    Recipe





    Combine the warmed milk, sugar and margarine. Add the salt then allow to
    cool to lukewarm.

    Add yeast, eggs and flour to lukewarm milk mixture and mix to make a soft
    dough. Knead well.
    Let rise until doubled.

    Divide dough into 8 or 9 pieces, then shape each to fit in a pie pan. Allow to
    rise in pans for about 20 minutes.

    Preheat to 350.

    Fill with cooled cream custard filling and toppings.

    Filling:

    Heat half and half in the top of a double boiler.

    Beat eggs, then add sugar and flour. Stir egg mixture into the half and half and
    cook until thick. Add vanilla. Allow to cool.

    Divide equally among the kuchens.

    Top each kuchen with cherry, lemon, blueberry or apricot pie filling or any kind
    of filling desired.

    Topping

    Combine ingredients and mix till crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs over the top of each
    filled kuchen.

    Bake for 25 minutes at 350.

    These will freeze well. If frozen, reheat before serving. It will make 8 or 9
    kuchens.

    This is an old recipe given to me by a friend - one passed down through several
    generations of her family.
