PREKMURJE KRAPCI

Ingredients :

the dough :
600g flour,
40g yeast ( and a little sugar ),
100-150g grease,
5-6 tablespoons milk,
a pinch salt

the filling:
1 kg cottage cheese,
500g millet meal,
1-11/2 l milk,
2 eggs,
sugar,
cinnamon,
cream,
salt

Instructions :

Mix the broken yeast, a teaspoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of flour and 100ml lukewarm water, then stir allowing before ti rise. Put the flour into a bowl, add the grease, tha salt, the yeast and the lukewarm milk and knead into a dough. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place.

Prepare the filling :

clean the millet thorughly and cook in slightly salted milk. When the millet is done, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Add the cottage cheese, the sugar, the cream and the spices. Do not add sugar : the sugar should be sprinkled over the krapci when they are done. If preferred, the yolks can be mixed into the filling and the beaten egg whites folded in later. Roll the dough out to the thickness of one finger, sprinkle with flour and put into a greased baking tin.

The edge rim of the dough should be thicker then the rest so that the filling doesn't spill over the side. Spread the filling over the dough. Let the cake rise for 15-20minutes ( it must be at least 6cm high ), then put into a heated oven. Pour the filling over the cream several times during baking. When the krapci is done, pour some more cream over the filling and leave in the oven for a few minutes to soak. Cut into 8 by 10 cm or 6 by 10 cm slices.
