Roll 1/2 inch thick

Story; Oyster stew followed by game playing was a long standing holiday tradition. As time went on, some folks developed an allergy to oysters, others just didn't like them, and a couple of us Norwegians married guys who were of German ancestry. We obviously needed to branch out and include more food variety for this holiday celebration. Thus, we took on the task of making Knephla soup, a German soup and served regularly in South Central North Dakota. After visiting sales barns in Napoleon and Wischek, and reading German cookbooks, we took the 'best' of the recipes and tastes and developed this recipe as our own. Many people make this soup, but this recipe is tasty and rich, we think one of the best. The holiday tradition evolved to include vegetable and knephla soup along with ham, buns, fresh vegetables, salads, and dessert.

Buns by Jane
3 Cups warm water-check water temperature so it's not too hot.(110 degrees F.)
1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar (more sugar for
sweet rolls)
1 scant-Tablespoon salt
3 Tablespoons yeast
4 cups flour
Mix the above with large bread mixer
Add
2/3 to 3/4 cup Crisco
2 eggs
4 or more cups of flour
Mix for 10 minutes on #2 speed (I am using a Bosch mixer)
Sprinkle in additional flour if needed..the bread dough should not stick to the sides of the bowel if there is enough flour.
Allow to rise and form into rolls or buns-I have formed the rolls and let them rise X1 and it's worked well, too.
Bake and enjoy
Story; We hosted a 'before prom' dinner, several of the parents brought great food for everyone. Jane contributed the buns-they were delicious. I asked for the recipe, and found out she used a Bosch to mix all of the breads. I ordered a mixer the next day and made this recipe when it came a couple of days later. They always turn out and are very good. This is a 1/2 of a batch, double it if you want to make many more!!

Goofy Cake
3 cups flour2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbsp vinegar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups cold water
Optional Frosting:
6 Tbsp milk
6 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
Dash of vanilla
Optional Filling:
8 oz cream cheese
2 eggs
1 1/2 chocolate chips
Notes/Stories: For the cake: Mix flour, sugar, salt, soda, and cocoa in 9x13 ungreased pan. Make 3 wells in the cake with a spoon. Pour the oil into one, vinegar in the 2nd, and vanilla into the 3rd well. Pour cold water over all and stir well. Bake at 350F for 30-40 min.
For frosting: Boil in a saucepan the milk, butter and sugar for 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips and the vanilla. Pour immediately over the cake.
For filling: Mix ingredients and swirl into cake batter in pan.
This cake was made by Heather H for a combined birthday party in October. The cake existed as early as World War II, when rationing forced bakers to deal with shortages of key ingredients like eggs and butter. (The frosting, which has butter in it, was a modern addition.)
Pumpkin Bars
Pumpkin Bars
3 eggs, beaten
2 c white sugar
1 c oil
2 c mashed pumpkin
2 c flour
1 t salt
2 t soda
2 t cinnamon
Mix. Pour into greased 9x13 pan. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350`.
Frosting
6 oz cream cheese, softened
6 T butter, softened but not melted!
~ 3 c powdered sugar
2 t vanilla
Beat together. Frost bars when cool.
Notes/Stories: This is one of the Carpenter's favorite desserts, and pretty high up on my list, too. One time I inadvertently added the whole (big!) can of pumpkin, and for some reason, no matter how long I cooked it, that toothpick could never come out clean! Still tasted great, of course. I made this into muffins to take to school for my birthday this year, and the 6th graders loved them, too. Makes about 30 muffins, and for them, I like to put the frosting in a plastic bag, cut off the tip and pipe the sugary goodness into a solid, spiral, frosting topper. Yum.
