Pan Dulce

Recently I was in Costa Rica, I visited a place called the Durika Reserve. I ate there something called Pan Dulce and liked it so much so that I asked if I could have the recipe. Here it is:

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
100 grams of butter
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon liquid vanilla

Mix the sugar with the milk and vanilla. Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture has cooled down. During the cooling down dissolve the sugar in the mixture.

Add the flour and baking powder to the mixture. The dough has a slightly thicker consistency than that for pancakes make. Add the desired flavor (cocoa, raisins, peanuts, strawberries, etc ...).

Place the dough in the pan and bake for 1 hour at 350 ° C until the cake from the inside is dry.

Chicory cream soup

Ingredients:
For approx. 4 persons:
- Chicory (4), chopped
- Chicken stock (500 ml)
- Milk (300 ml)
- Onion (2 hand of chopped onion)
- Egg yolk (1)
- Flower (3 spoons)

The Works:
1. Prepare the chicken stock
2. Melt some butter and add the chopped onion to it until it becomes translucent.
3. Add the chopped chicory, mix it under the onion and add some water.
4. Let it simmer for a couple so that the water evaporates
5. Mix the flower into the onion/chicory mixture, this will give you a sticky brown mixture.
6. Add the chicken stock an make it cook for something like 5 minutes.
7. Mix the soup in a mixer
8. Add the egg yolk, whisk it into the soup
9. Add the milk, mix it into the soup

I used milk because I didn't have any cream but the result is still a very smooth soup which with cream would have become more creamy.
