GERMAN EASTER EGGS (OSTEREIER)
Thought I would share this simple, old-fashioned method for beautiful bright and shiny colored Easter eggs. My mother and German Oma made Easter Eggs this way, ever since I can remember. The eggs can be dyed with store-bought dyes or by boiling the eggs with natural substances such as onion skin, tea, beetroot juice, spinach, nettle roots and leaves, alder or oak bark. Vinegar added to the water makes the colors brighter, and rubbing with either bacon fat or salad oil produces a shine.

Steps:

- Arrange them in an attractive basket or platter lined with green Easter "grass".
- Keep eggs cool until it's time for the Easter Egg Hunt.

[email protected]The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend using a little less flour or adding a bit more milk to thin it out.

[email protected]I found that the eggs were a bit too runny for my taste, so I cooked them for a few minutes longer. Other than that, the recipe was great and the eggs were very flavorful.
