All purpose flour

Perera & Sons`s version is an off shoot of the original recipe passed on to Cyril Rodrigo the founder / proprietor of the `landmark` Pagoda & of Green Cabin fame!! The Green Cabin recipe is a celebration of the traditional Dutch Easter Bread known to be served on the 1st Easter Day the one that broke the 40 day fast during Lent known as passbrood, a cinnamon flavoured rich bread studded with dark and golden raisins, currants and citron and orange candied peels!!!the festive spread will not be complete without various cold cuts and sweet bread toppings and a boterlammetje [butter in the shape of a small lamb], puff pastry and a large amount of coffee and Tea. For the records the recipe was a safely guarded secret exclusively prepared by `Deva` who mastered the process from 55 years ago! I had the rare opportunity of watching him do a bulk production that called for some 200 eggs during lent, at the time I served the company as Chef Consultant in the central kitchen in Pepiliyana in 2014. The secret ingredient Icing Suagar was privately supplied exclusively for the Deva`s Breudher. Nothing compares to this recipe. The technique takes years of training to master. The standard you tube methods are far from authentic. making the dough/ batter is pretty much a ritual and a laborious chore. What people show you in their demos is a delusion. these recipes are tried and tested. period. write me an e-mail to : [email protected] and I will gladly send you a link to a reliable dutch cooking blog. Cheers. green cabin Breudher is the real deal. In a twist of irony Both Perera & Sons and Cyril Rodrigo 135 years ago were husband and wife...that tradition still continues.!!!! Alfred Gunasekara
