Among the 1st to visit us here in Iceland were our friends (Cyd & Don pictured on my About Me pg) from Canada. This is Cyd's mom's recipe that she so kindly shared w/me. She also explained . Knish is an eastern-European Jewish or Yiddish appetizer, lunch dish or dinner side-dish. It's a dumpling covered w/a dough shell that is either baked or fried. It's sometimes combined w/onion (fabulous. ) or filled w/cheese as shown here. In the most traditional version, the dumpling is made entirely of mashed potato. Thank you Rose & Cydney. (Times shown do not include time for the dough to rest overnight). Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil |
1 egg |
3/4 cup sour cream |
2 teaspoons sugar (to taste) |
2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
salt (to taste) |
1 lb dry curd cottage cheese |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 tablespoon butter (melted) |
Directions:
1. Mix all dough ingredients & let dough sit overnight in the fridge.
2. Remove dough from refrigerator & separate into 3 balls.
3. Roll ea ball out very thin. Put filling along edge & roll up. Can bake in 1 piece. (See note below).
4. Brush w/melted butter & bake at 400 F for 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 F & cont baking till golden brown (approx 35-45 min total). Serve w/sour cream & strawberries.
5. NOTE: Per Cyd, Some people use their hand & separate into individual small pieces. I have never been successful doing that. .
