No. 3185 — Bohemian Kalachiki
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3185 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Mix ½ pound butter, 1 whole egg, 1 yolk, 2 tablespoons yeast mixture, 9 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons sugar and cardamom if desired.
Knead with as much fine wheat flour as needed so the dough no longer sticks to the table. Shape little handled kalach rolls, sprinkle with raisins and finely shredded almonds and place on an iron sheet.
Leave in warmth to rise, brush with beaten egg and bake.
