Apple and Plum Kugel
Ingredients:
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- about 2 pounds flour
Instructions:
- Mix the ingredients and form a soft dough. (if you use a Food Processor, mix
the dry ingredients first, and then slowly add the liquids). Finish the
dough kneading it with your hands for a few minutes. Extend the dough with
the rolling pin in a big circular shape (aprox. 18 in diameter).
- Spread the circle with plum preserve (maybe 1 or 1 1/2 jars). until it is
very well covered.
- Peel 4 apples and slice them (not very thin, you may use 2 or 3 more apples
depending on their size).
- Put the apples over the preserves, sprinkle with
sugar, cinnamon and a little bit of pepper.
- Roll the strudel very carefully, making a tight roll. Seal the edges with water.
- Have ready a deep ovenproof large pot, with boiling oil. (about 2/3 cup)
- Very carefully place the Kugel in the oil rolling it (to make it fit in the
pot).
- Cover the Kugel with boiling water. (yes, water, it won't mess up the
dough). Then cover the pot with foil, and put it in the oven for 2 hours at
400 degrees. Uncover the pot and let it brown a little.
- Serving: Unmold the Kugel, and slice it like a cake. Don't worry the slices
won't come out perfect, but the flavor will.
