If you've never had bierocks, then you NEED to make these. Beirocks are hamburger and cabbage filled bread pockets (or my boys call them pillows). They are German and perfect. Try them today!
Beirocks: a Recipe from my Mom
2 cups scalded milk
4 Tablespoons sugar
4 Tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons salt
2 packages of yeast
1/2 cup warm water
2 eggs, beaten
7 cups of flour
Filling:
2 lbs. hamburger
2 lbs. cabbage, shredded
2 medium onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon allspice
Combine milk, sugar, shortening and salt; cool to lukewarm. Add yeast, dissolved in water. Add eggs. Stir in flour, knead and cover. Let rise until doubl ein bulk. While dough is rising, cook in hamburger, cabbage and onions in large skillet or dutch oven. Add salt, pepper and all spice. Cook until done. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick and cut into 4" squares. Use 2-3 Tablespoons filling and put in the center of each square. Fold corners to center, pinching together at the top. PLace on cookie sheet; let rise about 10 minutes then bake at 425 until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. These freeze nicely. Makes approximately 2 dozen.
Note: If you freeze these, you can reheat them in the microwave for about a minute and a half.
