Fruit yeast cake
It’s probably one of the most standard homemade cakes in Poland, or at least it used to be. It’s pretty easy to pull off, but the yeast does need time to do its job. It’ll work with most fruits, like apples, pears, plums, etc. Plums are the most ‘classic’ variation.

Kewra (केवड़ा) cookies
These cookies are a somewhat Indian take on the classic shortbread. The kewra flavouring brings slight oriental notes, although for people not used to more flowery aromas in food it might be reminiscent of soap or perfume, but in a good way.

Buckwheat Flour Muffins
Buckwheat flour can be an acquired taste as it’ll bring in a distinctive nutty and earthy flavour. Still, those turned out really well. Just note that they wont raise as well as regular ones and will be a bit denser. Yields 12 muffins.

Gluten Free Muffins
Basic recipe for gluten free muffins. Yields 12 regular muffins, although I recommend not filling the cups fully and making them smaller. Gluten-free batter doesn’t hold together as well as regular one, so if filled fully, they’ll have a tendency to overflow and create a bit of a ‘mushroom’ top.
