Hungarian Butter Cookies

In geography, the kiddos are learning all about Eastern Europe.

I thought it would be fun to make some recipes that are from the different countries they are learning about.  Tonight we made Hungarian Butter Cookies.  The recipe is courtesy of foodbycountry.com.





Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 egg
1/3 cup sour cream

Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.  Add butter, mix by hand until it is like course meal.  Add egg and sour cream-- mix until it holds together-- cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Pinch off small egg-size pieces and form into balls.  Place on buttered or non-stick sheet about 2 inches apart.  Use fingers to press to about 1/2 inch thick.  Make a crosshatch by pressing back of fork on each cookie.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.



Enjoy!

My Week in Review/THMJ/Weekly Wrap-Up- October 3

Fall has definitely arrived!  The temperatures dropped and a Nor'Easter and remnants of Joaquin came to visit, as well.

We are studying the Ancients this year and this week, the Kiddos made a replica of the Great Pyramid at Giza as well as the Step Pyramid of Djoser.



We also learned about the Code of Hammurabi and the Hyksos in Egypt.


We are also studying European geography and found a wonderful series from PBS online called Rick Steve's Europe.  He has 30-minute segments on many European nations.  This week, we watched ones on Poland and Hungary, as well as working on our maps and studying the history and geography of each nation.


You can tell fall has arrived by the way these two are watching the video.  :-)


Kiddo #4 invented her own cookie recipe (I am not kidding!) and will feature it this week in a recipe post.  Be sure to check back, for they were SO good!  She got a thumbs up from her brother-testers!  :-)




The storms knocked out our power for a while on Friday evening.  We made the best of it!  :-)


At our 4-H meeting on Saturday, the ice-breaker game was wrapping a volunteer like a mummy.  Look at Kiddo #1!  They also worked on a 'Wildlife Detective' project.


My posts this week:  



Keep safe and dry!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  God bless!
