Moms Perishky Meat Buns Recipes

FLEISCH PERISKY ( MEAT BUNS)

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in a large skillet.
• Melt 1/2 cup margarine in a separate saucepan over medium heat.
• Add 2 T. flour, stirring to incorporate.
• Add dry onion soup mixes and water to make a thick gravy.
• Bring to boil.
• Pour gravy over browned beef and simmer for about 1 hour. (I do this in my oven),
• Add fine dry bread crumbs just enough so mixture hold together. Do this just before you start forming your meat buns.
• In my Bosch mixing bowl mix the warm water, sugar and yeast.
• Warm the milk, margarine and lard in the Microwave about 3 - 4 minutes, until marg and lard have melted.
• Add to yeast mixture, and add about 8 cups of flour.
• Allow this to proof, then add salt, egg and remaining flour, just enough to make a soft dough, allowing the machine to kneed the dough.
• Place dough in a large bowl ( I use my tupperware fix-n-mix bowl). Let rise 10 - 15 minutes.
• Form perisky by pinching off pieces of dough the size of a walnut. Flatten the dough in your palm of hand and put about 1 tsp. filling on the dough. Pinch dough around the filling to seal well.
• Place on baking sheets and let rise. You can often starting baking the first pans before you are finished panning the remaining ones.
• Bake at 400 deg. for 10 - 12 minutes or golden brown.
• Enjoy !
