This is the recipe my Polish mother, Angeline Kowalinski Brown has used for
about 50 years. It was given to her by Rosalie Konwinski Ludwitkowski, who
was my sister's girl scout leader -- Enjoy.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
- Melt butter and lard (or Crisco) and let cool
- then add to the above flour
mixture.
- Beat eggs and egg yolks, sugar, grated lemon, vanilla, and mace till
fluffy and pale yellow in color.
- Add to yeast mixture. Stir in flour 1 cup at
a time, (I usually use 4-4 1/2 cups). You don't want mixture so thick you
can't stir it. It should still be sticky and pull away from the sides of the
bowl.
- Add Raisins (I usually use 1/2 of the allot flour to coat the raisins
before adding them. They mix in easier)
- Cover bowl with cloth and let double
in size.
- Grease and flour 2 large loaf pans.
- Divide dough between pans. Let
raise in warm place about 45 minutes. Sprinkle loaves with Topping:
Topping:
Cool and enjoy!!!
