I'm very cheerful this morning, because my breakfast consisted of the
brioche I baked yesterday. This sweet, fluffy bread goes well with butter, milk, coffee, tea, custard, fruits, chocolate, jam.... it tastes good with just about anything sweet, really.
It's a huge loaf (pic behind the cut), but it'll be gone in no time, I can't stop myself eating... it's just that good, and what's more, easy to prepare and very basic ingredients. Only catch: the dough needs to rest for several hours.
My variation contains a lot of kardamom, which gives it that special yummy Scandinavian flavour (heh), but you can just leave it out.
