PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH FLASH UN KAS (SAVORY FILLED PASTRY APPETIZERS

Steps:

• FOR THE PASTRY: Cream butter and cream cheese together until well blended. Add the flour and mix until smooth. Chill pastry thoroughly (overnight if possible).
• Using a small portion of pastry at a time, roll pastry about 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface; cut out rounds with a 2-inch cookie cutter.
• Spoon a rounded 1/4 teaspoonful of filling onto half of each round. Fold dough over filling and press edges together with a fork. Transfer to baking sheets.
• Bake at 400°F 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve hot. About 9 dozen appetizers.
• FOR THE FILLING: Mix thoroughly goose liver pate, Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon steak sauce. For the HAM FILLING; mix ground country style ham, steak sauce and 1 teaspoon ketchup. (Each filling is enough for about 4 1/2 dozen appetizers.).
• NOTE: This pastry will keep for several weeks if wrapped tightly in moisture vapor-proof material and stored in the refrigerator.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH POTATO AND BREAD FILLING

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water. Saute onion and celery in oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Boil the giblets and neck in salted water to make stock.
• Moisten bread with milk. Smash the potatoes in a large bowl. (I use a small roasting pan, and then I roast the filling right in it.) Add all other ingredients including all spices and oil from saute. When adding the eggs, add a little of the hot mixture to the eggs first and beat well, so as to not scramble them when they go into the whole mix.
• Mix thoroughly. If it needs more moisture, add the stock, a little at a time. Taste to make sure enough spices are added. Add more salt and pepper and poultry seasoning, if needed.
• Bake at 350 degrees in a greased casserole dish or roasting pan until very hot and browned, usually one hour. Dot the top with pats of butter before putting into oven. I know some people chop the giblets and add to the filling, but I don't.
