Kuchen


 

 

 

FILLING:

 

Ingredients:

 1 c. cream
2 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Directions: Mix together (for each Kuchen you’ll need about 3/4 c. of the mixture). 

First, roll the dough then a layer of fruit (peaches, prunes,cottage cheese, cherries, grated raw apples, apricots). Add the cream filling and sprinkle with cinnamon.

 
DOUGH: 
disolve 1 package yeast in 1/4 cup water 

1 cup milk (scalded)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup shortening
4 cups flour

 
Directions: 

Scald milk. Add sugar and salt – cool to warm. Add yeast. Add 2 cups of the flour and beat one minute. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Add shortening and beat one minute. Add rest of the flour until a nice soft dough. Then let rest
10 minutes; and knead on floured surface until smooth ( about 5 minutes). Cover and let rise to double. Knead down again and let rest 10 minutes. Then take about a 7 ounce ball or about the size of a baseball – roll almost as thin as
pie crust. Fit into an 8 inch pie pan. Then arrange fruit of choice on top. The crust should come up the sides of the pan too. Then add about 3/4 cup of
cream mixture. Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour or until filling is set and doesn’t jiggle in the middle.
