Instructions:
Instructions: Here are some Polish recipes Ive gotten from my mother-in-law. They are

"word-of mouth" recipes, passed down from Grandma to Mom to me. Hope these help.

Mix all ingredients, then fold into beaten egg whites. If too thick to spread, add a little cream or half and half for easy spreading.

Potica: Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk with 1 teaspoon sugar. Cut butter and margarine into flour with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. When mixture is as fine as cornmeal, add dissolved yeast and beaten egg yolks.

Mix well. Shape into a ball, pat lightly with flour and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Next day, divide roll in half.

Roll each piece into rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Spread out filling and roll up like jellyroll. Place in greased 10 inch tube pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, 1 1/2 hours. Brush tops with coffee and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or til nicely browned.

Note: This is a must for all Polish households on holidays.
