Happy New Year people! I hope you had the best possible start into 2021! My family and I ended 2020 with a Burger night. Let’s be honest, shall we? Whether we end the old year with a Burger night, begin the new one with one, or if it’s just an in-between burger night throughout the year - Burgers are always delicious and the perfect food for pretty much any occasion, but especially when it comes to a night in with comfort food.

************************************

To see the full recipe just go to our website and read through the instructions- trust me, all the steps are worth it!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas - Happy Christmas week folks! ❤️
Now that we don’t have classes anymore, it’s time for some last minute Christmas baking. Today’s recipe I don’t want to miss on my Christmas cookie plate. It’s simple, fast, but, ohhh so delicious. It’s my favorite recipe for cutout sugar cookies 😍
For the entire recipe just go to our website:

https://anglam.fsi.fau.de/wordpress/en/neuigkeiten-english/

The list of ingredients is short and sweet (just like the countdown to the holidays):

1 egg yolk
1 cup of flour (125g)
1/8 cup of granulated sugar (30g)
1/4 cup of butter softened at room temperature (62g)
1/8 cup of clarified butter softened at room temperature (25g)
good quality vanilla extract

Happy fourth of Advent, everyone!☃️❤️🎄

Happy fourth of Advent, everyone!☃️❤️🎄

Christmas is near and everything just seems to get a little more cozy and relaxed. Have you already planned your Christmas Dinner? Maybe you are still looking for the right dessert to finish everything off. Let me help you, by telling you about today’s recipe: Pecan Pie!😊

Most of us don’t have a lot of time on our hands on Christmas Day, so this super simple and easy pie is just what we need. The stars of the pie are obviously the pecans, but I think it would also taste nice with walnuts. A classic American recipe calls for three types of sugar, eggs, and butter, which seemed a bit too decadent for me. So, I chose a vegan filling with coconut cream. No matter what filling you use, it is surely going to taste great!

We thank you warmly for the lovely evening we spent with you🎄🎮. It was a great success and it was nice to see so many people pre-celebrating Christmas with us. See you soon!😋

🎄Happy third advent, everyone!🎄

For todays post we wanted to share something heartier, two of the classic side dishes that have a place at a lot of feasts (Thanksgiving, Christmas…) in America and the UK: mashed potatoes and gravy.

There are endless options on how to serve this. What ties everything together anyway, is this amazingly tasty gravy, that is even suitable for vegans, as it doesn’t require any meat. Champignons, soy sauce, mustard and red wine are the key components that make this sauce convincing even for meat lovers!

For the mashed potatoes, make sure to use mealy potatoes. They contain a lot more starch than other potatoes and make for a nice and fluffy mash.

We hope you all are doing well and that you will enjoy following these amazingly easy and quick recipes! (Maybe that could be your contribution to this year’s Christmas Dinner?)

Check out our homepage for detailed list of ingredients and instructions!

Attention everybody❗ We will be hosting another

Attention everybody❗
We will be hosting another Game Night for you! It will take place on Wednesday the 16th of December at 8 pm via Zoom:

https://fau.zoom.us/j/99609939120?pwd=SjZLNzJEVjBrVTFqMDdET2g2cGh1UT09

At first, we want to welcome you and introduce us, the FSI's members, and the American-German Unterwegs e.V. club (non-commercial student organization from Atlanta, USA), with whom we will work together in the future!
The major part of our Game Night will then be a Christmas Pub quiz (Kahoot) that we designed for you and where you can even win a small price!✨❤️
After that participants will be able to freely join one or several of our different gaming breakout rooms (Skribbl.io, Never Have I Ever, Christmas Stadt-Land-Fluss, Cards Against Humanity (Discord), Among Us (Discord)) and a few relaxed conversational rooms. It’ll be a blast! See you next week!😊

Happy second Advent, everyone!☃️❤️ Contin

Happy second Advent, everyone!☃️❤️

Continuing our series about English and American cuisine, we now venture into something more British: the classic scone. As an outsider, when hearing the word scone, I always thought of prestigious, white women, gossiping around while enjoying their afternoon tea. This wasn’t entirely wrong, as the scone, along with the ritual of “afternoon tea” was made popular by Anna Russell, Duchess of Bedford, a lifelong friend of Queen Victoria. Afternoon tea with all its components, which is held at exactly 4 o`clock in the afternoon, embodies “Britishness” for many, including me.

For instructions, please look at the video in the post, or, for detailed written instructions, go to our homepage (link in bio). Please note that the homepage is still a work in progress and that it is not entirely translated yet. You will find the recipe under “Freizeitbeschäftigungen” in “Die FSI-Rezeptecke“ on our homepage.

🎄Recipe for classic scones: 🎄

*Ingredients:*

350 g self-rising-flour (to make at home add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to 100 g of flour, so 3 ½ tsp in total for this recipe)

1 tsp baking powder

85 g butter (or vegetable shortening) cut into cubes

3 tbsp caster sugar

175 ml milk with a squeeze of lemon juice in it (to make homemade buttermilk, works with a dairy free alternative as well)

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

beaten egg for the glaze (vegan alternative: mix one tbsp of dairy free milk with a little vegetable oil)

jam and clotted cream (or regular/ dairy free whipped cream) to serve

To start off our new posting series about American

To start off our new posting series about American and British eating and cooking culture, we thought of something easy and quick that fits right into the colder season: the apple crumble! Down below you can find the recipe with the ingredients and instructions on how to make this tasty treat that makes everyone feel warm and cozy! We hope you try this yourselves, let us know how it went in the comments! Enjoy! 😊☃️

~Recipe for apple crumble~

*Ingredients:*

120 g vegetable shortening or butter
100 g brown sugar
120 g flour
50 g oats/ ground nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, etc…)
1 pinch of cinnamon
3 small apples (Boskop/ other tart, mealy cooking apple)
2 TS lemon juice

*Special equipment:*

Small oven dish

*How it’s done: *

1. Preheat the oven to 180C and grease the oven dish
2. Mix fat (butter or vegetable shortening) with the sugar, flour, cinnamon into bigger crumbs
3. Peel the apples, take out the core and slice it into even slices. Then coat with some lemon juice to prevent them from browning
4. Put half of the crumbs into the bottom of the oven dish, put the apple slices on top, cover everything with the remaining crumbs.
5. Bake for 40 min. or until nice and brown, serve with vanilla ice cream

PS.: We pimped our crumble with some chopped walnuts, you can change the recipe according to your own taste! Maybe put in some gingerbread spice, or change out the apples for pears, frozen berries, or cherries! The important part is to get the ratio of fat to flour right, so the crumbs form nicely.

Many of us have had a difficult time this year, fi

Many of us have had a difficult time this year, filled with illness, isolation, and uncertainties due to COVID-19. Thanksgiving is only one of many festivities that are traditionally celebrated with friends and family, but this year it may be harder if not impossible to get together in person and celebrate as usual. We hope that you don’t have to feel alone and that you have people to connect with! Let your friends and family know that you’re still thinking of them and that you’re thankful for their presence in your life. Take care of yourself and others and stay safe!

May your upcoming holiday season be filled with love and joy!❤️
Happy Thanksgiving!🍁🍂
