BratwurstThe most common type of bratwurst you’ll find is precooked. Simply brownthem in a pan or on the grill to heat themup, and they will be ready to eat!

For uncooked bratwurst,you will want to do a bitmore. To get a nice, darkbrown color, brush them with beer before grilling or frying. Alternatively, sprinkle with a little sugar. The sugar will caramelize, giving the bratwurst a rich brown color.

To prevent the skin from splitting, heat them in hot (not boiling) water for 5 minutes. Dry them and sprinkle with flour, then fry in a pan with a little oil or butter.

For a different flavor, add fresh sage, rosemary, or oregano to the pan and brown the bratwursts with the herbs.

Chinese Sesame BallsIngredients6 cups oil for deep-frying, or as needed1/2 cup white sesame seeds, or as needed3/4 cup brown sugar1 to 1 1/3 cups boiling water3 cups (about 400 grams) glutinous rice flour1 cup (about 200 grams) red bean paste

Desserts

DirectionsIn a wok or deep-sided, heavy saucepan, preheat the oil for deep-frying to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure that there is at least 3 inches of oil in the wok. Spread the sesame seeds over a piece of wax or parchment paper. Place a small bowl of water beside the sesame seeds.

Dissolve the brown sugar in 1 cup of the boiling water.

Place the rice flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle of the bowl and add the dissolved sugar and water mixture. Stir until you have a sticky, caramel-colored dough, adding as much of the remaining 1/3 cup of boiling water as needed (do not add more water if it is unnecessary).

Pinch off a piece of the dough roughly the size of a golf ball. Use your thumb to make a deep indentation in the dough, and then the thumb and index fingers of both hands to form the dough into a cup. Roll 1 tsp of the sweet red bean paste into a ball. Place the red bean paste in the hole, and shape the dough over the top to seal. It is important to make sure the red bean paste is completely covered. Continue with the remainder of the dough.

Dip a ball into the small bowl of water (this will help the sesame seeds stick to the ball). Roll the ball over the sesame seeds. Repeat the process with the remainder of the balls.

Deep-fry the sesame seed balls, a few at a time, in the hot oil.

Once the sesame seeds turn light brown (about 2 minutes), use the backof a spatula or a large ladle to gently press the balls against the side ofthe wok or saucepan. Continue applying pressure as the balls turn goldenbrown and expand to approximately 3 times their normal size.

Drain the deep-fried sesame seed balls on paper towels. Serve warm.

KoeksistersIngredients2 cups cake flour1 large egg3 tbsp butter1/2 cup butter milk3 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp saltCanola oil

Desserts

DirectionsMix dry ingredients first: cake flour, salt, and baking powder. Then rub with butter untilit turns into a fine texture like bread crumbs.

In another bowl, beat the egg roughly and add the buttermilk. Mix it gently for 2 minutes, then add to the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture gently for 5 minutes (if the dough begins to stick to your hands, try applying some oil to your hands beforecontinuing). Cover the dough with a damp cloth and leave it to sit for 4 hours.

While waiting for the dough, you can start working on the syrup. Heat all of the ingredients over medium - high heat in a covered pot, stirring frequently so that all of the ingredients dissolve. Once well dissolved, place the syrup in the fridge in order to cool (the syrup must be cooled before you fry the kœksisters). Roll your dough into cylinders about 7 cm long and 2 cm wide. Cut into 3 strips and braid the pieces together (you may use 2 strips if it is easier). Deep-fry the kœksisters in canola oil until they turn golden brown. Place on a kitchen towel after frying to absorb any excess oils, then dip in the cold syrup while kœksisters are still hot. Let cool for 5 minutes so that syrup sets before serving.

Syrup Ingredients3 cups white sugar2 cups water1 tsp ground ginger4 cardamom pods, crushedLemon juice from 1 small lemon

BaklavaIngredients1 - 16 oz package phyllo dough1 lb chopped nuts1 cup butter1 tsp ground cinnamon

Sauce Ingredients1 cup water1 cup white sugar1 tsp vanilla extract1/2 cup honey

Desserts

DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and butter the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Chop nuts and toss with cinnamon. Set aside. Unroll the phyllo dough, and cut the whole stack in half to fit the pan. Cover phyllo with a dampened cloth to keep from drying out as you work. Place 2 sheets of dough in the pan and butter thoroughly. Repeat until you have 8 sheets of dough, butter, and nuts, layering as you go. The top layer should be about 6 to 8 sheets deep.

Using a sharp knife, cut into diamond or square shapes down to the bottom of the pan. You may cut into 4 long rows to make the diagonal cuts. Bake for about 50 minutes until baklava is golden and crisp.

Make sauce while baklava is baking. Boil the sugar and water until the sugar has melted. Add vanilla and honey, and let simmer for about 20 minutes.

Remove baklava from the oven and immediately spoon the sauce over it. Let cool. Serve in cupcake papers, and feel free to freeze any leftovers. Leave uncovered, as the baklava will get soggy if wrapped.
