Taylor's Piroshki
These pirozhki have a beef, onion, and dill filling and are delicious. You could also add a little cheese to the filling if you like. They can also be baked. I received this recipe from my Russian language teacher in high school and have been making them ever since. The kids like them too! They take a little time to roll out — but then doesn't anything authentic take a little time?
Strawberry Crunch Cake

German Twists
These German twists are rich and tender sour cream and yeast cookies. They are delicious and so lovely with their many delicate layers and twists. The recipe is time-honored and historic, and there are many variations. This updated version uses all butter and a food processor for excellent flavor and easy mixing. The rich yeast dough does not contain sugar, but the sweetness and layering result from well-sugaring the dough and work surface while rolling and folding it several times before cutting and shaping the cookies.
