ROSHKY (SLOVAK COOKIES)



Roshky (Slovak Cookies) image

The holiday season at DH's Grandparents' house in Chicago was always filled with interesting sweets shared by friends and neighbors from various European heritages. I found this treasure in DH's Grandmother's recipe box. She clipped it from the "Reader's Exchange" of the Chicago Daily News (which published its last edition in 1978). It was submitted by a Mrs. Mikosz and I've shared it here with her careful instructions. There was no yield included so I guessed. Please let me know how many you end up with. (Baking and chilling time are estimated too.)

Time 3h

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb butter
1/2 lb cream cheese
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 lb walnuts, ground
1/2 cup sugar
milk, or (for moistening)
egg white, beaten (for moistening )
confectioners' sugar (for rolling and for dusting)

Steps:

  • Cream together thoroughly the butter and cream cheese.
  • Blend in the flour.
  • If mixture is sticky add a little more flour until the dough is easy to handle.
  • Divide dough into four equal balls; flatten, then wrap each in waxed paper and chill thoroughly.
  • To make filling, mix together walnuts and sugar, adding enough milk or beaten egg white to make a paste-like mixture.
  • One at a time, roll out each chilled piece of dough (use confectioner's sugar for rolling as you would use flour in making pastry), until a little thinner than pie dough.
  • Cut into 2-inch squares.
  • Put 1/2 teaspoon filling in the middle of each square.
  • Roll up. Seal ends. (Mrs. Mikosz does not say if you are to roll them end-to-end like a log or corner-to-corner. I remember seeing many corner-to-corner cookies so will try both and see how they turn out - please let me know what you do too).
  • With a fork, dipped in confectioner's sugar, shape into cresents.
  • Bake in a preheated 375F oven, on ungreased cookie sheets, for 20 minutes, or until golden. (dharmabean shared that 15 minutes was enough in her oven - see her review).
  • Cool on rack.
  • Sift confectioner's sugar over the tops.

Tips for Making Rožky:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the taste of your rožky. Make sure to use fresh milk, butter, and eggs.
  • Activate the yeast properly. This is an important step that ensures that your rožky will rise properly. Proof the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough.
  • Knead the dough well. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will make your rožky chewy and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will allow the yeast to work its magic and double the size of the dough.
  • Shape the dough into rožky. You can use a variety of shapes, such as crescents, rolls, or braids.
  • Bake the rožky until they are golden brown. This will take about 20 minutes in a preheated oven.
  • Enjoy your rožky! They are best served warm and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make delicious homemade rožky that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a versatile bread that can be enjoyed on their own or used to make sandwiches, wraps, and other dishes. Rožky are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. So next time you have some extra milk, butter, or eggs, try making a batch of rožky. You won't be disappointed!
