I tried this recipe today. It 's excellent and easy to make.
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 tsp cardamom
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 (9"x10") sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg beaten
Sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
Directions for twists
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix together cinnamon,sesame seeds,cardamom,and brown sugar.
Cut sheet of puff pastry into quarters and then cut each quarter into 5 equal slices ( 1" x 4"each)
Twist 2 pieces of dough together to form a rope shape. Brush top of dough with beaten egg white and put into cinnamon mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Makes 10 twists. Bake 12-14 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
Sauce
in a small bowl whisk together honey, lemon juice,sugar, cinnamon and cardamom until smooth.
Pour into a small dipping bowl to serve.
I didn't have cardamom so I omitted it and the twists were excellent. I also did not make the dipping sauce but next time I will.
* I did try the sauce and it was delicious. I only made 1/2 the recipe and it was plenty.
I ate one as soon as it was cool enough to handle. I could have eaten them all!

Grandma's Glums kuchen (cottage cheese pancakes) Elsie
These taste like the filling in fried verenika
1 pound dry cottage cheese
2 eggs well beaten
salt & pepper to taste
1/8 to 1/4 cup flour
Mix cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper.
Add just enough flour to give the mixture enough body to form a ball.
Put a large spoonful of mixture into hot frying pan with a bit of oil, flatten with a spoon.
Brown pancake and gently flip over to brown other side.( Let it cook enough on the first side so it firms.)
I put about 3 of those in one frying pan. That gives me enough room to maneuver to turn them.

Reuben Loaf ( Elsie)
I got this recipe from Dorothy, it's really good.
2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups flour
1 pkg quick rise (instant) yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp soft butter
1 cup warm water
6 oz thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami
4 oz sliced swiss cheese
1 cup of sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup of thousand island dressing
1 egg well beaten
caraway seeds ( optional)
I use only sauerkraut that is" product of Germany ". It's so much better tasting,sweeter and not vinegary or sour.
Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and butter. Stir in warm water and mix until soft dough forms. Knead well for 4 minutes, adding more flour as necessary.
Roll into approx. 10 x 16 rectangle.
Place corned beef down centre third of rectangle. Add sauerkraut, drizzle on dressing, add cheese and top with a few more slices of corned beef. I don't usually use all the beef in the first layer,that's just my personal preference.
Make cuts 1 inch apart all the way down both sides from the filling to the edge. Fold strips over filling alternating sides, like a braid.
Let rise 15 minutes. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds.
Bake @ 400 for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
