Schenken Flecken Recipes

Steps:

• 1. To make the dough, melt the 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the milk and sugar and heat just to lukewarm (about 110°F), stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the warm milk mixture into a bowl. Stir in the yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes, then stir in the salt.
• 2. Beat the whole egg and egg yolk together and add to the yeast mixture. Stir in the flour 1 cup at a time until you have a sticky dough. Scrape the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until you have a nice smooth dough. Butter a large bowl. Place the dough in the prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Put the bowl in a warm place and allow the dough to rise for 2 hours, until tripled in volume.
• 3. Meanwhile, brush a 9 × 13-inch baking pan with some melted butter (or spray it with vegetable oil spray). To prepare the sugar-pecan topping, melt the butter with the brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to combine. Remove from the heat and spread the mixture in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
• 4. Punch down the dough and turn it out of the bowl onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for a minute, then use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle about 15 × 12 inches and 1/8 inch thick. To make the cinnamon-sugar filling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and allow it to cool. Brush the butter thoroughly over the surface of the dough. In a bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the melted butter. Roll the rectangle up, like a jelly roll, along one long edge.
• 5. Slice the log of rolled dough into 1-inch-thick slices and arrange the slices, cut sides up, in the prepared pan. Cover the pan with a piece of plastic wrap (you can spray the plastic wrap first with vegetable oil spray to be sure it doesn't stick to the dough) and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes.
• 6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the schnecken until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time. Check them occasionally during the baking time, and if they seem to be browning too quickly, loosely cover them with a sheet of aluminum foil.
• 7. Remove the pan from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn the schnecken out of the pan while still warm by inverting the pan over a large platter or baking sheet. Serve the schnecken warm.

Steps:

• Butter a 2-quart casserole. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the onion in the butter to soften. Add the cooked, drained noodles to the pan and stir to coat well. Add the sour cream and beaten eggs, stirring to mix. Mix in the ham, caraway seeds, mace and pepper. Add the milk to lighten the mixture, if needed.
• Turn into prepared casserole. Top with bread crumbs, if desired, and paprika for color.
• Bake 40-45 minutes. Do not freeze this casserole.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• 2. In a large saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth. Take off heat and cool slightly.
• 3. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
• 4. Add the egg yolks to the cooled butter and flour mixture. Stir in sour cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Combine the cooked and drained noodles and sour cream mixture. Stir in ham. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
• 5. Put into prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle cheese over top and cook an additional 25 minutes or until cheese starts to brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• combine flour and butter. Make a smooth sauce over medium heat. Take off heat and cool slightly. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
• Add the egg yolks to the cooled butter and flour mixture. Stir in sour cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Combine the cooked and drained noodles and sour cream mixture. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.

Steps:

• Boil noodles Combine sour cream, eggs and pepper in dish and pour over noodles Mix noodle and sauce mixture in oven safe dish Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes

Steps:

• Mix the salt and cabbage together and let stand 30 minutes.
• Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Heat the butter in a deep skillet, add the onions, cabbage, sugar and pepper.
• Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until cabbage is browned, about 25/30 minutes.
• Add the noodles and toss to blend thoroughly.
• Note: To reduce fat, you can use just 1 tablespoon butter and saute the cabbage for a few minutes, then finish with a little chicken stock, stirring frequently.

Steps:

• Butter a 12-cup muffin pan.
• Line a roasting pan or baking pan with parchment paper (for turning the sticky buns onto later)large enough to cover muffin pan.
• Combine flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
• Melt butter in the milk over very low heat and beat in eggs.
• Stir milk/butter mixture into the dry ingredients to make the dough. Knead for 10 minutes or for 5 with dough hook. When it is springy and satiny, form a ball and put in a greased bowl. Turn to coat and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Syrup: Using an electric mixer cream butter until soft and smooth and add sugar. Beat in syrups and then divide mixture among the muffin cups and top with walnuts (about a tablespoonful in each sticky-based waiting cup.).
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Knock dough back, knead once or twice and then roll out to a large rectangle (apx 24X12) with the long side nearest you. Beat egg and add milk; glaze the dough using a pastry brush or your fingers.
• Mix the filling ingredients in a little bowl and sprinkle onto the dough. Now, roll up from the long side and away from you, carefully and firmly (not too tight) keeping a firm sausage shape.
• Cut into 12 even slices, and lie each slice spiral-swirly cut side up, on top of the nuts and syrup in the muffin cups.
• Leave to rise for about 20 minutes then put into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, by which time they should be golden and cooked: crisp in parts, voluptuously gooey in others. You may want to put a baking sheet under pan to catch any falling goo.
• Place roasting pan or baking sheet on top and turn the whole thing the other way up. Remove the muffin tray and dislodge any nuts that are still stuck in it, adding them, along with any residual syrup, to the upturned buns.
• Leave to cool, then stuff your face -- as if you needed encouragement.

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs on the bottom of the slow cooker.
• In a large skillet, toast the walnuts over med-high heat about 3 minutes.
• Transfer walnuts to a food processor and "finely" chop them.
• Add the walnuts to the slow cooker.
• Add the water & bay leaf to the cooker and cover.
• Cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is tender & reads 180F on an instant read thermometer.
• Use tongs to remove the chicken.
• Pull the meat off the bones & set the meat aside.
• Turn the cooker to high and stir in the sugar and pomegranate molasses.
• Cook 1 hour or until the sauce is thickened and simmering. (If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer it to a saucepan instead and boil for 20-25 minutes).
• Return the chicken to the sauce and cook until the chicken is heated through.
• Discard the bay leaf.
• Serve sprinkled with pomegranate seeds.
