We've had a lovely weekend. It was an extra long weekend here in Spain. Monday was a national holiday! So people were visiting each other from afar and going for picnics etc.
I made a Dutch apple pie for our friends on Sunday afternoon. My mum taught me to make it.There is a little bit left, I was just about to have a cup of tea. Would you like a piece? Now, now, don't fight!
I posted a photo of it on Facebook this weekend and got several reactions. Mostly people wanting the recipe (Bridget, this is for you).
The dough is made with runny butter and made into a dough. Then, rather than rolled out (it would be too sticky to roll), you push it into place with your hands, and work it up the sides of the mold.
Here is the recipe :
300 gr = 1 and a quarter cup plain flour
125 gr = half a cup sugar
200 gr butter = 0.9 cup (nearly one)
100 gr = half cup raisins
I hope that helps.
Keeping in with the Dutch theme, the postcard for today is one that I am sending (not receiving) for a change.
As you might know, in the Netherlands everybody rides a bike and there are literally millions! These particular two boys on the card are not Dutch, but from the Chong Khneas village in Cambodia. I think it is a great photo, don't you?
I'm linking in with Elizabeth at Altered Book Lover for T for Tuesday. Come and say hello if you have anything drinkable to share.
Have a lovely day and see you hopefully tomorrow when I link up with WOYWW (What's On Your Work desk Wednesday).
Blessings,
Lisca

Oh Lisca, let's call it one cup butter. No one would ever use 0.9 cup of butter. Besides, you can NEVER have too much butter! It sounds pretty awesome, too. And of course, I love the TEA cup and tea pot. Perfect for the apple pie.
Such a lovely card. A post card found in Holland going to the Netherlands of boys from Cambodia. What more could you ask for? BTW, very few people ride bicycles in the US, at least not in cities the size of mine. It's nearly 30 miles from one side of town to the other!
Thanks for sharing your tea, your apple pie, and your postcard with us for T this Tuesday.
That apple pie looks too good! The boys on the bike looks like they are having such fun! I am going off to school now for a laboratory lesson, we are learning how to palpate bone structures on the body. I´ll reward myself with some apple pie afterwards! Happy T Day!
Hi Lisca, I'll gladly trade a slice of my cake for a slice of your delicious pie, and thanks for sharing the recipe, which I will try out. Love the boys on the bike, such a happy card. Have a great week, take care, and happy T day, hugs, Valerie

Hello! Happy T Day. :) Your pie looks delicious. Apple pie--any kind of apple pie--is my favorite. I'm interested in this crust that does not require rolling. I'll have to try that sometime. Thanks for the recipe!
