hi, welcome to the thread! I want cookies!

@BigBlueHen53, I made you some...

When I was little one of the cheap cookies you could buy in the supermarket, called penny wafel, was very popular in our household. However, where I live nobody makes them at home.

Today I searched for a recipe after I could buy the waffle in a small shop for people from the balkan countries. Still didn't find one, however I found a very similar recipe on a serbian website.
So I decided to give it a try to try and make the filling. Which was easier than I thought when I started to search for the recipe.

This is the result... Enjoy

Baked a 3-day cake, my go to recipe when I need to make stuff ahead, you bake it 3 days before you need it, it has 3 layers, and is filled with a mixture of whipped cream and creme fraiche, there is some rum in it, and has 2 chocolate layers, I always add an extra cranberry jam filling, which makes it more tasty ( in my opinion) hubby will be celebrating his birthday with his church friends on Tuesday, and I will need to bake a fresh batch of leek rolls on that day and serve a spread of cheese and ham, and little things like olives and some baguettes ( I admit I bought those and will just shove them in the oven to heat them up), I have so many doctor and physiotherapists appointments this month, I don’t have a lot of time for extra stuff like that

I was eating a delicious rice at a friends home. I decided to ask for the recipe. I was shown the ingredients used, and approximate amounts. My friend is a South of the Border Native. So I will call this.
MEXICO RICE

Here are pictures of ingredients used, and Play by Play.

Rice, 3 tomatoes, 1 onion, ½ bulb of Garlic, and Chicken bouillon.

Purred the veggies

Added the bouillon, 2 level tablespoons, My Puree and water totaled 6 cups, and my rice totaled 3 cups.

I brought the liquid to a boil. The Bouillon is in the liquid already. Once it cooked a short time, I added the rice, and brought it to boil again. Then I covered and let simmer on low flame/heat for 20 minutes.

After I turned off, I left for a while, still covered. (maybe 15 minutes or such)
I then opened cover, and fluffed rice.

Notes.
3 cups of rice made a large family size quantity.
I usually make a 2 cup dry rice portion. Next time I will use 2 tomatoes, possibly smaller onion, same amount of garlic, Same amount of Bouillon and total Liquid,, 4½ cups. (puree, and water)
I used the Parboiled rice since it is what is common in my kitchen. Any other rice would work just as well.

Thanks for the recipe, looks very good.

I will probably cut the recipe too thirds for just the two of us.

They look good.

I went to the Penny Wafel site connected to your message, and it does not give a recipe for them.

If you have a recipe would you share it? OR

If you could explain how to get the recipe from the website?

It would be very helpful.

Yes ofcourse. I have the recipe from a Serbian website so I try to translate it to english here.
I used google translate myself for the website.
It's not a very healthy recipe

Name in Serbian: Plazma Oblande

ingredients:
1.5 Liter Milk / 0.4 Gallon
500 g sugar / 17.5 ounce
70g milkchocolate / 2.5 ounce + a few tablespoons of cacaopowder
1 pack of crispy wafersheets

Cook the milk while stirring, add the sugar and cook until it starts to decrease in volume, keep stirring. this takes approx. 1-2.5hr. ( I later tought, I could have used condensed milk too to speed things up...)

Add the chocolate to the milk/sugar mix and keep stirring for another 30 minutes untill all chocolate is dissolved and the liquid becomes more of a thick paste.

Let it cool of until lukewarm. Spread the mixture onto a wafelsheets, and repeat for the other wafer sheets except the top one, this one is added upside down on top of the pile.

Put something a little heavy on top of the pile (like a bakingplate) to make sure all sheets are on the same height. give it some time to cool down completely.
Cut in pieces in the shape you like. I had rectangles but they make them diamond shape too

The recipe said they ate this as desert. However I had it with coffee and it tasted good too!
Quite sweet to what I'm used to bake/make/eat.

My birthday was on Monday, I made a nice classic chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherry filling. Sometimes it’s nice to just have something simple and delicious!
