Schnitz Un Knepp (Dried Apples, Dumplings and Ham)
Here's a very typical Dutch recipe that I get a lot of requests for. I think it's great any time of year but due to the cooking time, maybe fall and winter would be the best time to make it.
1 3 lb. ham
1 qt. dried schnitz (apples)
Dumpling Batter:
2 c. flour
1 egg
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. melted shortening
Boil ham for 2 hours. Pick over and clean dried apples and soak them in enough water to cover them, for as long as meat is boiling. When meat is done, add dried apples and water that they've been soaking in and continue to boil for another hour.
Prepare dumpling batter: sift together the dry ingredients and mix the dough with egg (which has been beaten), the melted shortening and the milk. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into the boiling liquid of the ham and apples. Cover tightly and cook for 15 minutes. You may add raisins if desired.
one of my favorites...........salty ham is best.............ham hocks work great | |

Posted: 10/15/2008 2:24:28 PM | Rivel soup, also called Dough Ball Soup, is great for when company drops by. In an old Dutch home, you'd never get company without feeding them, no matter how unexpected they are. The ingredients are considered staples in most old dutch kitchens.
RIVEL SOUP
8 cups of chicken broth (I use canned)
1 onion, diced
2 Tbsp dried parsley
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 cans corn
2 cups chicken, cooked, and diced
Bring the broth to a boil.
In a bowl, mix flour, salt and eggs until you have a crummy mixture (not smooth, itÃll make crumbs). Rub mixture between your fingers over the broth dropping small amounts in. These are called rivels. They should not be big, that is a dumpling. Maybe pea size.
Add corn and cook about 10 - 15 minutes.
add the chicken just before you take it off the stove. | |

Posted: 10/15/2008 2:26:07 PM | Filled Noodles
This is a great recipe, sorry no great timesaving short-cuts. It sounds like a lot of work to make your own pot pie dough, it's not really. If you use a food processor, it comes together quickly. Other than the time spent on the dough, it's a pretty quick recipe (for Dutch cooking). It smells great while it's cooking, and tastes like a take-off of Shepherd's Pie, of course with noodles instead of potatoes. If you don't know what Shepherd's Pie is, write me and I'll send you the recipe. Enjoy!
Step 1: Make Pot Pie Dough
Mix together
2 c. flour
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
3-4 tbsp. water
Combine to form a dough. Roll thin on a board or cookie sheet.
Step 2: The filling
1 lb. hamburger
1 small onion (chopped)
1 egg
1/4 c. bread crumbs
salt & pepper to taste
Brown the hamburger and onion until done. Place in a bowl to cool slightly. Add egg and bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
Step 3: Assembly
Take the hamburger mixture and spread it over the pot pie dough. Dip your finger (or a pastry brush) in water and brush around the outside edge of the dough.
Roll up the dough/hamburger, the water on the edge will make it stick together.
Carefully cut this roll into 1 inch slices. In a large boiler, put about 6-8 ozs. beef gravy (we use canned gravy, you can't tell), lay the pinwheels in a single layer on gravy, and add another 6-8 ozs. gravy on top. If you're using canned gravy, add another 1/2 can of water. Boil on top of the stove gently (low heat) partially covered for about 1 hour. If it gets too dry, you may add some more water. It should have gravy when it's done. | |

