Elsie'S Cheese Kuchen - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. flour
4 Tbsp. Crisco
1 to 2 Tbsp. sugar (optional)
small pinch salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 egg, beaten
milk

Preparation

Cut Crisco into mix of flour, baking powder, salt and sugar (if desired).
Add egg and just enough milk to make a soft dough. (Kuchen pans should be shallow, about 1-inch, but hard to find.
I use a 7 x 10 3/4 x 1 1/4-inch aluminum pan.)
On floured waxed paper, roll dough to size of pan.
Invert into pan; pat into corners and up edges.
Trim off excess.
If dough tears, just push into place.
Can dab a little water on with fingers if need to seal.
Rerolling makes it tough.
