My Dad's mother was also born in the States, but other than that all my forebears were from the Netherlands. We don't have many Dutch recipes left anymore, and this one came from a woman (now deceased) who lived in Thornhill, Alberta. We both enjoy a simple treat like this, and don't care for fluffy, iced cakes at all.grammilouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764567967851741490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736503433225859196.post-12918986189678072062012-03-26T09:15:55.544-06:002012-03-26T09:15:55.544-06:00My family loves koek (we use raisins instead of th...My family loves koek (we use raisins instead of the mixed fruit, but the recipe is quite similar). My grandparents immigrated from Holland after WWII and started their family in Canada. We also looove Voortman's cookies and other treats - thanks for sharing the interesting background on their family - and so interesting that your husband has a family connection! :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103947009005304814noreply@blogger.com
