Like anything else....takes a lot of practice and patience!
I was fortunate to have a remarkable great-aunt who passed down the art. She taught all of us kids, of my generation, I was the only one who continued with it. This year, I will teach my GD.
I only wish I could bake a Babka, like she could. [My baking skills are like the lottery]
Pysanky. How I wish I’d learned how to make them when I was younger. I watched them being made by my grandmother (Baba) and her friends and knew I didn’t have the patience to do them.
My Russian Baba showed me how to make Babka. I adapted it to a bread machine a few years ago. Much easier on my hands!The family really looks forward to it!
Don’t have time to post the recipe now but if you’re interested I’ll post it a bit later.
