Julia's Nut And Poppy Seed Rolls

Julia's Nut And Poppy Seed Rolls image
Dough: 1 C. butter 2 Tb. sugar 1 cake of yeast 4 egg yolks 4 C. flour 1 c. lukewarm milk Walnut filling: Poppy seed filling 1 1b. shelled walnuts, 1 1b poppy seeds, ground ground 2 C. sugar 1 1/2 to 2 C. sugar 3 Tb. Lemon juice 1 medium size apple, grated 1 heaping Tb. Butter 1 C. milk (each filling recipe is enough to fill 1/2 of the dough).

To make dough, dissolve yeast in milk. Sift dry ingredients, cut butter into them as you would for a pie crust. Toss in the liquids. Knead until smooth, Let rise 2 hours. Divide into 4 parts. Roll each part very thin. Spread with the filling and roll as for a jelly roll. Bake on a lightly greased sheet at 350° until brown.

The time varies from 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour. Slice into pieces of desired size to serve. To make walnut filling, mix together all of the ingredients, and add enough cold water to moisten. The amount will vary with the size and moistness of the apples. You will probably use from 1 to 2 Tb. The filling should be moist, not wet or loose.

For poppy seed filling, bring all ingredients to a boil. The mixture will be very thick and must be started on a slow fire and stirred frequently. Cool well before using.

VARIATION:
Muriel's latest innovation is to use this same dough with a cheese filling. She forms these into small cakes almost resembling hamantashen, rather than the usual rolls. Try them, they are out of this world!

1 scant lb. cottage cheese 1/2 C. sugar 3 egg yolks lemon flavoring (optional)

Put cheese through a sieve, add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy. Cut dough into squares and press onto bottoms of the hollows in a cupcake tin. Use one that makes the tinyiest sized cakes. Fill each cake with a little cheese and fold over the corners of dough toward the center of the cake. Bake at 350° until brown.

Lithuanian Gooseberry Kuchen Or Shtrudel

Lithuanian Gooseberry Kuchen Or Shtrudel image

3 eggs 1/2 C. sugar 1 Tb. Water 2 t. baking powder 1/2 C. shortening 1/2 t. salt 1 t. lemon extract approximately 2 C. flour grated rind of a lemon Gooseberry or any tart jam

Beat eggs well. Add water and 1/2 C. sugar and lemon rind. Mix well. Melt shortening and allow to cool. Add to the egg mixture along with the lemon extract. Sift dry ingredients together and add enough of the flour to the mixture to make a dough which can be rolled. Divide dough in half, and roll out one half at a time. Roll into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Spread generously with gooseberry jam or any tart heavy jam. Sprinkle generously with the following:

grated coconut tiny currants chopped nuts chopped dried fruits, (dates, raisin, apricots, prunes) dried peel fruit or citron

Not all of the above ingredients are essential, but can be used according to taste. When dough is thoroughly covered with filling ingredients, roll as for a jelly roll. Repeat for other half of dough. Place rolls on a greased cookie sheet and bake in a 375° oven for 20 minutes to a half hour. When cool slice in 1/2 to 1 inch pieces. The torte is the Jewish counterpart of the pie, with this difference: whereas in the pie, the filling plays the most important part, in the torte, the filling must share honors equally with the crumbly cookie dough crust that surrounds it. Like the pie, however, the torte may be filled with any kind of fruit, and instead of a top layer of dough, a lattice top may be used.
