Walnut Cookies

 

Walnut Cookies

Ingredients

2 egg whites

1 cup of icing sugar

3 cups of ground walnuts

Pinch of salt

How to prepare

Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt – or better use a mixer – adding gradually the icing sugar until fluffy.

Fold gradually the finely ground walnuts with a wooden spoon and be careful to keep the egg whites fluffy.

Spoon the mixture in a baking tray covered with baking paper by shaping the cookies and make sure you leave some space between them because they will become bigger while they are being baked and you don’t want the cookies to stick together.

Preheat your oven to 1500 C and bake the cookies for around 25 minutes or until they are slightly brown.

Enjoy!





Martenitsa

Martenitsa

Честита Баба Марта!
Happy March!


 

Martenitsi are worn from 1 March until the wearer first sees a blossoming tree or until 22 March. Usually, you give them to friends and relatives wishing them health. If you see someone with a Martenitsa in March they are either Bulgarian (or Romanian) or have a Bulgarian (or Romanian) friend or relative. The name of the holiday 

Baba Marta (Martisor - Martishor in Romanian) means "Grandma March" in Bulgarian and the wearing of Martenitsi is a tradition related to welcoming the spring, which in Bulgaria begins in March. Before 22 March you have to tie the Martenitsa to a branch of a blossoming tree and make a wish.
