Polish Pierogies (Potato Cheese)

Mon, 22 Apr 2002 16:37:58 -0400

These pierogies are much better than store bought in my opinion. They take some time to prepare, but they are worth it. Experiment with different fillings...I have tried everything from sauerkraut to tuna salad! If you have never had pierogies, they are pasta pockets usually filled with a potato filling. My grandmother was Polish, and we have always had pierogies at Easter, New Year's and just as a side dish throughout the year. I am always so surprised when people ask what they are because I have always known and just assumed everyone else did :) -- posted by Karen=^..^=

Polish Dill Pickles Made in a Crock

Tue, 06 Aug 2002 19:31:35 -0400

While my Polish grandmother canned the world's best dill pickles, she made "crock" pickles to use up the over abundance of cucumbers. They were our favorites. I make them in smaller amounts using the ratio of ingredients to the amount of cucumbers. Leave out the grape leaves if you can't find them. Prep time does not include fermentation time. -- posted by Lorac

Chrusciki- Bow Knots

Thu, 20 Mar 2003 20:07:56 -0500

These Polish cookies are very time consuming to make. It's a great help to have a bunch of your favorite family members to help! They are very flavorful and rich. This recipe makes hundreds of cookies. Literally. But they are worth it in the end. The cognac can easily be omitted entirely But why bother! You can cut the kneading time down by using a food processor! Use a couple of pans for frying to make it go faster! (Assembly line)! Cook time is 1 minute per batch of cookies! -- posted by ~Rita~

Polish Canape Butters (Polska Maslo)

Wed, 31 May 2006 19:49:09 -0400

NOTE: the "l" in maslo is pronounced as a "w". Kanapki rarely exceed 2 inches in diameter, are often silver-dollar-sized or even smaller (bite-size). At least two different kinds of bread should be used: Light and dark. In addition to commercially available party rye and similar rounds of white canapé bread, you can also prepare your own. Rogale (Polish-style large crescent rolls available in ethnic bakeries) as well as rod-type French bread (baguettes) can be sliced into thin rounds. Bakeries usually have commercial slicers and can do the job for you on request. You can also slice away the crust from a whole, unsliced loaf of Polish rye bread, slice it, and cut the slices into circles, squares, or triangles. The canapé bread is usually spread with plain or flavored butter and topped with lettuce or other greens, cold meats, cheese, fish, or hard-boiled egg slices, and garnished with fresh or pickled veggies, sauces, and the like. Others are covered with a layer of canapé spread and decorated with colorful trimmings. Here are but a few of the many spreads possible. Each amount depends on individual tastes. -- posted by Nana Lee

Dycio Crescents

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:35:34 -0500

These crescents are not very sweet, but light and flaky in texture, and the jam centers make them that much more delightful. I used the Solo Apricot filling, but the Almond flavor is also a very good choice for variation. This recipe was passed on to me by a friends who bakes without written recipes, and put a lot of effort to give me the ingredients and preparation directions. If you would like to see a picture of the finished product, please check it out on my blog: http://suburbangrandma.com/recipes/dycio-crescents-cookie-recipe/ -- posted by Suburban Grandma
