Frozen Yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon rind (grind)
To make this simple as could be, combine the first 3 ingredients in stainless steel saucepan over medium heat and stir well. You can add a pinch of salt then let the mixture cool.
When cooled, combine mixture with yogurt and chill this for 2 hours. Afterwards, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, slowly put in the yogurt mixture and chill until when you’d like to have your frozen yogurt. Top with your favorite fruits.
Honey and lemon, though I use them mostly for my face (lols) goes well with yogurt, not to mention both are healthy additions!

Doughnuts by request
There are a lot of baked goodies that son1 would request from time to time. I could easily make almost all of them except for doughnuts…I found this recipe from youtube but I changed it a slightly. My dilemma was I deep fried it instead of baking so maybe it was not a good idea after all. The next time my son requests for donuts, I’ll bake this.
Ingredients:
1 egg
3/4 cup castor sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup of milk
50g melted butter
2 cups plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
Glaze:
chocolate bars
white chocolate bars

1. In a bowl beat eggs using a hand mixer. Put in castor sugar, vanilla extract, milk and melted butter. Mix well.
2. Fold in flour and baking powder into the egg mixture and mix again, when it gets tough to mix, use a wooden spatula. Let the dough sit in half an hour or so.
3. Heat up oil for deep frying.
4. Flour surface (table or countertop) and flatten dough…not so thick so that they cook easily.
5. Shape your doughnuts, I use a small glass to shape the doughnut and I make use of a piping tip for the small hole.
6. When oil is hot enough, drop dough one by one, just when there’s enough space for them. Flip after 30-40 seconds using a wooden stick. If you think that they aren’t cooked through leave for some seconds more.
7. Let oil drip, leave doughnuts on cooling rack.
To make glaze:
I make glaze out of laziness; simply melt the chocolates and dip the dough one by one. You can add color to the white chocolate too, I made use of matcha powder for it. Decorate with assorted candy sprinkles. Serve.

Mohr im Hemd
Mohr im Hemd is an Austrian dessert of chocolate cake pudding served with hot chocolate and whipped cream and most of the time, ice cream. Its basic ingredients are chocolate, bread crumbs, sugar, egg yolks, almonds and red wine and has the shape of a small Guglhupf but the above form is acceptable too. ^_^ Like the plum pudding, it is cooked in water bath, doused with hot chocolate sauce and garnished with whipped cream and some berries of your choice.
Mohr im Hemd means moor in a shirt. The term Moor (black man) is used only rarely, and today – often perceived as negative – because of its colonial and racist partial use. The dessert is so named because the whipped cream is often put on top of or around the cake…pertaining to being worn.
For this post, I don’t have a recipe to share as this was something that son1 asked me to buy prepared, I only did the heating and plating…He loves this dessert to bits and I won’t say no either — you know how I’ve always said Austrian cakes are sour…this one is an exception.

Candy Sprinkles
One of the best way to bond with kids is baking, it’s an enjoyable activity for my kids, at least. They love to put tins, crack eggs, measure the ingredients, mix the batter, watch them in the oven as they “grow.” But I think the most they’d like to do is to frost and put those sprinkles.
I’ve bought some edible pearls and colorful sprinkles. We’d be baking again today.

Craving for…
Mochi. Those molded Japanese rice cakes of various colors following its flavor and ingredients. This came from seeing my photos of the ginataang bilo bilo we cooked at mom-in-law’s place. Those are glutinous rice balls cooked in coconut milk added with tapioca pearls, jackfruit strips, cubed sweet potatoes and plantain banana. Hubby specifically requested for this dessert. She taught me how it’s done. 
Since glutinous rice flour is the same ingredient used for making bilo bilo (balls) and mochi, I thought that it’s possible for me to make them at home too.
So the little boy was more than willing to help. He enjoys everything that can be done in the kitchen…baking, stirring soup, setting the timer, putting muffin paper into baking tins and most of all, eating. So here, his hands are full of glutinous rice flour that he’s making into balls.
We’ll soon make mochi.

Sweets
pick!
From the last entry you saw two of our main dishes, that’s actually the only photos I got because we were seated round a table, I can’t take photos of the other plates and I was too lazy to stand up and go around their part of the table. 
The photo above is a setup by the restaurant’s entrance we didn’t have that elaborate set of utensils on our table though…
apfelstrudel
The S’Baggers experience will not be complete without dessert. Like the main dishes, the names are new to me…not for being Franconian but because they weren’t the usual dessert names you see on a menu.
My daughter got a dessert called Unser Beitrag für eine bessere Welt – very unusual name indeed as it translates to Our share for a better world…perhaps it’s their version of the world would be better with good food. It’s a combination of Apfelstrüdel and Topfen (quark cheese) Strüdel with vanilla sauce. She doesn’t like quark cheese so she gave it to her grandma which she gladly had. Dawty ordered another for take home and shared it again with mom-in-law.
Both boys got strawberry ice cream, made from fresh strawberries. It was named A Erdbeereis direggd in die Wafflll, strawberry ice cream in wafer. The cup is edible and both boys went eating theirs all by themselves. Hubby and I were too full for desserts…
