough becomes dry and the carrot filling grows light brown. Serve with milk and honey or with skābputra.

Famous quotes containing the word preparation:

    It’s sad but true that if you focus your attention on housework and meal preparation and diapers, raising children does start to look like drudgery pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you see yourself as nothing less than your child’s nurturer, role model, teacher, spiritual guide, and mentor, your days take on a very different cast.
    Joyce Maynard (20th century)

    With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Living each day as a preparation for the next is an exciting way to live. Looking forward to something is much more fun than looking back at something—and much more constructive. If we can prepare ourselves so that we never have to think, “Oh, if I had only known, if I had only been ready,” our lives can really be the great adventure we so passionately want them to be.
    Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
