| POSTRUZNJACA ( Prlekija ) My name is Anja and I live in Ljubljana, Slovenia. This meal is typical for Prlekija. For this meal you don't need nothing else but greaves and bread-dough. Postruznjaca is a typical Prlekija cake. Prlekija is the region near the river Mura. It's in the north-east of Slovenia. This cake is made of bread-dough, but with some greaves. In the past they put it a larger pieces of greaves on. Postruznjaca is made of the bread-dough, that was left in a trough, where the landlady made loaves of bread.. She scraped off the rest and formed the little loaves. These little loaves must rest for half an hour. The biggest one is put in to an oven, when we roll up the small one. We roll up the dough about 2 cm thick. Above this cake put a pile of greaves. And then put this in to the oven, until this is baked. In this region, called Prlekija, they served it hot, because it's better. In case they got this cake cold, they put it on their hand, because they thought, that in their hands was hotter than in the cold oven. That was their play. They had fun. My great-grandparents ate this cake only at special moments, not every time when they baked a bread, because they needed some greaves. If you got greaves every time you wanted, you were the richest person in this region. |
