Jewish cooking
Roll this out very lightly on a well-floured board, brush over with a
feather dipped in melted butter and strew thickly with chopped almonds,
sultanas and currants. Next fold over about three fingers' width of the
dough. Brush the upper surface of this fold with melted butter and strew
with mixed fruit and almonds. Fold over again and repeat the operation
until the whole of the dough is folded up in layer somewhat resembling
a flattened, roley poley pudding. Brush the top well with another
feather dipped in beaten egg and cut the whole into thick slices or
fingers. Let them stand for half an hour and then bake for an hour in a
rather slow oven.
A CHEAP COFFEE CAKE
This German coffee cake is made by kneading into a pint of bread dough
one well-beaten egg, one-half cup of sugar, and a generous tablespoon of
butter. The mixture is rolled flat, placed in a shallow pan, let rise
again until very light, sprinkled with finely chopped nuts, dusted over
with sugar and cinnamon and baked in a quick oven.
BOHEMIAN KOLATCHEN
Make kuchen dough. Add a little cinnamon and mace and one teaspoon of
anise seed, well pounded, or flavor to taste. Let rise till very light,
then take out on mixing board and roll out to about one-half inch in
thickness. Cut in rounds three inches in diameter and lay on a
well-buttered pan, pressing down the centre of each so as to raise a
ridge around the edge. When well risen, brush the top over with
stiffly-beaten white of an egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
ZWIEBACK
Scald one-half cup of milk and when lukewarm add to one cake of
compressed yeast. Add one-fourth cup of sugar, one-fourth cup of melted
butter, one-half teaspoon of salt and three eggs unbeaten, one-half
teaspoon of powdered anise and enough flour to handle. Let rise until
light. Make into oblong rolls the length of middle finger and place
together in a buttered pan in parallel rows, two inches apart. Let rise
again and bake twenty minutes. When cold, cut in one-half inch slices
and brown evenly in the oven.
SOUR CREAM KOLATCHEN
Cream one-half cup of butter, add five yolks, two tablespoons of sugar,
grated rind of a lemon, one cup of thick sour cream and one ounce or two
cakes of yeast dissolved with a little sugar in two tablespoons of
lukewarm milk. Stir all together and add three cups of flour; mix and
drop from end of teaspoon on well-greased pans. Let rise until light in
a warm place. Place a raisin or cherry on the top of each cake, spread