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
pie crust
Mix flour, sugar and cherries in a bowl. Fill unbaked pie crust with the cherries. Put on the top crust and poke holes or slits to vent. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes, then reduce to 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH SHOO-FLY PIE WET BOTTOM
Shoo Fly pie is extremely popular in our area. In fact, it's probably the most popular icon of the PA Dutch area. Everyone has their own little secret, use this molasses, that butter, etc. The trick to a good pie is definitely in the molasses. These are the recipes I came up with. I have not tried them all, see what you think.
Crust
2 C. flour
1 tbsp. salt
2/3 C. Butter Flavored Crisco,divided
5-7 tbsp. Ice water
1 egg
Crumbs
4 C.flour
2 C. sugar
1 tbsp. baking soda
1 C. butter or margarine
Filling
2 C. unsulphured molasses
2 c. warm water
1 egg
2 tsp. baking soda
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Crust: Combine flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in 1/3 c. Butter Flavor Crisco using pastry blender (or 2 knives) until flour blends into fine crumbs. Cut in remaining 1/3 c. Crisco until coarse crumbs form.
Stir in egg.
Sprinkle with water, one tbsp.. at a time. Toss lightly with fork until dough forms a ball. Press between hands to form two 5-6 in. "pancakes".
Flour rolling surface and rolling pin lightly. Roll one "pancake" Into circle. Trim 1 in. larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate. Fold into quarters. Unfold and press into pie plate. Flute. repeat for second pie shell.
Crumbs: Combine flour, sugar and baking soda in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender (or 2 knives) until crumbs form. Set aside.
Filling: Combine molasses, water, egg and baking soda in large bowl.
Beat at low speed of electric mixer until blended. Add half the crumb mixture to filling. Beat at low speed just until blended. Pour into unbaked pie shells, filling a little over half full (you may not use all the filling). Sprinkle remaining crumbs over both pies.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 min. Reduce oven to 375'F. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on cooling rack. Place each pie inside separate plastic bag. Fasten open end with twistie. Cool completely on counter. Makes two 9-inch pies.

Posted: 10/15/2008 9:08:14 PM | Rax: For the corn pie which by the way, sounds sooooo good, what do you mean by saying " Scratch the pie". I am scratching my head wondering..... Mind you, IF I make this, I will not be putting in the eggs, hard-cooked. UGH!! But the concept of this pie sounds interesting.
I like your recipes a lot Rax | |

Posted: 10/16/2008 11:55:19 AM | all time classic
Whoopie Pies, sometimes called Gobs. They're delicious, they travel well and freeze well too. Great for picnics, or kids lunches. I have two varieties, let me know if you have any others.
Cookies:
1 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
1 c. hot water with 2 tsp. baking soda
4 1/2 c. flour
4 eggs
3/4 c. cocoa
1 c. sour milk
2 tsp. vanilla
1 or 2 shakes of salt
Filling:
1 c. milk
1 c. shortening
4 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
Mix cookie ingredients together. Batter is slightly thick so it can be dropped from a teaspoon. Drop onto cookie sheets into small rounds, trying to keep them roughly the same size. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.
For the filling: cook together the milk and flour until thick. Place in a small bowl and add sugar, shortening and vanilla. Beat until spread-able.
Choose two cookies about the same size, spread some filling on one and place the other one on top, bottoms together. | |

Posted: 10/17/2008 4:42:16 PM | Hey ya'll, OK,, about the sour cream raisin pie...
I have a strong dislike for raisins, but liked the rest of the recipe. Sooo,, I was thinking,, what if I used dates instead?? Love those... Wonder how that would work? I know it would no longer be authentic,, but how do you think it would taste anyway?
It actually sounds as if it might taste much like a buttermilk pie, I think those are so good.

Posted: 10/17/2008 11:22:08 PM | Hi Texas 
I don't like raisins either...at least not the dark ones, the golden are semi-ok, but the red ones I like. I cannot buy the red ones in Michigan, so I almost always substitute those date pieces. I can't remember what it is called, but it is not chopped, more like a hole punch from a whole date. I buy them in bags here. I love dates, but dark raisins are just too sweet and too overwhelming for me.
I was going to also suggest the Canadian favorite...Butter Tarts. There are a couple of threads here and everyone makes them slightly different, some with raisins, some not. Apparently the tarts are valued for their runny texture. Just the fact that they are called butter tarts makes me want them. I still haven't made these. I am planning to at Christmas-time. I have had this Shoo-fly Pie. It is good, but I also had it without raisins, because all I could think of was dead flies. It is very similar to a buttermilk pie, but I think it might actually be a little better, but that is just my opinion.
Edit: Oops, my mistake, I thought sour cream raisin was shoo-fly. Oh well. | |
