Bohemian Potato Horns Recipes

Steps:

• Mix potatoes, salt, pepper, onion, parsley, nutmeg, eggs and semolina thoroughly.
• Add milk and sifted flour. Mix all ingredients well.
• Knead on floured board.
• Shape into rolls, the approximate size of a walnut (in shell).
• Drop in boiling salted water. Boil 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove with a slotted spoon.
• Note: You can also brown in butter and serve with your favourite sauce or gravy.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of water with the 1 teaspoon of sugar. Set aside to rise. Heat buttermilk, butter and 4 tablespoons sugar, putting them in a mixing bowl. Add mashed potatoes, salt, eggs and 4 cups of the flour. Add yeast mixture. Add enough additional flour to make soft dough. Let rise until doubled. Punch down and let rise again until doubled. Put on floured board, divide into 6 balls, let rise. Roll each one out into a circle and brush with melted butter. Cut into 8 wedges and roll each up into a horn. Put on greased pan to rise. Mix yolk of egg with milk and brush on the horns. Sprinkle top with poppy seeds if desired. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:

• Crumble the compressed yeast into a small bowl, and mix in 2 teaspoons of sugar. Set aside. In a small saucepan, heat milk until a skin forms on the top. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
• Place 1 cup of butter and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into a large bowl. Pour the hot milk over them, and stir until butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to just above body temperature. Beat in the eggs, one at a time mixing well after each one, then stir in the yeast mixture. Add 3 cups of flour, and mix until well blended. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, mixing as well as you can. The dough will be sticky. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• After the dough has risen, punch down, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Divide the dough into four pieces. Use one piece at a time, leaving the rest in the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll the piece of dough out into a 12 inch circle. Spread about 2 tablespoons of butter over the surface. Cut into 8 wedges, as you would a pizza. Roll each wedge starting at the wide end, and ending at the point. Place onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, and bend the ends so that they are crescent shaped. Cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled. This will take about 2 hours because the dough is cold.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine shortening and milk. Heat until shortening is melted; set aside to cool. Dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in the warm water. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt together. Add the milk mixture and yeast mixture to the egg mixture, stirring to blend. Sift in the flour and baking powder, and mix well. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Divide dough into fourths, and on a floured surface, roll out into 1/2 inch thick circles. Spread surface with the soft butter. Cut each circle like a pie into 8 triangles, and roll up from larger to small end. Place rolls point side down on a baking sheet, and allow to rise until doubled, 3 to 4 hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
• Bake rolls for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
