I have some more dessert headcanons 🍰 I doubt I can explain but it's just a feeling I have. Daniil would like Turkish Delight. Lara and Artemy both like fruit pies, best is blueberry for Lara and rhubarb (it's a vegetable but whatever) for Artemy (oh god I'm stereotyping based on colors again). Candy corn for Clara. Candy corn is divisive but I actually like it. I think Grief would like candy in general, maybe those little chocolates with liquor inside, and cinnamon flavored things. Big Vlad - mincemeat pie. Rubin - bread. Just bread. Red velvet cake for Katerina, meringues for Eva. For Aspity, those dirt pies made out of oreo crumbs, pudding, and gummy worms lol. I think Grace, Notkin, Sticky, and Murky would like those too :o)

There's probably some obscure dialogue that contradicts something there but oh well~

What do you think of Victor's animal being a tiger? I keep thinking Basset Hound and yes that's almost entirely because they both have a high likelihood of being found sitting on the floor by the clock. He's some kind of scent hound to me - more calm and deliberate than sighthounds, and once they have their mind set on something, focusing on it to the extent that it's nearly impossible to pull them away. But at the same time, I can sort of see the cat thing.

🐿️ anon

Your brain is big and wrinkly all of those fit perfectly omfg. "Rubin = bread" I LOVE IT.

Here's what I think their preference in sweets would be in addition to yours.

Eva

Turkish delight, Honey soaked rose baklava, kanafeh with sweer syrups. The intensely sweet desserts are her favourite, think heavy caramel chocolate cakes. She'd sample a lot of desserts from different cultures but those would be her comfort ones.

Victor Kain

The dishes he eats are an acquired taste that wouldn't appeal to most people. Think blue cheese and something along those lines. think bitter chocolate, coffee, and pistachio flavours. Traditional creme burlee and dark chocolate mousse.

I like to think that Khan abhors these flavours and desserts out of rebellion and only demands the most sprinkle filled bubblegum bonbon cupcakes for his birthday.

Maria, however, goes for flavour-rich desserts that explode in the mouth, something with a heavy taste and an aftermath of wine.

Yulia

Cheesecake, lemon tarts. Subtle sweetness with the spin of something different sate her appetit the most. French Vanilla chiffon cake for special occasions, a blueberry muffin with her morning light cream cappuccino.

Rubin

He's absolutely not a dessert person, so when the craving strikes, he would rather go for a baked good. Almond bread, rosemary-walnut brow butter cookies and biscuits, English muffins too.

Taya

Fairy bread cookies, strawberry shortcake, and orange puddings. Fruit based desserts with cream are her favourite. Peach pie and cherry jello. Sadly, most of these would only be found in the Capital, and exporting them into the town wouldn't come easily. The kin might adjust their recipies to accommodate her sweet tooth and include more fresh fruits.

--

For Victor's animal, I was surprised to learn it's the same one as Rubin! They both have tiger in their descriptions. Especially when Khan's animal is an adorable hedgehog. Oh my god, so cute. But it fits. He really does go hide in that spiky polyhedron whenever life gets too troubling. He also has the Kains and Capella ready to protect him.

It's because of Victor's animal being a tiger that I add the "predatory" lines in the story. The sharp claws hidden in his clapsed hands.

He's a tiger in the aspect of the danger rather than the ferality. His mind is as sharp as a tiger's tooth and his focus and patience when hunting a prey or a goal is unmatched. You never expect him or hear him, how he'll as stealthy as a tiger when it comes to mind games.

For Rubin, however, I do see the symbolism centring on the ferality instead. He's like a caged tiger, one with filed down claws and broken teeth. He used to be so sharp and had so much potential. He's truly a force to be reckon with, but the cruelty of life stole away his prime. He's overcome with grief and appears as a docile, tired predetor because of it, like a circus tiger not caring anymore and just jumping through the fire hoops of whoever orders him to. Which is why he is so quick to join the army, he needs a purpose, a mentor, an end goal, a firey ring to make him feel useful because nothing is more terrifying to an imprisoned animal than absolute freedom.

this is quite lovely! simpler recipes for a sweets-loving angelkin, mayhaps? <3

(clears throat)

MY TIME HAS COME

from one sweet-toothed angel to another, here are some of my favourite recipes and sweets!

angel delight - now, this isn’t a recipe. it’s a dessert mix that comes in little packets. but i love this stuff! it’s very fluffy and light! it might be tricky to find or slightly more pricey outside of the uk, but if you can get your hands on some, try adding sprinkles and strawberries (cut into heart shapes if you’re feeling fancy) or banana pieces to the finished dessert. 

greek yoghurt with honey - ohhh. oHHHHHH. the joys of a simple bowl of green yoghurt with honey! the best part about this dessert to me is that you can add anything you want, really. this recipe uses walnuts, but if you don’t like walnuts (or just don’t want to use them), try banana, oats, berries, sultanas, plain pumpkin seeds, or other kinds of nuts!

warm milk - you don’t need a recipe for warm milk, but let me give you mine!

heat milk over the stove (not in the microwave). heat on medium-low until you can put a spoon in the pot and see steam rising off the milk when you lift it. do not let it boil!

