This morning I baked the springerle that had been drying overnight and then dashed out the door to spend the day with my sister. She had an appointment a couple of hours away and we did a little shopping on the way. Included was a quick stop at Goodwill where we found several treasures including this milk glass plate so I thought I would take a quick picture with it while it was still at my house. The plate is larger than it appears in this picture. It is nearly 13 inches across.
The cookies were flat when I put them in the oven and while in the oven they raised up (unevenly) creating a little "foot" on the bottom which reminds me of the foot on a macaron. Looking at pictures of the springerle that accompanied the recipes I was researching I noted that those ones were similarly uneven. They have good flavor, kind of chewy with a hint of anise. Fun to do something new.
Delicious...and you always find the best treasures at goodwill.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. And I think half the secret of thrift store shopping is visiting often enough, kind of a being in the right place at the right time. My sister and mom and I have started stopping pretty regularly and we usually find something. Sometimes it is a great item at a great price. We are often on the look out for interesting items for my daughter's 'inventory' but occasionally something that is just for me. My daughter is a milk glass fan. She hasn't been here to see that plate in the picture but if she likes it will probably find its way to her stash. :) If not, i will use it.
DeleteThey sure turned out pretty, even though they did not stay flat. Love your find at Goodwill. Nice way to start the New Year. xoox Su
ReplyDeleteThanks Su. One of the other things that we are always looking for is brass items, another favorite of my daughter. We found some unusual brass pieces that same day.
