This recipe comes from Germany and has been passed down for generations in my family. It's the most delicious thing you will ever eat. We always serve it on Christmas morning with hot chocolate. It's perfect for a chilly morning. I know we don't have very many of those left, (those of us in the valley definitely don't) so here you go!
Grandma Schmuhl's Sugar Cake
1 recipe Refrigerator Butter Rolls (see below)
1 cube butter
1 cup sugar
Divide raised dough into two pieces. Knead into ball. Let rest while you grease two large cookie sheets. Put on cookie sheet (use a pastry roller or a glass to roll out). Dot (dime size chunk) each pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Let raise until double and bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 min.
Refrigerator Butter Rolls
1 cup milk, scalded, poured over
1 cube (1/2 c.) butter or margarine
1 pkg. yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water (it should bubble)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
4 cups flour
If you use powdered milk, you do not have to scald the milk. While waiting for the butter or margarine to soften or melt, you can add the sugar and the salt. Add yeast and eggs. Mix in 3 cups of flour and mix well. Add last cup of flour. You do not have to knead dough.
Cover and put in refrigerator over night, or cover and let raise until double in bulk.

This sounds kind of like my grandma's Kooga Pie.
ReplyDeleteShe uses Eagle brand milk, sugar and cinnamon. I never had mastered the stuff, but my mom and brother can make it. Maybe I ought to give it another try.