while milk is heating, stir in a pinch of ground cardamom and/or pinch of nutmeg. you can play with the quantities here, and substitute spices for what’s on hand, so long as it is a spice that tastes good in desserts! 

when the milk is done, turn off the heat and pour carefully into a mug. 

add a generous swirl of honey and stir until it is dissolved. (personally i love lavender honey in warm milk, but any honey tastes just as good!)

sprinkle cinnamon on top and enjoy! if you heated the milk just right, it should be just the right temperature to drink right away!

of course, there are many, many ways to make warm milk, and many ways to enjoy it! so experiment and have fun! i think that adding a trace amount of almond flavouring and a small layer of frothed milk on top could really elevate this... mmmmmm.... (and since i love warm milk, here’s another recipe anyway). baklava - a little less simplistic, requiring baking and some prep, but still easy for even beginner bakers and with a nice, simple, sweet taste. rich, honeyed, dreamy baklava is probably one of my all-time favourite desserts. if baking it feels beyond you, you can order this at most greek and turkish restaurants! kunafeh - this has a similar taste to baklava, but it’s made with cheese. it also has rose, which i see as a very angelic flavour! it’s harder than the baklava recipe, because the ingredients are likely to be harder to source unless you are lucky enough to live near a mediterranean or middle eastern supermarket.

angel food cake - another baking recipe, the clue’s in the name when it comes to angel food cake! it’s light, airy, and feels like eating clouds! make sure to add a generous amount of strawberries! BONUS: white christmas martini - it’s sparkly, it’s shiny, it’s purely angelic! i haven’t tried this cocktail myself but i fully intend to once the winter holiday season hits. of course, this is very alcoholic, so not a drink for fledgelings! of-age angels only, ya hear? darn kids and their fancy dyed feathers and their BibliTok....

Regional Variations of Baklava: Discovering Unique Recipes from Different Countries

Regional Variations of Baklava: Discovering Unique Recipes from Different Countries

Baklava and its global popularity

Baklava sweet is a beloved dessert that has gained popularity worldwide. Originating in the Middle East, Turkish Baklava is characterized by its layers of flaky pastry, sweet filling, and syrupy finish. The combination of crispy textures, rich flavours, and aromatic ingredients has made the Baklava dessert a favourite among dessert enthusiasts across the globe. Its unique blend of sweetness and nuttiness has captured the hearts and taste buds of people from different cultures and culinary traditions.

Introducing the topic of regional variations of Baklava and its diverse recipes:

While Baklava has roots in the Middle East, it has evolved and adapted to various regions, resulting in enticing regional variations.

Each country and culture have infused its distinct flavours, ingredients, and techniques into the traditional recipe, giving rise to a diverse range of Baklava variations. From the Mediterranean to Eastern Europe and beyond, exploring the regional variations of Baklava offers a delightful journey through different culinary traditions and cultural heritage.

In the following sections, we will delve into some of Baklava's most renowned regional variations, exploring the unique recipes and flavours that make each one special. From Greece's honey-soaked layers to Turkey's pistachio-filled delights, and from Lebanon's rosewater-infused pastries to Armenia's cinnamon-spiced creations, we will uncover the exquisite flavours and techniques that have made these regional Baklava variations beloved in their respective regions. Prepare to embark on a sweet and flavorful adventure as we explore the diverse world of regional Baklava recipes.

Turkish Baklava holds a special place in the world of desserts, renowned for its delicate layers of crispy phyllo dough, finely ground nuts, and sweet syrup. What sets Turkish Baklava apart is its emphasis on achieving a perfect balance between the layers, resulting in a symphony of textures and flavours that is truly exceptional. The intricate preparation process and the high-quality ingredients contribute to the unique characteristics of Turkish Baklava.

Highlighting key ingredients and preparation techniques specific to Turkish Baklava

Nuts: Turkish Baklava typically features a filling of finely ground nuts, most commonly pistachios or walnuts. The choice of nuts adds a rich and nutty flavour that complements the sweetness of the syrup. The nuts are often toasted to enhance their aroma and texture before being layered onto the phyllo dough.

Clarified Butter: Clarified butter, known as "ghee," is a crucial ingredient in Turkish Baklava. Its rich and smooth texture adds a lusciousness to the pastry and enhances its flavour. The clarified butter is generously brushed between the layers of phyllo dough, ensuring a buttery and flaky result.

Sweet Syrup: The final touch that completes the Turkish Baklava experience is the sweet syrup. Typically made with a combination of sugar, water, and lemon juice, the syrup is boiled until it reaches a desired consistency. Once the Baklava is baked and golden, it is immediately soaked in the syrup, allowing it to absorb the sweetness and become moist and tender.

Lebanese Baklava

Lebanese Baklava is special in Middle Eastern cuisine, known for its delicate textures and subtle flavours. It is a dessert that embodies the artistry and precision of Lebanese culinary traditions. Lebanese Baklava stands out for its elegant presentation and harmonious balance of sweetness.

Noting the use of orange blossom water and rose water in Lebanese Baklava.

