Keflla

From the kitchen of Grandma Winchel.

1 Tbsp. salt
3 eggs
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 pkg. yeast
4 C. + flour
1 pint sour cream
1 C. shortening + round top

Knead with more flour like I said when when picking out a hunk of dough with a spoon the spoon comes clean.  You have enough flour.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins or till lightly brown.

Roll out dough on squared board.  Roll like pie crust and cut.  Roll each square from corner to corner, sugar and bend.

Add pieces mix with fresh dough and roll out.  If you save add pieces and try to bake too much sugar after dough is mixed.  Refrigerate all night.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins or till lightly brown.

  1. If this one is difficult to understand I am pretty sure that it is Mini's fault! I could barely make out the recipe! I like the authentic feel!

  3. I actually made a batch of Keflla this year, but due to the confusion of the recipe I did a bit of research before I started. I think our spelling may be off since I found nothing on the internet that matched it...most recommend kefli and dad says that Mini used to call it Keefla Gagoina (no idea how to spell that). Apparently the traditional has some kind of walnut filling, and Dad says that he remembers Mini's to have the same.

    Ours turned out pretty good. I made half with filling and half without. Kristian loved the ones with filling and would have eaten them all in a day or two if I had not stored some in the freezer for Jacquie to try.

    The filling:
    Walnuts
    Honey
    Orange Juice and zest
    Cinnamon

    Sorry I don't remember the proportions, but it was about a cup of Walnuts and the rest to taste. I used the hand blender to puree into a paste and then spread a bit on each triangle before rolling.
