I also have Dutch ancestry (my mom's maiden name is Van Dyke/Van Dijk) and I am only about 50 minutes from Sleepy Hollow. My Dutch side has been in the area since the 1880s though. I am a big mix though and have family that came to the US in the 1630s. I am sorry you had some cruller struggles. They are so so so tasty, right? Did you like them? They are kind of like funnel cake! It is such a pleasure to watch you making food and learning from you. Your pigeons look pigeony to me! aw. It was so cute to see your little helper show up too. What a cute invitation you made. You have so many cute kitties!!!

[@underatinroof]

I think that I need to find a recipe that actually works, otherwise I have no doubt the crullers would be fantastic. This was not it 😂 Thanks for the support! So cool that you have ancestors who came over in the 17th century.

Knowing how you do trial and error baking, I am sure you'll find the Dutch version and it will be more curly and amazing. @@underatinroof

Having homeschooled my kids and my daughters 3 degrees in English Literature, our love of American Gothic Literature always centered around this story. It happens every year, we bring out the 170 year old printing we found and make sure it takes center stage in our Halloween decor (along with Poe, of course). It never occurred to me to attempt making any of the historical recipes from the tome. I definitely look forward to the research and experience. You mentioned adding hard boiled eggs to pie. Being from the South, our cornbread dressing recipe actually adds hard boiled eggs to mixture before baking. Its not as unusual as you may think and knowing that my heritage is both English, French, Scottish and Cherokee, it's rather interesting to try and determine where that may have derived. Thanks the inspiration!!

Perfection, absolute perfection!!! Adored this so much!!! ❤❤❤

[@universalqueenfern]

Good job! I thought the pigeon pie would be the least liked food this time not the doughnuts. I love how you dry your herbs.❤

[@underatinroof]

As did I! 😂 thank you!!

[@carolynmcmillan7752]

Your little helper is so cute.

[@Paula-pd6qv]

Awesome! Would you be able to do a series inspired in Regency England? 🌸😍

[@juliemosz6647]

The I loved your outfit during the Tangled Bridges recipe, what do they taste like? Sweet Pretzels? All your cats running after you is so cute, also I loved the atmosphere and drink you made outside, what was the drink? Loved the whole episode it’s like a mini fall vacation

[@maureenirvine4963]

I thoroughly enjoyed that and learned a lot from it, thank you Kayla. ❤️

[@underatinroof]

Thank you so much! 🥰❤️

Interesting video! As a Dutch person I can tell you that I had never heard of krullers or ever seen them in my life up until now. Wonder what happened there! We do have the krakeling, or kringle in English, and spritskoek, both of which look slightly similar but neither of which are deep fried.

[@underatinroof]

I wonder if they are a Dutch-American thing? There are also French crullers and German crullers, but they are slightly different in texture!

[@tamarasmit8207]

I'm from the netherlands aswel. I've learnd a lot from you about our history, thank you😊

[@lorena5mash]

@@underatinroof Good question! When I googled it the German and French ones came up indeed but I couldn't find out much about the Dutch version 🤔 It's probably something they ate in certain regions close to the Belgian/German borders and maybe it died a slow death through the course of time? Interesting nevertheless!

[@underatinroof]

@lorena5mash I can certainly see how it fell out of fashion - it’s very bland for modern palates! 😂

- I am a 69 year old Great Grandma, but when I was a wee lass I was infatuated with my Uncles Hungarian " Pineapple Cookies".. Imagine the look of thought on my Uncles face when, asagrown woman with children of my own when I asked my Uncle- " How can these be Hungarian Pineapple ANYTHING. ? Hungary cannot grow a Pineapple? " Now? I just called them Uncle Ed's Pineapple cookies!

Thanks for being here and your kindness! 🥰

[@jeannecastellano7181]

Regarding your pigeon pie, it looked good. I was just wondering if that thick crust was fully cooked. It looked rather sodden when you sliced into it.

your channel is so beautiful, new subscriber here :)

Thanks and welcome 🥰🥰

You can google map for Dutch Americans. I have about one generation, early 1700s, Pensylvanian German ancestry. So Dutch & Germans in Pennsylvania & in New England lived in same regions. A large number of Pennsylvania Germans were from early 1700s S Germany today NW Baden...known for fruits and vegetables as longest grow season in Germany. It was called Palatinate. I do have slightly more N German...using DNA heritage admixture tool on Gedmatch. Can search for specific populations & see if share similar neighbor country percentages. I know by trade history ...since Bronze age, S Germans traded downriver to England, Netherlands. They have a sense of shared ancestry too, way back using dna studies. Also some had a closer shared Roman culture from Julius Caesar days versus northern Germans and Nordic tribes. So kinda witness it with my family as very mixed heritage, very different liveliness of Flemmish S Dutch Bavarian, Baden mix versus a lineage of Hamburg Hanseatic Trade area with Scandinavian....different frequencies. Worldview towards business and opportunity is very regional in my opinion.
