Dough:
2 c warm water
2 pkgs yeast
1/3 c sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
2 c flour
Beat for 2 minutes
Add:
2 eggs
1/3 c shortening or lard
Beat 1 minute
Gradually add around 4 1/2 c more flour
Let set at least 20 while making filling
Filling:
Brown 2-3 lbs ground beef (I brown with some onion and season salt)
In another pan, wilt a head of shredded cabbage with 1 Tablespoon butter and pepper (to taste)
Combine browned beef and wilted cabbage.
Preheat oven to 350. Flatten a small amount of dough on lightly floured surface. Spoon some cabbage mixture onto flattened dough. Bring edges of dough around mixture and seal. Place, seam side down, on cookie sheet. Repeat till pan is full and place in oven for around 25 minutes or till golden brown.
*I like to butter these when I remove from oven.
** If you like after these are baked, cut a slit on the side and slide a slice of cheese in. Best not to bake with cheese in as it will all bubble out.
***Ground turkey may also be used instead of beef.
May freeze
