  I feel really privileged that Claire felt she could share a family recipe with us. It feels really personal and welcoming. Thank you Claire I’ll try to make these someday

  I just wanna thank the editors for creating that family tree cause I would have never understood the genealogy involved in the recipe.

  This video was an absolute treasure!! &nbsp;Loved the side eye from Claire when questioning some of the steps, “that’s just what we do”. 😂. &nbsp;Most of all, loved the voice cameo from Sauci, she’s the best! &nbsp;Hope there are no fisticuffs between Rose and Tilley. &nbsp;I think I smiled through the entire thing , thinking of family dynamics, not to mention a snoopy giraffe. &nbsp;This will be a delicious item for coffee this winter, thanks to all the Saffitz family!! 😘

  “we make it this way because this is how we make it” basically describes all family recipes. ever.

  This is what I love about Jewish baking. Traditions, the “secret “ ingredients and the passing of the spatula to the younger generations! I have a couple recipes that were passed down on my father’s side of the family that when made still bring me back.

  I need a mug that says, “The coffee’s kicking in”

  This is the first recipe I made last Christmas (2020) when I was gifted the book! <br><br>I have to say, I hadn’t baked almost anything back then, like literally one or two things, and these were really easy to make, they came out super pretty and my husband who doesn’t eat sweets absolutely adored them!! The house smells wonderful, they’re amazing in coffee, and I will love them forever. <br><br><br>I love the book and I love Claire 😭💕

  I’d love to see a video where Claire makes attempts at altering this recipe as her professional experience might otherwise suggest, comparing it to Aunt Rose’s results. Will the dough fall apart if you don’t chill, uncovered for four hours? What happens if you don’t flour the almonds? Perhaps have her mother blind taste the variations!

  Loved hearing you talk about how Yiddish was your great grandparents first language! It was mine as well. My grandmother, who was born here, didn’t speak a word of English until she went to kindergarten. Thankfully, Yiddish is undergoing quite a revitalization and it’s possible to learn it fluently in many places. I always love your family recipes, and how you share our Ashkenazi Jewish food culture!
