Boterkoek/ Buttercake

“If you're afraid of butter, use cream.” 

Julia Child

Well this was a list item that was simple, learn how to make a dutch treat that I always enjoy, but probably never would find the time/ the recipe to make it.  I wanted to make Boterkoek, I know it's so easy.  I heard that a lot when I mentioned this idea, but I am not master in the kitchen and especially baking... being precise is not my strong suit. So, I found myself a great teacher and got to work! It was pretty easy too :) 

Here's how the lesson went:  Photo Credits go to David and Kara, don't mind a few heads cut off I think they were being artistic!

My Teacher, Jonna Lemstra ( We had some helpers too, Kasey & Kara)

 Let's start with the recipe:

Putting it all together: With your hands no less, well just one hand works best.  I found that out after!

Then split the dough and spread it evenly in a pie pan... See it's so easy.

 Here's the cream part.. I never would have guessed. Smooth the top with cream then bake:

 

 That's it! Thanks Lemstras, I had a great time!
