Knishes and Mushroom Soup

[rebbetzin]

On Wednesday evenings I try to make a light, but nice meal before we leave for services. Last night I made some really nice knishes (If I do say so myself!) and with it some Homemade Mushroom soup.

I thought the plate looked pretty...

And we had enough left over, so tonight when my husband came home starving from Karate Class, I just heated it up for him!!

Yum. It's been years since I had a knish.

I've never had a knish.They're making me hungry. Care to share the recipes, or are they family secrets?

What's a knish? Is it sweet? like hawaiian bread? or just like a regular roll?

That plate sure looks yummy! I love mushroom soup.

Here is the page for Creamed Soups, maybe you can save off the page and enlarge it a bit to see the recipes better.

I use half and half, or cream when making cream soups.

The Knishes, are very easy, since I cheat and use a Cresent Roll dough from the grocery store. The refrigerator type bisquits of any kind work, if you don't feel like making dough. Any yeast or bisquit dough will work.

I use left over meats and potatos for the fillings.

I cut up onion and garlic saute it then add it to the meat and potato mixture. You can also make them vegetarian, or add cheese to the potato mixture.

Roll out the dough, so it is thinner, but not so thin it breaks when you try to cover the filling. They now make a small round cresent dough shape, that one works great.

They can be filled with about anything. It seems every culture has a type of filled bun of sorts.

I don't have recipe per se... But my favorite dough to use is Pilsbury Cresent dough.
I just like the way it tastes, and it is easy to work with.

Every culture seems to have a recipe for a hand held stuffed bread type of a thing. Knish is from Eastern Europe. A dough filled with potatoes and whatever else you might like to put in it. I seldom get a knish I like at restraurants here. So I prefer to make my own.

Good. I'm glad they're easy! Is the shine on the knish from butter or an egg glaze?

It is an egg glaze.

Hahaha I can relate to your signature. I'm a little ways north of you, and wow, we can go through a lot of water out here in the desert!
