The 1/2 cup of sugar I used in the dough preparation, and then I used additional sugar to dip the crescents in, and do not have the exact measure for it since you use as much as you need.
I use the granulated sugar, since that is our regular sugar in the stores. Caster sugar, as I understand it, is much finer, but I don’t think I ever came across it at my grocers. I think using caster sugar in baking is fine.

Sorry just checking that I correctly cooked these, so I can whip them up again next time. I should add the cream cheese with butter, eggs yolks, salt and extract and no sugar in step 1 and add the 1/2 cup of sugar only in the step 14? Is this correct?
I have used caster sugar, we have white sugar too, which do you prefer?

Butter and Cream cheese is sold in grams but instead of weighing the measurements out on the scales I should use measuring cups & spoons, it would make it easier next time.

You are correct a lot of young mums don’t cook, but I LOVE IT!!!
I have always loved cooking for friends and family and love trying new recipes, I know cooking takes time but I try and find time when my little baby sleeps in the day and I get my 3 year old to do little jobs in the kitchen with me, so it’s fun for us both.
Yes my husband is very lucky for sure but he is a great cook too, I work a few days a week in an office job and the rest of the week I am mum/chef and love my work life balance.

Your husband is a very lucky man. Not too many young mothers want to cook much from scratch. Yes, I agree, homemade food is much better for us, since it is not over seasoned, and without any additional preservatives.
Rounding off grams would depend what the ingredient is. Butter, cheese, sugar you can play with either way, but yeast, flour and liquids should be more precise. You do not have access to American measuring cups and spoons ?

Yep I totally love to cook, everything homemade always tastes better don’t you think!
These Rohalyky tasted great!
Do you recommend rounding up or down when converting to grams?
For example from the great links to convert 16 oz Butter or Cream cheese equal 453.59 grams, I think I rounded down to use 450 grams of each.
Thanks

Sounds like you have one happy growing family, and you still want to cook and bake from scratch…you are amazing.
I will keep in mind the cookbook idea. Thank you.

You should definitely produce a book in the future, your recipes are really user friendly and yumo. I am sure a lot of your followers would love that. Great idea!
It’s great my 3 year old daughter helped me with the Rohalyky, it was so cute too as my 8 month old son crawled into the kitchen while we were preparing these and looked up at us drooling….too funny! It looks like I will have an extra helper in the kitchen soon since he is on the moove now..lol
