Apple strudel cooking class

Oh my goodness what fun. I can’t wait to try it at home. It actually seems pretty straightforward. Now they did already have the dough made because it has to rest a couple hours. But they did give us a tutorial of how to make it.

They also have the apples, peeled and sliced, which I was happy about actually. We all got paired up, which was nice to work as a team.

We add sugar, cinnamon, and raisins to the apples, stirred and set them to the side

The most interesting thing you see said that you had to roll this out paper tablecloth or a large towel and I didn’t understand it first, but it comes down to assembly and how much easier it does. Plus, if you just use your marble countertop, it would stick.

You roll out the dough paper, thin, and from there, you and your partner use the back of your hand and your knuckles and slowly go around and around to get it as thin as possible without holes. The idea is it will be so thin you can read a newspaper.

Then you add breadcrumbs and butter and then your apples and you add apples on 1/3 of 2/3, and then you hold in the side and roll it like a burrito. This is where having the tablecloth comes in handy. Drop it in a pan add butter in the oven.

The class was great with English speaking guide. There were people from all over the world.

We got to make another traditional dessert, which is a soufflé a Norkle

They served us goulash, which was delicious. I bought their cookbook just so I can get the goulash recipe.

And then we got to eat our creations and it was yummyRead more
