We have landed in South Africa for the month of August, and one interesting thing to explore is the food. With that in mind we chose a South African snack to make for our cooking activity this month. “Lepelsteeltjies are traditional South African savory-sweet cheese biscuits with a dollop of apricot jam in the center. The name comes from the Afrikaans words for spoon (lepel) and handle (steeltjie), because the end of a wooden spoon handle is used to press a small indent into each ball of dough.” Check out the great work and craftsmanship put into making these biscuits!
