Latvia

LATVIA: Buberts

Was going to make a Latvian Honey Cake, but found it quite similar the Flija from Kosovo. For the fruit topping, I used blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.

Big love, as always ❤️

INGREDIENTS:

4 eggs
4 tbs white sugar
4 tbs plain flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
500ml milk
500g raspberries, strawberries or blackberries
2 tbs sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Mix the yolks with sugar and vanilla extract.

Mix the flour with 100ml milk.

Heat the rest of the milk in a medium saucepan on low heat. Once the milk reaches boiling point, add the flour mixture and mix well with the milk. Be careful, as the milk may boil over or burn quite fast.

While constantly stirring, add egg yolk mixture. Then fold in whipped egg whites. Heat for further 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

To prepare the berry sauce, blend the berries in a blender with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar.
To serve, place 4-5 heaped tablespoons of buberts in dessert bowls and pour over the sauce.
