Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Mix yeast and warm water in a small dish and proof according to yeast directions.
  2. Mix flour and shortening together in a large bowl till like pie dough, only finer. (I use my wire pastry cutter).
  3. Add all other dough ingredients including yeast mixture and work with your hands till well mixed and dough comes away from your hands and pan. If it seems dry, add the lemon juice, 1/2 lemon at a time until soft enough to mix.
  4. Let rise in a warm place till double in bulk. (I turn on the light in my oven and keep the door closed).
  5. It is easy to make the fruit filling for Kipfels and filled cookies. Take a pound of dried fruit, either apricots or prunes, and put them in a sauce pan to cover with water and set them on the stove to cook. Do not let all the water evaporate or the Lekvar will burn.
  6. Add a little more water to keep this from happening. Once the fruit is soft add to the fruit one cup of sugar and further cook until thick. Remove from pot and puree with a food mill or a cuisinart. The puree will should be thick, not runny. If it is runny, cook till it is thick. Ladle the puree into pint sized freezer bags. These bags can be frozen until you need them or used right away. By cutting off a small corner, the bag now becomes a pastry bag which can be used to squeeze the puree onto the kipfel before it is rolled or folded up. This saves a lot of time and mess. You will want to make both prune and apricot. You will have some filling left over that be kept frozen until you need it. Then just cut off the corner of the plastic pouch and you are ready to go.
  7. Lekvar is also used as fillings for cookies.
  8. When dough has risen, pull off about 1/4 of a cup or a small egg sized piece of dough for each cake and flatten to the size of a baby's hand (do not roll with rolling pin) but push into shape.
  9. Squeeze out about 1 tsp. of Lekvar (see recipe index) jam, and pinch up dough to cover the Lekvar jam entirely. Roll in Ground Nut mixture.
  10. Place on a greased baking pan. Let rise again for about 3/4 of and hour.
  11. Bake at 350 or moderate oven, 25 to 30 min. or till lightly brown.
  12. Cakes should be placed close together in pan, but do not crowd too closely.
  13. My kipfels look like a lot of fat little bundled up babies!
