It's very, VERY hard to beat with watermelon on a hot summer day.<br /><br />One trick we use to see if the oil is at the right temperature is to dip the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If bubbles form around the spoon, the oil is hot enough.<br /><br />Happy frying!Keith & Jenna Grubaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072077134928963459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-42132045732562444662009-12-27T19:27:06.362-08:002009-12-27T19:27:06.362-08:00Yes, I have made Roll Kuchen before.

It's a must. It's a crime not to have all three together. I remember growing up In Winnipeg, Mb, and coming to Saskatchewan to visit the family, and we would have reunions galore with all the Mennonite relations (Klaassens, Klassens, Friesens etc). It was a joy for us children to run around and eat when we were hungry. One of my mother's cousins lived in Southern Manitoba and she would make wonderful Farmer's sausage, and we would save the cracklings and spread it on bread. Or she would make "Pluememeuse" kind of like a borscht with Plums and dates and fruit. It was delicious!Cameron Longonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-71565481969099886472009-07-22T17:18:43.666-07:002009-07-22T17:18:43.666-07:00I tried your recipe today!

Thank you so much for sharing - and specifically for having a recipe that DOESN'T say "and enough flour for a soft dough!"

I got the "recipe" from my Grandma Schumacher, German homemaker. She called it keuchle (like Vicki mentioned). I was just ecstatic to read her post because I have never heard anyone else call fried bread that. I think my grandma made her keuchle with regular yeasted bread dough, she took globs of dough, stretched it out flat, poked a hole in the middle and deep fried it. Most of the time she served it with tomato soup. This meal was common for Lent. We have it with honey, peanut butter, dipped in sugar, and I also use it for Indian Tacos (with Mexican toppings, like tacos). I'd love to try it with strawberries and cream too. <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for sharing this and Vicki..... I feel a kinship knowing that we share the same German heritage.<BR/>~JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-59309986156959471892007-07-01T00:09:00.000-07:002007-07-01T00:09:00.000-07:00Why didn't I think to ask for Roll Kuchen, too, wh...Why didn't I think to ask for Roll Kuchen, too, when I was at my parents place? ha ha I love it dipped in syrup.

I do make sopapillas, and they seem similar, even lighter than RK, and you don't make a slit in them because you want them to put up in the oil so you can bite a corner off, and fill the inside with honey!! That is a New Mexican recipe.<BR/>Living in the States, we don't have Roger's syrup here, either, except that I buy some whenever I get up to Abbotsford!lilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536713888836365850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-82938397167998039802007-06-29T21:20:00.000-07:002007-06-29T21:20:00.000-07:00hi lovella. well it looks like i'm out numbered h...hi lovella. well it looks like i'm out numbered here. I don't like watermelon or roll kuchen. I was once forced into making it by my family but only once. I just don't taste what every one else does I guess.

It's hard to explain, but you've probably seen them this way. And I always use cream. Once I tried making them with milk and they weren't that great. Our family also likes to bring out the Roger's Golden Syrup for an extra boost of badness.
