They settled in Lanesville. I would visit during the summer and spend time with all three. I learned this recipe using canned milk adding enough water to make it 24 oz. of liquid. I make a rolled ring with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and sliced almonds in the center. The recipe has enough dough to make three rings and a small braid. I usually make this at Christmas time to give and people love it. Thanks for helping me recall an idyllic time of childhood.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693013076508171402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234880020116347326.post-14335387489213927042021-09-23T22:52:59.775-07:002021-09-23T22:52:59.775-07:00This Is Really Good Content, Thank you!This Is Really Good Content, Thank you!Cialishttps://www.healthcareshopy.com/buy-cialis-online/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234880020116347326.post-12289877808138611032018-12-06T08:31:53.772-08:002018-12-06T08:31:53.772-08:00I've been reading the comments about nisu and ...I've been reading the comments about nisu and the one about Aune making nisu for their family.

LOL I tried to find the brown pods you pictured, but I can't find them online. I am getting the seeds already out of the pod. That'll have to do I guess. I hope it turns out okay!

I doubled the amount of Cardamon as one teaspoon isn't enough flavor. Approximately 25 minutes into the baking time, brushed each loaf with beaten egg white and sprinkled with white sugar. ( My Aunt from Central Finland made her Nisua bread with the egg white glaze, not the coffee glaze.). I Contined baking the loaves for ten to twelve additional minutes. (Total baking for ttime was 35-38 minutes.) I baked the loaves in baking pans on top of a flat cookie sheet. Bottoms were golden..not overdone. Thanks for the suggestion! Will add cinammon next time and try the roll method instead of braiding. My house smells fantastic. My neighbors are going to love me-one loaf is for them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234880020116347326.post-43310853257802367772012-12-25T17:36:20.604-08:002012-12-25T17:36:20.604-08:00I grew up in Gloucester and a dear friend of the f...I grew up in Gloucester and a dear friend of the family, Aune, made Nisu for us.

The flat piece should be about 13x9 or any manageable size. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts or pecans. Roll into a log and slice. Place sliced "rolls" on a cookie sheet with sides and let rise. Bake and glaze with powdered sugar frosting.
