hmm yummy, I have tasted gingerbread few times, they are very tasty indeed. If Queen served it for special guest, guess this one is special for Steem users :)
I am not the best cook, so I will not share my recipe as it is simple omelet... but I must share this link of traditional Lithuanian Christmas dish. I've never heard that someone would do it anywhere else in the world, but for me Christmas witout Poppy milk is not Christmas. So make sure to try to make it :D
This was not for the prize. I just thought it is a good place to promote Lithuania and this interesting dish :) I might make it before the Christmas. Will let you know :D
I like there one with the bite out of it!!
For you @meesterboom, you get the whole cookie. In fact better yet, you get a baker's dozen!!
Hehe, smashing!
Yummy :) Would you mind sharing recipe as well?

old family recipes, how cool is that... thanks for sharing! Do you have picture of this cookie, how it looks when ready?!
No I don't, they suffer immediate extinction in my presence. Mom, 86, rolls them in the traditional "wreath" shape as shown in this source, about 2 to 3 inches across. Occasionally garnished with christmas fruit but I prefer them without. http://scandinavianfood.about.com/od/cookierecipes/r/Norwegian-Berlinerkranser-Cookies.htm
Thanks for the link! Happy holidays! 😊
