Snickerdoodle!
Published by butercup on Sunday, January 22, 2006 at 6:07 pmI know, it's a very weird word.
We were watching Veronica Mars (love it!!! love it!!!!) and she was baking snickerdoodles for friend Wallace. What are snickerdoodles?? (BTW, if you start messing round on that marsinvestigations.net site, you will note that your browser must accept snickerdoodles cookies - I laughed myself stupid reading that. D™ reckons that us net-nerds are all as bad as each other ..)
According to the best cooking reference book ever, they are a corruption of the word Schneckennudeln which means crinkly noodles. In fact, they deviate so far from crinkly noodles that the recipe in fact makes sugary, buttery cinnamon-coated biscuits. Where do the Americans come up with these names?
Besides - I just googled Schneckennudeln. They ain't like the American ones. I had to bake the American ones, just to be sure...
Ooohhhh... so hungry now ....
My family makes a dessert called "railroaders" that are almost miniature strudels, but have pretty much the same ingredients, just in a different form. Whatever!
Hey, you once-upon-a-time visited my music blog. I've made some major changes and have been casting about telling those who visited in the past to come on by and check out the redux.
Those snickersdoodles are making me thirsty!
