There are many variations on that Kulinarika cooking site, so I feel free to experiment. Yes, I too was accustomed to shaping the dough into long loaves. But this recipe, with all the eggs, makes a batter that is more easily made in a rectangular pan, a suggestion I found in some of those Slovenian recipes. Have fun experimenting.<br />Vesel Bozič in lep pozdrav!

My mother would always bake only two kinds od domači prijatelj, one with walnuts and one with aniseed - and so I've never thought of using other ingredients. Maybe this Christmas I will surprise her with an untraditional version of this once very popular cookie. Or should I call it a "cookie loaf"? You see, usually we shape this cookie dough into loaves and bake them on baking sheet. The loaves are then sliced while still hot. And that's where its (full) name "štručka domači prijatelj" comes from (štručka=small loaf). :)<br /><br />Wishing you lovely holidays - and many greetings from Slovenia!<br /><br /><br />Mayahttp://www.storiesfromemona.comnoreply@blogger.com
