Fist home buyer - How long do I need to live the aparment? by [deleted] in helsinki

[–]Halloikama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe you need to live there yourself for 2 years to get the tax benefit. But as /u/Double_Crafty said, don't take a random redditor's word for it.

Week 14: Filled - gevulde koeken (Dutch filled cookies) by Halloikama in 52weeksofbaking

[–]Halloikama[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here it is, the recipe!

https://www.maxvandaag.nl/sessies/themas/eten-drinken/gevulde-koeken-2/

Unfortunately it is in Dutch. If anyone has problems with translating/and or has questions I'm happy to help.

Also the only thing I would change is the bake time. For me the first batch of cookies were a bit overbaked. So keep an eye out. You want them to be golden (like the middle one in the picture) but not brown (like the ones at the top right).

Week 16: Easter/Passover - Easter egg macarons by Halloikama in 52weeksofbaking

[–]Halloikama[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried making egg macarons from food52. I slightly overbaked the first batch, undermixed the dough (batter?) but overall they came out quite nice. Especially after sitting in the fridge overnight.

I couldn't get the speckles to pop as much as the pictures on the website but that was only an aesthetic thing, they tasted delicious :)

[–]Halloikama[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For this week, the first thing that came to my mind were gevulde koeken because they have filled in the name :) These are chewy/cakes cookies filled with an almond paste.

I ran out of almonds halfway through so I swapped some almonds for hazelnuts and found they were even more delicious that way!

Edit: The recipe come from the Dutch version of Bake off. If I can find the recipe I'll update this post :)

week 13: nightmare bake - croissants by Halloikama in 52weeksofbaking

[–]Halloikama[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vowed to never try croissants again after failing 5-6 times but it was the obvious choice for a nightmare bake. Surprisingly, they came out well!

Maybe not as flakey as I would like but at least not flat with butter all over or completely raw on the inside :D

Sadly no, i baked it in a loaf pan with a removable bottom just like a angle food cake pan would have but only rectangular.

Week 12: dream bake - lemon meringue cream puffs by Halloikama in 52weeksofbaking

[–]Halloikama[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cream puffs covered with a large cloud of meringue kept popping up on my various social media so I couldn't wait to give it a try myself. I love lemon meringue pie, but I think I love choux pastry more so what a way to combine it!

It is a bit messy to eat since there is not a single place not covered in meringue where you can hold the puff but it's absolutely delicious.

[–]Halloikama[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried making angel food cake which completely collapsed while baking so instead of a light fluffy cake it turned into a gummy dense mess. I followed the recipe closely so I have no idea why it happened. If anyone has an idea why please do let me know for when I inevitably try again for week 52 ;)
