Re: Happy Holidays to All/now kiffles

Hey! Great stuff. Cream sauce is okay, but real pickles are better

Eeeww! My dad occasionally treated himself to a jar of some sort of fish in
a white sauce. Never knew the name, never cared to, but it was something
like gafilbitar. Not gfeltifish. Apologies for really screwing up these
spellings if any of you are fond of these... er,.... foods.

Kitty,

The lekvar I use is prune, never tried apricot. I'm Polish but we have a
lot
of foods in common with them. My mom even spoke Polish, Hungarian and
Russian fluently even though she was born in this country. We lived in a
mixed neighbor and shared foods during the holidays. I guess that is where
I
get my taste preferences from. I even like pickled herrings. They were a
staple at the Christmas holidays when I was a kid.

Well, Dan, you got me again.  Had to look up lekvar.  I found both

apricot
and prune lekvar - which do you make? So are kiffels a Hungarian treat?
Are you Hungarian?
I have so much ready now, I may try making these for new Year's instead.

Kitty,

Not the easiest things to make but if you make them one time you'll be
hooked. The recipe I use is very close to what you show but I put the
filling near an edge and roll it to the other side. The finished
product
resembles a small croissant. I make them with walnut, apricot, lekvar
and

poppyseed filling. I've tried other fillings but these are my

favorites.

Dan

Dan, I had to look up kiffel.  Oh my!  My mouth waters just reading

the

recipe!

1 pound of cream cheese
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons of baking powder

2 1/4 cups of flour

Mix all of the above together. Make into balls the size of a walnut.
Refrigerate.

After chilled overnight, roll them with a rolling pin on powder

sugared

rolling board until they are a flat

circle. Add filling by placing it in the center of the flattened

and
bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Spray baking sheets for easy

I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday. I still need to pickup a



few



things to have on hand for the unexpected visitors. Happens every



year.



The



poppyseed rolls, kiffles and horseradish are finally done. A lot



of



work



but



it wouldn't be Christmas without them.

Dan
