PAGAC (PAGACH)

Pagac (Pagach) image

This is a Slovak/Ukrainian dish. My mother made this for lent. I found this recipe in a "Carpatho-Rusyn and American Favorite Cookbook" that was given to me as Christmas gift several years ago. I made this for a pre-Easter supper my friends and I had. I am including the Pagac filling at the end of the recipe.. While the dough is rising, I made the filling. Everyone love this dish.

These pagach were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter to the dough next time.
