HUNGARIAN NUT ROLLS

Dough:

6 cups sifted flour
1/2 lb. shortening or lard (1 cup)
1/2 lb. butter (1 cup)
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 package yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 pint sour cream (1 cup)
2 egg yolks
filling (see below)


Combine sifted flour, sugar, and salt; cut in butter and lard (the original recipe calls for lard but you may use shortening if you prefer).
Soften the yeast in the lukewarm water and sugar. Set aside for five minutes.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, and stir in the sour cream and egg yolks to combine. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead with lightly oiled hands until blended thoroughly and dough begins to become smooth and elastic. Place in a large, lightly greased bowl turning once to coat, and set aside in a warm place free from draft, until doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down and place in a large ziploc bag and refrigerate overnight.

The following morning, roll 1/4" thick and cut into 2 inch squares. Place 1 tablespoon filling (see below) into center of each square and fold two opposite ends toward center. Pinch to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Makes about two dozen rolls.


Nut Filling:

2 egg whites, (do not beat)
3/4 lb. mixed chopped nuts (2 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon bread crumbs
1/2 cup sugar

Combine ingredients to use for filling the rolls.

FANCY HUNGARIAN STYLE HAMBURGERS
(MAGYAR FASIRT VAGDOLT)
1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp. paprika
2 med. potatoes, finely greased

BREADING:

1 c. flour
1 beaten egg with 1 tbsp. water
1 c. bread crumbs
Bacon grease for frying

Mix meat, egg, salt, pepper, paprika, and grated potatoes together. If potatoes are watery. Pour off excess liquid before mixing.
Mix this up really good and make hamburgers, then dip the hamburger into the flour on both sides. Then in the egg on both sides and then in the bread crumbs on both side and put in hot grease until outsides are nice and brown. Now you can drain off the grease and fry slow until done or you can lift them out of the grease and put them at 250 degrees to bake. If you want crispy, bake uncovered but if you want soft bake covered. You may make a rue and pour over hamburgers before serving and garnish with parsley.
