Do you often have leftover egg whites after baking sweet treats or making homemade pasta, and youre not sure how to use them? You can always freeze them, but an even better way is to bake something delicious with them. A great choice is walnut kisses, which are quick and easy to prepare. These sweet cookies are so light that they melt in your mouth, and they pair perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee.

Potica is a part of Slovenian tradition and should not be missing from the festive table, especially during major holidays like Christmas and Easter. Young cooks often worry that their potica wont rise properly, that the crust will separate, that it will be raw inside, and so on. This time, I share with you a recipe for mini walnut potica, which even the biggest beginners can succeed with. In addition, they are quick to bake and in taste, they do not fall behind the real walnut potica.

Due to the walnuts, butter, and eggs, this pastry certainly does not fall into the category of light desserts. A small piece will suffice, enjoyed with an afternoon cup of coffee or tea.

In the book Potica from Slovenia, Prof. Dr. Janez Bogataj writes that he is not sure if there is any dish in Slovenian cuisine as frequently mentioned as potica. And he is right. We all know potica, even those beyond our borders. Potica is that dish that must not be missing from our tables during important holidays, especially during Easter. Over the years, I have tried many different recipes, but when my mom kindly handed me her recipe from an old notebook, I quickly adapted it to yeast and made the queen of poticas. Indeed, the recipe worked, and I am truly very satisfied with it. Try it yourself, I am sure it will work for you too. If you add something of your own, that’s fine too. Adjust the taste to your liking and make a potica that will delight you.

A dessert that truly requires minimal effort. To exaggerate, you could say that you simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl, and then the oven does the rest. Only at the end, when you slice the dessert, will you see how the layers have separated. And I promise, you’ll be amazed by the taste, especially if you love walnuts.
