I got this recipe from my friend, Kathi. Every time I bite into one of these little nuggets, I'm surprised how delicious they are and . .. well, you can't stop at one, believe me! These are great for party trays with other little bites. Since this is not a sweet pastry, you can omit the raisins and fill them with a savory filling (once cooled) as well. This recipe yields about 3 dozen.
Ingredients
1 c water
1/2 c butter
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup flour
4 eggs
½ cup raisins, plumped
Method:
- Plump raisins by soaking them in boiling water for a few minutes, then strain.
- Combine first 4 ingredients in small saucepan and bring to boil. Add flour all at once, stirring over low heat beat with wooden spoon 1 min or till mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a smooth, thick dough.
- Remove from heat. Continue to beat 2 min. to cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, beating each in well. The eggs will be slipping and sliding at first, but keep stirring, until they are mixed in well.
- Stir in raisins.
- Drop by tsp on greased and floured cookie sheet and bake at 375F about 25 min - till golden.
- Spread with lemon frosting while warm.
Lemon Frosting: Melt 1 Tbsp butter. Stir in 1 1/2 Tbsp cream. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 c icing sugar, 1/2 tsp lemon juice and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
Enjoy!
