Greek sugar cookie recipes9/15/2023 ![]() When you place them on your baking sheet, make sure to give them some space between one another. Once the dough starts to pull away from the side of the mixing bowl, don’t add any more flour or your cookies might turn out tough and brittle. For the final cup of flour, slowly spoon it into the mix. At that point, your dough should still be fairly sticky. ![]() Then incorporate the 3 additional cups of flour. ![]() To find success with this recipe, first add the cup of flour that you’ve combined with the baking soda and baking powder. I also like to add the zest of half an orange along with the 2 tablespoons of orange juice why not? A note about flour My mom also uses almond extract in place of vanilla cause that’s how she likes them. My yiayia used straight-up whiskey because in the ’80s it was hard to find Greek liquor in Ohio. ![]() I’m sure they’re also great with some Mastiha liquor. In this recipe, I use Metaxa, cause that’s what I have stocked in my house. Other variations include what kind of liquor to add, or to add it at all. In my cookbook: Opa! The Healthy Greek Cookbook, my writing partner offers her recipe that uses olive oil instead of butter. There are as many variations of Koulourakia as there are Greek families. Yiayia Andriana was an incredible baker - a Greek pasty expert - and we’d often stop by her house in the afternoons and I would gobble down handfuls of these cookies and her powdered sugar-covered Kourambiedes while my mom visited with her and her daughters. Recipe originsīut this recipe is based on one from our dear friend in Ann Arbor, Michigan: Andriana Skinner. She’d still make me do it if I didn’t live across the country from her. I perfected my skills, so much so, that my mom always put me on rolling duty when she made them for our family. I’d spend my summer break sitting among everyone else’s yiayias, my seven-year-old fingers rolling hundreds of the prized biscuits. Our community in Dayton, Ohio made nearly all our food and pastries from scratch. Then I really upped my game when my mom took me down to our church during the summer to help them bake for our annual Greek festival. Like most Greek kids, I started making these yummy cookies with my yiayia. Luckily today in Greece, you can go to any zaharoplastio and easily purchase them by the kilo - and you’ll want to fill your box because they disappear quickly.īut if you don’t live near a Greek bakery, you’ll want to make them for yourself using this easy recipe. Logistically, if Minoans did eat these cookies, they would have probably made them with olive oil instead of butter, sweetened with honey instead of sugar, but I digress. ![]() (I haven’t seen any authoritative documentation of this, but like the sound of it.) Minoans worshipped the snake, which explains the coil-like foundation of the cookie. Legend has it that the cookies date back to Minoan times. Outside of soirees, they are the perfect compliment to coffee as an afternoon snack or breakfast. We love baking them at Christmastime along with Melomakarona and Kourabiedes. Koulourakia are most often associated with Greek Easter, but I don’t think I’ve attended a holiday party in a Greek household where they didn’t make an appearance. Growing up in a Greek community, friends always offer the sweet butter-based cookies as a casual afternoon snack they are also fixtures at every celebration. Koulourakia (or Koulouria) are one of the most revered traditional Greek desserts. Jump to recipe Koulourakia - The Quintessential Greek Cookie ![]()

Dink on facts of life9/15/2023 ![]() Those ABS studies have become the gold standard, methodologically, among time use researchers worldwide (Stinson, 1999).įrom the earliest days of those time use studies, family researchers have been exploring them to cast light on issues of work–life balance that confront Australian families. Piloted in 1987, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has been conducting time use studies (increasingly intermittently, which is a great pity) for almost a quarter century now. 2Īmong the many high-quality research tools available for exploring those issues in Australia, I want to draw attention to one in particular: the Australian Time Use Study. It has been studying that for three decades now: through its path-breaking Maternity Leave Study through the book Work and Family Life (Wolcott & Glezer, 1995), and the magisterial Australian Living Standards Study underlying it and continuing into the present day through the Institute’s research theme on “Families and Work”. 1 Taken very literally, and seen in a narrow family law context, that could have been pretty limiting.īut right from the start, the Institute saw the impact of work on family life as an important part of the “factors affecting marital and family stability”. The Act charged it with (and I quote) studying “factors affecting marital and family stability in Australia”. The Institute’s original mandate seemed to give it little scope for action. ![]() Not only were the circumstances of its birth unfortunate. ![]() Conceived as an afterthought to the Family Law Act of 1975, the Institute’s birthing took fully another 5 years, and another Act of Parliament to patch up botched initial legislation. The Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) fits that bill. But they lie at the very opposite ends of the spectrum when time use is calibrated in terms of our measure of needs-based 'discretionary time' instead.Īustralians pride themselves on having dubious origins. A person in a dual-income household without children and a lone mother would appear to be equally time-poor on naïve time use measures of 'free time'. He shows the importance of making this distinction by reference to groups that are the most and the least advantaged, in terms of this measure of 'discretionary time'. In his keynote presentation to the 11th AIFS Conference, 2010, the author proposes a way of measuring how much time people strictly need to spend on various activities of daily life. In particular, people use their time in the way they do out of choice or out of necessity. However, social researchers ought to take care in interpreting that data. People can be 'time-poor', just as they can be 'money-poor' and those two groups are very often not the same. Social researchers make heavy use of that data, which helps us see important dimensions to social disadvantage that are elided by statistics reporting financial flows alone. “Had to pause for a bit … I thought I was watching a flashback of the #factsoflife, but then I realized has not aged at all!!!” one lamented.Australia is blessed with time use data that constitute the gold standard worldwide. #factsoflife #LiveInFrontOfAStudioAudience.”Īnother added, “Lisa Whelchel looks exactly the same!
