ICING
8 oz. cream cheese
1 stick oleo
1 box powdered sugar
1 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans)
1 teasp. vanilla

Soften cream cheese and oleo. Mix all ingredients together and spread on the cooled cake.

BUTTERSCOTCH ROUNDS
1/4 cup butter
1/2 packed cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pecan halves
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 cup hottest tap water
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon soda
1 cup dairy sour cream
1 egg

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in each of two 8-inch round cake pans. Sprinkle half the brown sugar then half the pecans over the butter in each pan. Set aside while you prepare the dough.
In a large mixer bowl dissolve the yeast in the hot water. Add 1 1/3 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt, soda, sour cream, and egg. Blend on low mixer speed for about half a minute while scraping down the sides of the bowl constantly. Turn speed to high and beat for two minutes while scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Stir in the remaining flour. Using a tablespoon, drop the batter over the pecan mixture in each of the pans. Let rise in a warm spot for 50 minutes. Note, this dough will not double!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the rounds 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from oven and invert pans onto serving plates. Leave the pans in place for about a minute to allow the butterscotch to drizzle over the coffee cakes. Serve warm.

Yield: 2 round coffee cakes.

Enjoy!

The Original Old Fashion Paczki Recipe

This is the original recipe for making paczki that was brought from Europe by my wife's grandmother when she first arrived at Ellis Island and the onward to Pennsylvania where she finally settled.

Just how old this recipe really is I have no idea but the only thing I know is how good the paczki's are.

Bakery

You must follow this recipe exactly or it will not work well, I know, I have tried to create some shortcuts that were ok but not as good.

This recipe yields 4dozen of the most delicious punczki that you ever had.

Remember all ingredients should be room temperature.

1.Disolve:

¾ ounce yeast in ¼ cup warm water

warm ½ quart milk

add to the yeast and warm milk 3 cups flour and let rise for about ½ hour to create what is called a sponge.

2.Put together:

½ quart warm milk

¼ lb. Butter

2 tablespoons shortening

½ cup sugar

2 tablespoons whiskey

3.Mix steps 1 and 2 with 6 eggs, pinch of salt, 9 cups flour and mix until you get a really good textured dough.

Let the dough rise until double in size, cut the dough into 2 ounce pieces and form balls.

Place the dough balls on a well oiled flat pan, let them rise for about ½ hour to about ¾ hour.

Fry dough balls in 350 degree oil until well browned on both sides then put them on a brown paper bag to drain the oil form frying.

Let cool for a while and fill using a pastry bag with a tip that has a whole about the size of a pencil, roll in sugar or 10x sugar and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee.

You can fill them with prune leckvar or any jellies that you like.
