Today's recipe is a super yummy and easy quick dessert. Pasta Flora as know in Egypt and Greece and some other countries, is a type of cake or tart with jam, also known as Pastfrola or Pasta Frolla (shortbread) in Italy, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay but in these couturiers it's regularly made with Dulce de Leche (type of creamy dessert made from condensed milk). in today's recipe I used strawberry jam as I love it so much, you can use any type of jam you prefer, as you can use any flavor in this cake like vanilla as I used or Almond flavor, lemon, cinnamon, of course it depends on the jam you're going to use, you can also use the amount of jam you want so if you would like the taste to be so sweet you can use more jam and if not so you can use as much as I used here.

Hello everyone, today's recipe is a gourmet dish which I love so much, the idea of making it came to me when I made the roast beef once but my husband said that he would love to have something with more flavor inside more than garlic, black pepper and other spices, so I decided to cut the beef in a round cut to stuff it with vegetables, it was so yummy, tender, juicy, and healthy too.

Heart Shaped Pancakes (Romantic Dessert)

2010-12-30T14:34:00.006+02:00

This recipe is my favorite for breakfast or dessert, also it's so suitable for romantic dinners or special occasions. A pancake is a thin, flat cake prepared from a batter and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Most pancakes are quick breads; some use a yeast-raised or fermented batter. Most pancakes are cooked one side on a griddle and flipped partway through to cook the other side. Depending on the region, pancakes may be served at any time, with a variety of toppings or fillings including jam, chocolate chips, fruit, syrup or even meat.English pancakes have three key ingredients: plain flour, eggs, and milk. The batter is runny and forms a thin layer on the bottom of the frying pan when the pan is tilted. It may form some bubbles during cooking, which results in a pale pancake with...
