KNISHES THE OLD FASHION WAY

Steps:

• 1. Tip 1: Make the fillings first, even a day or so ahead so they will be all ready to put into the dough. Tip 2: These are even more delicious after frozen at the point before baking. Bake them when they are fresh or while still frozen. Tip 3:Do not thaw them after freezing. Bake them frozen. Tip 4: Anything too good to throw away can be made into a filling. Note: Schmaltz is rendered chicken fat, but olive oil works especially if you add some good dry chicken soup mix to it for extra taste. PASTRY: Sift dry ingredients together. Add rest of ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Dust a bowl with flour lightly. Turn it upside-down to remove excess. Put dough in and covery with damp dish towell, cloth or plastic wrAp. Let stand 15 minutes. Knead in mixer with dough hook JUST UNTIL ELASTIC. Work with 1/4 of the dough at a time keeping remainder covered. Fill one part of dough before rolling out nex part. Roll out (with rolling pin) and stretch dough into rounds about 20 inches in diameter, or as rectangular as possible.Make them as thin as possible. (The thinner the better tasting and the more knishes you can make.) Brush dough with oil, or melted butter or margarine. Put line of filling 1 to 1 1/2 inches from edge (and one inch thick) across width. Roll envelope style twice. Cut away this part from remainder and repeat untl used up. Brush with oil, or butter or margarine. Place seam-side down on liberally oiled (or my preference is to use parchment lined pans). Mash each roll with the palm of the hand to make it slightly flatter on top. Cut slits on top of the log about 1 1/2 inches apart to indicate where to finish slicing (and to make it easier to slice) once the logs are finished baking. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 45 minutes, or until golden brown. May turn once during baking, if desired. Serve as an appetizer or as a soup accompaniment or even with a salad as an entree. This pastry dough yields about 60 knishes so make plenty of filli

• 4. Chicken: Combine all ingredients. Yield 30

CHICKEN KNISHES RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Chicken Filling: Heat the olive oil in a non stick skillet. Add the onion and garlic and cook over medium heat until just beginning to brown, 4 minutes. Stir in the paprika and chicken and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the matzo meal and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil for 3 minutes; the mixture should be thick and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a bowl or plate and let cool to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Knish Dough: Combine the flour, paprika, baking powder, salt and butter in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade. Pulse the machine to cut in the butter; the mixture should feel like cornmeal. Add the egg, oil and water. Run the machine in short bursts until the dough comes together into a smooth call, about 3 minutes. If the mixture looks too dry, add water as needed. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk 1 inch thick and wrap in plastic. Chill the dough until firm enough to handle, 1-2 hours. Roll out the knish dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Using a cookie cutter or pot lid cut out 4 1/2 inch circles. Gather up the scraps and re-roll, ultimately you should have 12 circles. Assembling Knishes: Lightly spray a small muffin tin with spray oil.. Line the muffin tin with circles of knish dough; the excess will hang over the edges. Place 1/4 cup chicken filling in each hole and bring the edges over the top of the knish to encase the filling. Gather the edges in the center, twisting and pinching, to seal. Lightly brush the tops of the knishes with egg glaze, taking care not to drip any into the molds. Bake the knishes unti golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Let cool until warm, then un-mold.

KNISHES WITH RICE FILLING

Steps:

• Cook rice according to directions on box, and then allow the rice to cool.
• In a skillet, sauté the green or white onions and then add the chicken fat. Heat the chicken fat. If the fat remains in large pieces, finely mince the fat either with a knife or in a food processor.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix all of the ingredients together.
• Place a sheet of dough onto the counter top and cut into 4 to 5 inch squares.
• Fill each square with a heaping tablespoon or more of the rice mixture, and then with wet fingers, fold in the corners and pinch and seal closed. Gently press to form patties, but don't squash too thin.
• Lay out the knishes onto a greased cookie sheet. I spray the cookie sheet with Pam non-stick spray. Brush top of each of the knishes with peanut oil.
• Keep checking, as often as you desire, to make sure they only become an almost golden color and not burnt.
• With a spatula, turn the knishes over, brush on peanut oil again, and continue baking until almost golden in color, and then remove from oven.
