Grandma W's Sweet Buns

As told to me by Grandma Willms (she never had this recipe written down anywhere):

2 cups milk, scalded. Cool.
Add 1 Tbsp yeast. Let rise.
Separate 7 eggs.
Beat egg yolks and 1 cup sugar together.
Beat egg whites separately.
Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup butter.
Add all to yeast mixture.
Add 6-7 cups of flour gradually. Dough will be firm (like buns). Let rise. Knead down and let rise. Roll into circles, cut into pie wedges, add butter and roll. Let rise and bake.

Or, if you're like me and don't have time for all this, I have modified the recipe for the bread machine (you'll notice it's very similar to the paska recipe):

1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups flour
1/2 Tbsp yeast

Roll into circles, cut into pie wedges, add butter and roll. Let rise and bake at 350 deg F for 12 minutes. When cool, add lemon flavoured icing.

Grandma W's Salad Dressing

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1/2 Tbsp mustard
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1/4 cup water
1/2 Tbsp flour
1/4 cup vinegar
1 Tbsp butter (can add more, if you prefer)

Beat eggs first, add remaining ingredients. Bring to boil - add butter.
Cool and store in refrigerator.

Grandma W's Apple Strudel

As told to me by Grandma Willms:

When you make apple strudel, don't make your pastry as rich as regular pastry – use half the butter and half the lard. Use milk instead of water. Roll out to fit the bottom of a baking sheet. Put sugar and flour on the bottom of the pastry and the apples on top. Cover with pastry, seal together and bake.