Orange Blossom Water: One of the distinguishing features of Lebanese Baklava is the use of orange blossom water. This fragrant water, derived from the blossoms of bitter orange trees, adds a distinct floral aroma and subtle citrus notes to the dessert. The delicate essence of orange blossom water enhances the overall experience, providing a refreshing and aromatic element to Lebanese Baklava.

Rose Water: Another critical ingredient in Lebanese Baklava is rose water. Made by steeping rose petals in water, rose water adds a subtle, floral essence that complements the pastry's sweetness. The use of rose water in Lebanese cuisine, including Baklava, reflects the influence of the region's rich cultural heritage and the appreciation for aromatic flavours.

Armenian Baklava

Armenian Baklava, also known as Pakhlava, is a beloved pastry with a special place in Armenian cuisine. It is renowned for its distinctive presentation, which sets it apart from other variations of Baklava. Armenian Baklava is often prepared in a large round or diamond shape, showcasing the precision and artistry involved in its creation.

Highlighting the use of ground cinnamon and cloves in Armenian Baklava

Ground Cinnamon: One of the refreshing flavour profiles in Armenian Baklava is using ground cinnamon. The warm and aromatic spice adds a distinct sweetness and complexity to the dessert. The subtle presence of cinnamon enhances the overall flavour profile, complementing the nutty richness of the pastry.

Cloves: Another notable spice used in Armenian Baklava is cloves. These tiny, dried flower buds contribute a unique and slightly spicy flavour to the dessert. Adding cloves adds depth and warmth to the overall taste experience, creating a harmonious blend of flavours.

Persian Baklava (Baklava-e Yazdi)

Persian Baklava, or Baklava-e Yazdi, is a delightful variation of Baklava originating from Iran. It showcases the rich culinary heritage and exotic flavours of Persian cuisine. Persian Baklava stands out for its unique combination of ingredients and the incorporation of aromatic flavours.

Discussing the addition of rose water and cardamom in Persian Baklava

Rose Water: One of the defining elements of Persian Baklava is the use of rose water. This fragrant floral essence is derived from the petals of roses and adds a distinct and alluring aroma to the dessert. The subtle hint of rose water elevates the flavour profile of Persian Baklava, giving it a delicate and exotic touch.

Cardamom: Another key ingredient that contributes to the flavour profile of Persian Baklava is cardamom. This warm and aromatic spice adds a unique complexity to the pastry. Adding ground cardamom enhances the overall taste experience, infusing the Baklava with a hint of citrus and floral notes.

Brief mention of other countries with their own Baklava variations (e.g., Egyptian, Indian, Azerbaijani)

In addition to the well-known Turkish, Greek, Lebanese, Armenian, and Persian variations of Baklava, several other countries have unique takes on this delightful dessert. Let's explore some of these regional variations:

Egyptian Baklava: In Egypt, Baklava is often referred to as Baklawa. It features a flaky phyllo dough filled with nuts like pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts. One notable difference is the use of orange blossom water in the syrup, which adds a distinct floral aroma.

Indian Baklava: In India, Baklava is known as Filo or Filo Pastry. Indian Baklava showcases a fusion of flavours influenced by the country's diverse culinary traditions. It may incorporate regional spices like cardamom, saffron, or rose water, and the filling can include a variety of nuts and dried fruits.

Indian Baklava showcases a blend of aromatic spices such as cardamom, saffron, and rose water. The filling may include a variety of nuts, like pistachios, almonds, cashews, or a combination thereof, along with dried fruits such as raisins or dates.

Azerbaijani Baklava: Azerbaijani Baklava, also known as Shekerbura, is a popular sweet treat in Azerbaijan. It features a rich pastry dough filled with ground nuts, typically almonds or walnuts, and flavoured with rose water. The pastries are often shaped into crescents or other decorative forms.

Azerbaijani Baklava is distinct in its use of almonds or walnuts in the filling and the incorporation of rose water, which lends a subtle floral fragrance. The pastries are often shaped into intricate designs, making them visually appealing and reflecting the region's artistic traditions.

Easy Vegan Baklava

[red-pincushion]

Hi, shy Hetalia fan here! I saw your Strawberry Shortcake AU in the "Hetalia Greece" tag and it's a very cute idea. Can I advise you about Greece and Cyprus though please? I'm Greek-Cypriot and know a lot about Greek desserts: Pecan Pie and Hazelnut Pie are not native to Greece and Cyprus, and don't reflect their culture at all. May I suggest Peach pie, Apple Pie, Watermelon Pie (from Milos in Greece), Walnut Cake, or Baklava Pastry for Greece? (There are more if you want to research properly and not offend the Greek/Baltic fans in the Hetalia fandom). For Cyprus, they have Cyprus Delights (like Turkish Delight), Mahallepi, Rose ice-cream, Loukoumades (fried dough balls) and Bourekia pastries.

To be honest, I didn't think much about giving them native pastries. It's just Strawberry Shortcake had American like sweets so I didn't think of it. That's actually a really good idea though plus I love researching about culture! I'll look into it, but it might take awhile for me to change everything and make sure they're accurate. Thanks for the suggestions!

Also thanks for sending this ask, I had an older one I didn't see and this let me view it.
