TODAY's CASES:

Strudels and Stew

I promised I would send you this recipe that I had been looking for 
and finally found a cousin that had it. It was from our old German 
grandmothers Mrs. Nunweiler and Mrs Wagner.



Strudels  [and stew]

3 cups flour                           1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt                                1 1/2 cups warm water
1 egg

Make a stiff dough.  Add more water or flour as you don't want a sticky dough.
If you have a bread machine you can make the dough in it. Otherwise mix dough 
until nice and smooth and easy to handle.  Put dough on floured board, let rest 
for about an hour.  Take pieces of dough the size of a cup and roll out. Put oil 
on rolled dough stretch until its like tissue.  It sometimes rips but that doesn't
matter (no rings helps from ripping0. To stretch lift up with both hands, stretch 
by pulling around and out like a pizza chef does, only much thinner than pizza. 
Put on table, put some sauted onions, roll like a jelly roll. Cut in 2" pieces. 
Have a pot of water with potatoes, onions and a bit of oil come to a boil. Put
Strudels on top and cover with lid.  Let cook for 20-25 minutes without opening. 
Should be ready to serve with whatever meat and vetables you like. delicious.

Hi Zona,

Sorry, I can't find a chip dip recipe with Bovril.

However, I did find a "boiled baby" recipe. See below.
