Can someone please tell me how to customize my name so it reads something other than "Registered User"....
it may be your dough recipe itself....my mother always used crisco between each layer, these pastries were so light they would float away...(but they were not called butterhorns, please describe) and they were made with ingredients bought in NJ.
(sorry christine~you'll be slapping me soon)?
Thanks, Fandy. I guess it's okay to discuss recipes here. Kind of a good way to offset the heavy emotions of these forums. Butterhorns, from what I recall from my youth, were like a cookie croissant- very buttery but with a melt away cookie texture and often had a filling of nuts or prunes or poppy seeds. What pastry was your mother's recipe for?
Hey yall, the Perseids meteor shower peaks in the early morning... by my calculations around 3 a.m. it should be putting on a great show. We are gonna head up to the mountains in the early a.m. to see if we can see anything, and then spend the day doing nature photography. If you get a chance, check the sky out to see if you can spot a shooting star or 2, before dawn.
these were called KIEFLEs (my hungarian is very rusty and i think this spelling is wrong). it was a dough made in advance with a good slab of crisco between each layer, then chilled before it was rolled out and cut into 2X2 squares. The fillings were ground walnuts/sugar, prune butter (lekvar), stewed apricots, or stewed appleand walnut. I will pick my mothers brain at some point (shes 89 and cant remember new but her old memories are pretty clear). it was a flakey puffed pastry....I will also check with some other older hungarians i know and get back to you.

Okay, got my joke of the day out.
(snipped for space)you must want these cookies very badly, this recipe was a LOT of work! my mother got lazy in the 70s and switched to a cream-cheese dough which was not puffy.:clap:
