[Cz-L] cookbook project -- add recipes

These recipes were sent to me from Arthur Rindner:

Below are recipes per my cousin Grete, who is my senior by 10
years. Grete is the guardian of the family recipes.

Keiserl:
The recipe is the same as for Latkes, made with fresh potatoes. Fried
in hot oil.
Second, made with mashed potatoes mixed with eggs salt and pepper.
Tante Fanny would add chopped onions, Tante Bertha would add fried onion
to the mixture. Form small patties and fry in hot oil. It was always
fried in Schmaltz (rendered goose fat) but these days we are cholesterol
conscious.

Schweinerei:
2 large tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, 2 peppers,(one green one red) 3 spring
onions. Slice or cube all ingredients into small pieces, add salt and
pepper plus olive oil and vinegar.

According to my cousin,one could not find olive oil back then. The only
source one could buy olive oil was in the pharmacy to be used for an ear
ache. Olive oil was warmed and one drop placed in the aching ear,

Pirogen:
1-1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour
pinch of salt
1 egg
1/4 cup cold water
Mix and sift dry ingredients add egg. Gradually add enough water to hold
dough together.
Roll out on a floured board. Cut with a large water glass rounds of the
dough.
Place a sour cherries or plums in center of each. Pinch edges together
tightly to seal in filling.
Boil in salted water, until the pirogen float.
In a frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add breadcrumbs and
brown, mix in a tablespoon of sugar and then spread over the pirogen.

Haluschken: Stuffed Cabbage, Some families would use
leafs from a head of sauerkraut and stuff with rice and meat and in the
sauce add smoked meat, or smoked goose.

Totzc, per my cousin Grete:
4 cup regular flour
2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup of oil or 200gr schmaltz
7 large potatoes
100 gr yeast

Mix flour, yeast, with a little warm water. Let it rise.
Grate potatoes add eggs and salt and pour in to the flour mixture. Mix
all ingredients, and, let it rise. Mix ingredients and let it rise
again.
Pour mixture in a oiled square form and let it rise again for half an
hour.
The mixture should rise 3 times by placing in a warm place.
Bake in a preheated oven 180 C for 45 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
