German Roll Kuchen Recipes

Steps:

• Beat eggs well.
• Put into a 1 cup measuring cup and fill with milk. (This may end up being more or less than the 3/4 cup listed in the ingredients.)
• Add to remaining ingredients and mix to combine.
• Roll out very thin and cut into strips.
• Cut again so that pieces are approximately 1 inch long by 3 inches wide.
• Cut a slit in the middle and pull one end through to knot it.
• Fry four to six at a time, in deep hot fat until golden brown.
• Serve with Watermelon!
• A Mennonite summer tradition!

Steps:

• Mix and make a soft but not sticky dough.
• Roll and cut into oblong pieces.
• Make a cut in the centre (but not from edge to edge).
• Take an end and pull through the middle.
• Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
• Let cool.
• Sprinkle with icing sugar.
• Eat with watermelon.

Steps:

• 1. Dough- Scald milk and add butter, sugar, and salt. Dissolve yeast in warm water in seperate bowl and then add to milk mixture. Beat in eggs and then flour. Cover and let rise until doubled. About an hour. Punch down and divide into 5 pieces. Roll out into desired shape and let rise 30 minutes. Then choose your topping. I used a 9" round cake pan for mine.
• 2. Cinnamon Topping: Use a pastry blender to mix butter and brown sugar and flour. Add cinnamon and sprinkle over dough after it rises the second time. Dot with Butter if desired. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
• 3. Cherry Topping: Heat can of dark cherry pie filling and spread on crust after it rises second time. Bake for 20 minutes at 375.
• 4. Cheese Topping; Mix cottage cheese, egg and sugar in blender intil creamy. Heat slowly until warm on stove. Pour on dough after rises second time. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
• 5. Butter Topping: Beat together sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Slowly beat in oil. Add oil too fast and it will curdle. Heat on top of stove until hot and pour on crust after second rising. Bake 25 minutes at 375.
• 6. Apple Topping: Peel and slice thinly 3 apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and nutmeg to taste. Roll this dough out in a rectangle. Fill the center with apples and dot with butter. Bake 20 minutes at 375.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a large mixing bowl, and beat until frothy. Gradually beat in the flour and salt to make a soft dough. Roll out the dough to be fairly thin, about 1/8 inch, and cut into 2 inch by 5 inch strips. Cut a slit down the center of each strip, and twist so one end slides through the slit and makes a loop.
• Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a deep skillet (or use a deep-fat fryer) over medium-high heat, 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cook dough in small batches in preheated oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13-by-18-inch jelly-roll pan; line with parchment paper, letting it come up the short sides by about 2 inches. Brush the paper with oil or melted butter and lightly dust with flour.
• For the filling, whisk the evaporated milk, 1 cup sugar, 3 egg yolks and the cubed butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla, the coconut and pecans. Set aside to cool completely, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the cocoa and chocolate in another bowl. Add the hot coffee to the cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth; stir in the buttermilk and the remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla.
• Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and the remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar in a large bowl on high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; add the 3 whole eggs, 1 at a time, incorporating each before adding the next. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the cocoa mixture in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just blended; if necessary, fold the batter together with a rubber spatula.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed lightly, about 16 minutes. Cool slightly in the pan.
• Run a knife around the edge and slide the cake with its paper onto a work surface. Spread the coconut filling evenly over the cake. Roll the cake from one of the short ends, pulling it away from the parchment into a tight cylinder; transfer to a platter. Cool completely and dust with the confectioners' sugar or cocoa.

Steps:

• Mix together to form a dough.
• (This dough works best if you chill it for an hour or so).
• Roll out on floured surface and cut into strips with a knife or pizza cutter.
• Cut each strip into rectangles.
• Cut a small slit in each rectangle and pull one end through to form a twisted shape.
• Fry in hot lard, in small batches (5 or 6 at a time), until golden on each side.
• It is hot enough when the dough rises immediately to the surface.
• Serve with watermelon.
• These freeze well.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Pour 2 1/2 cups flour into a large bowl and form a well in the center.
• In a separate container, mix yeast, sugar, and two tablespoons water (water comes from the 1 cup above).
• Pour yeast mixture into the well but do not mix with the flour at this time.
• Cover bowl with a cloth and set it in a warm place for 15 minutes to rise.
• Add remaining water and oil and beat until mixed. Add SALT.
• Turn dough out onto counter and knead until smooth. Adding remaining 1/2 cup flour as needed.
• Put dough in bowl, cover and let rise until double in size. (about 30-40 minutes).
• Punch down and divide dough into 12 parts.
• Shape into oval rolls and place 3" apart on greased and floured cookie sheet.
• Cover and let rise until double in size.
• Beat egg white and 1 tsp water with a fork until frothy and brush onto rolls.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• The time is an estimate, depending on how fast your dough rises.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add enough flour to make soft dough, but don't over mix it. Roll out onto a lightly floured surface until about 1/4" thick and cut into 3" x 5" strips. Deep fry for 2 - 3 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, salt, oil, egg and 2-1/2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate overnight., The next day, for custard, whisk the eggs, cream and sugar in a large bowl until combined; set aside. Divide dough into 4 portions. , On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 10-in. circle. Press each circle onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Arrange 2 to 2-1/2 cups of fruit in each crust. Pour 1 cup custard over fruit., For topping, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 1/3 cup over each coffee cake. Cover edges of dough with foil. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and custard reaches 160°.
