My daughter has really taken to cooking and baking. Here is one of my favorites she makes!
Cake -
3 C all purpose flour
1 C sugar
1 T + 1 t baking powder
1 1/2 C milk
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
1/2 C melted butter
Topping -
1 C butter (softened)
1 C dark brown sugar (packed)
2 T flour
2 T cinnamon
Glaze -
2 C powdered sugar
1 T cinnamon
5 T milk
1 t vanilla
For the cake, in a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the butter. Add butter slowly, mixing into cake mixture. Pour into greased 9x13 pan.
For the topping, mix all together until combined. Drop evenly over cake batter and swirl with a knife. Bake @ 350 for 20 - 35 mins until toothpick comes out clean (check cakey part, not topping area). Drizzle glaze over cake while still warm.
This meat pie is traditionally served with yellow mustard (squeeze a line across pie with each bite) and a cold beer!
Filling -
2 lbs hamburger (or 1lb hamburger & 1 lb chicken - diced)
1 onion (chopped)
1 head green cabbage (chopped)
roasted garlic (1 T heaping spoonful, mashed)
salt & pepper to taste
Dough -
6 C all purpose flour
1/4 + 1/8 C sugar
1 1/2 t salt
3 1/4 t + 1/8 t active dry yeast
6 T shortening
2 eggs
1/4 + 1/8 C warm water
1 1/2 C milk
2 T honey
- Oven 350 deg, cookie sheet (very lightly greased).
- Cook meat and onion together. Drain. Add roasted garlic, salt and pepper. Mix.
- Steam cabbage until almost tender. Drain. Mix with meat mixture.
- Set bread machine to dough setting, add all wet ingredients. Add dry on top of the wet, making a dip in the center for the yeast, place yeast in dip. Process on dough setting. (if making dough manually, follow direction from a dough recipe....I haven't done it since I bought a bread machine YEARS ago...)
- Once dough is made and has risen, kneed gently on floured surface. Roll out in managable amounts, as thin as you can get it. Cut circles out with a cereal bowl (or something about 4" across.)
- Place a good amount of filling in center of dough circle, so that dough barely folds over to cover, fold over into a crescent and pinch the edges.
- Place on cookie sheet, bake for 20 - 25 mins until golden brown.
- Cool a bit, serve with yellow mustard.
- If not eating full batch, cool completely, place in heavy duty freezer zip locks and freeze.
- Re-heat directly from freezer in the microwave.
