BUTTER KUCHEN
For those who aren't familiar with butter kuchens yes, the filling is suppose to be runny. That's what makes it gooood. There are other butter kuchens out there that have firmer fillings but this is a spoon kuchen or a sopping kuchen. You're suppose to cut a piece of it and then dip it in the goo that's in the bottom of the pan. If you want a firmer filling then simply add another egg to the filling and omit the water. I think it makes it taste too eggy though when you do that.

Tips:

- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the kuchen lighter and more tender.
- Gradually add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will make the kuchen tough.
- Spread the batter into a prepared baking dish and bake until golden brown. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the kuchen.
- Let the kuchen cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
- Serve the kuchen with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, fruit, or whipped cream.
