When Zgornje Gorenjske Development Agency researched in the past a few years ago what was eaten in this small place near Radovljica in the past, they wrote about the beautiful braids called sladkulce that they were typical of the village bakery (house name Pri peku or in spoken language, said the locals, Par pék), where they arose after 1950.
“The bakery baked black and white bread, buns and sweet croissants. Once upon a time, on holidays, housewives would bake bread or potty dough at home and put it in cups in the oven oven. Children also received cakes from the bakery if they were diligent in their daily tasks, such as holding firewood.
Let us mention the record Anžeta Habjana IN Metka Kavçiçwho wrote in the latest local newspaper Vigenjc: “Sladkulc prepared by a baker Matija Butorac, most locals recall. He did them too for a while Mihael Blaznikwho forwarded the recipe to his daughter Urški Avsenik from Gostilna to Jarmu“And she was the one who entrusted us with the recipe for this wonderful dessert! Even more nostalgia for this place, carefully nourished in the guesthouse in question, awaits you tomorrow in the Printed Open Kitchen.
