Yield: 24 servings

2 1/2 c Sifted flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
2 Eggs
2/3 c Salad oil
2 tb Water
Sift the flour, baking
-powder and salt into a
-bowl. Make a
Well in the center and drop
-the eggs, oil and water
-into
It. Work into the flour
-mixture with the hand and
-knead
Until smooth.
There are two ways to fill
-the knishes. In either
-case,
Divide the dough in two and
-roll as thin as possible.
Brush with oil. Now you can
-spread the filling on one
-side
Of the dough and roll it up,
-like a jelly roll. Cut
-into
5 1/2 Inch slices.

Here’s the basics, fillings follow in the next messages.

DOUGH:

Place in an oiled baking sheet cut side down. Press down lightly to
flatten. Or you can cut the rolled dough in 3- inch circles. Place a
tablespoon of the filling on each; draw the edges together and pinch
firmly. Place on an oiled baking sheet, pinched edges up

In either case, bake in a 375 degree oven 35 minutes or until browned.
Makes about 24.

FILLINGS FOR KNISHES

POTATO: 1 cup chopped onions 6 tablespoons chicken fat or butter 2
cups mashed potatoes 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Brown the onions in the fat or butter. Beat in the potatoes, egg,
salt and pepper until fluffy.

CHEESE 1 1/2 cups diced scallions or onions 4 tablespoons butter 2
cups pot cheese 1 egg 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2
tablespoons sour cream

Scallions are better than onions for this, so try to get them. Brown
the scallions in the butter and beat in the cheese, egg, salt, pepper
and sour cream until smooth.

MEAT: 1/2 cup minced onions 2 tablespoons chicken fat 1 1/2 cups
ground cooked meat 1/2 cup cooked rice 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1/4

Lightly brown the onions in the fat. Add the meat, rice, egg, salt and
pepper, mixing until smooth.

POTATO-DOUGH KNISHES

1/4 cup minced onions 6 tablespoons chicken fat or butter 4 cups
mashed potatoes 1/2 cup potato flour 3 eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1/4
teaspoon pepper

Brown the onions in 4 tablespoons chicken fat or butter. Cool.

Knead together the remaining fat or butter, the pota- toes, potato
flour, eggs, salt and pepper. Break off pieces (about 2 inches long)
and flatten slightly. Place a tea- spoon of browned onions on each
and cover by pinching the edges together. Place on a greased baking
sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven 25 minutes. Makes about 20.

Fatfree ‘potstickers’

I made some fatfree ‘potstickers’ the other day. My new Korean housemate
said that they were good but they needed more salt, and that she personally
prefers them steamed to fry/steamed as it is done in restaurants here.

This is a time and labor intensive recipe, but when it’s done, you’ll be
very happy as you suck down dozens of these things which usually go for
6/$3 in restaurants!

Buy:

2 packages of prepared potsticker or gyoza skins (find ones without egg).
They are about 3″ in diameter, round.

Prepare filling:

in a large pot, ‘saute’:

6 large carrots, grated
1/4-1/2 small head of cabbage, sliced thinly
1/4 c. unsweetened rice wine
1/2 t. (or less) black sesame oil, enough to flavor the filling to your taste.

When carrots and cabbage have softened, place about 1/2 of the carrot/cabbage
mixture in a food processor and process with:

1 can (small, 10 oz?) bamboo shoots
1 handful of dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked (10-20+ mushrooms, to taste)

mix blended stuff with unblended cabbage and carrots and add:

1 cup TVP, hydrated with some mushroom-soaking water, then drained
2 T. white or yellow miso, mixed until smooth with about 1/4 c. water
soy sauce to taste
white pepper to taste
chopped scallions (optional)
2 T. cornstarch, mixed until smooth with about 1/4 c. water

The filling should be moist and cohesive, but not drippy, so adjust water
amounts.

Place a small blob of filling in the center of each potsticker wrapper.
Fold the wrapper in half, using water to seal. Join the points of the
resulting half circle together, which will result in a little round ‘hat’;
it looks sort of like a tortellini (tortellinus?). Or do the traditional
potsticker fold if you know how (it’s harder to explain).

Place several potstickers on a bed of cabbage leaves in your bamboo steamer
over a pot of boiling water. Cover, and do something else for about 7 min.
Eat potstickers immediately with a sauce of:

1 part soy sauce
1 part rice vinegar
some grated fresh ginger or chopped scallions

You will need a few friends to help you eat these.

CURRANT CAKES (OLD-FASHIONED CHRISTMAS DROP CAKES)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 lb Sugar
1 lb Butter
6 ea Egg
3/4 lb Flour
1/4 t Salt
1/2 lb Currants
1 ea Lemon, juice of
1 ea Lemon, rind of

Mix the currants with some of the flour. Work butter and sugar
together to a smooth cream, then slowly work in whole eggs one at a
time. Add a little of the flour, rind and juice of the lemon and salt.
Work in slowly the rest of the flour and the currants. Drop by
spoonfuls on large buttered pans, pressing flat with a knife as the
cakes are better when very thin. A good plan is to heat the pan a bit
and allow the cakes to melt as much as possible before putting them in
the oven to bake. Be sure to butter the pans thoroughly; otherwise,
the thin cakes will be difficult to remove.
