I use the Butter flavoured Crisco. The solid type, not the oil, and the flavour is marvelous. As well , in a pinch, I've substituted a cans of "Grands " biscuits , any type, and rolled each biscuit out , with your roller, then cut the same wee slit in the middle of the dough, and turned bottom under top, of slit. Again fantastic, and super easy for those who are a wee bit timid around making a dough. White corn syrup is the trick, and I warm it up a wee bit, as well, but maple syrup and jelly is great as well.

I truly believe the key to the perfect Rollkucken is the Butter Crisco. As for the watermelon, it truly goes well with it. I put me watermelon chilled , in a glass, with corn syrup and Vodka. What can I say? I'm a modern Mennonite. Plus I've been cooking all day. I deserve it. Cheers to all and GOD bless. From NV Read More. Reviews: Most Helpful. I come from a Mennonite family.

I love RollKuchen! Our favorite way to enjoy them is dipped in jam any flavour or corn syrup. Thank you for sharing a part of mennonite cuisine with the world: Read More. Rating: 4 stars. Calories from Fat Total Fat 25 g. Saturated Fat Trans Fat 0 g. Cholesterol mg.

Maybe you need to grow up on it to be able to cook it right?? I'm going to have to go try some more of them. Hard to believe, but we sometimes had leftovers! Slightly toasted the next morning they were quite thin and the size of a dollar bill, and if stacked on top of eachother a lot of the air goes out of the bubbles with jam -- a perfect breakfast!

We used Carnation milk instead of the milk or cream in the recipes. Mmmm I had to make this for my husband I didn't know how to explain it so I called it Mennonite Bannock and he said I am right, it does resemble bannock the way his family makes it.

Makes for a super easy and enjoyable lunch. Oma always made these but left them closed so they would puff up. We'd poke a hole in the top and pour the syrup into it. Oh, I am going to have to make these.

I miss Oma. I'm from a mennonite family in Winnipeg. We too ate them with watermelon, but rather than roger's syrup powdered sugar. The puffy soft one's my oma made to dunk into what she called "poor man's soup". So yummy. I'm from a menno family in Winnipeg. My oma served rollkuchen with watermelon as well-not with Roger's syrup, but powdered sugar. I'll try the syrup this summer. My other oma only ever made the puffy rollkuchen and served it with a potato and onion soup she called, "poor man's soup".

Thanks for the recipes. First rollkuchen batch of the summer. Trying hard not to eat too many before company comes! It's fun rediscovering all my favorite childhood foods. Thanks for this great website. I am also from a Menno family from Wpg. Have since moved to Sask. I am making Rollkucken this weekend for some non Menno family and friends. I just hope I don't eat them all before I have to serve them. Watermelon is just not so good around here. Tons around Saskatoon and just north of the city.

I'm told the best Watermelon is found in Warman. I don't know if they buy from a different supplier but I find great tasting ones in Giant Tiger. Also - seeded water melon is always sweeter than seedless, although not as easy to eat.

I have made them a few times already so far this summer. And this weekend one HAS to make them as we're having pioneer days here Now maybe not to nutritious,but tastes so good for sure!!! Just heard this weekend that my Grandmother used to serve these with a chocolate sauce made with cream, brown sugar and cocoa - anyone ever heard of this?

I am wondering what kind of a recipe I would use for this sauce - sounds yummy, although watermelon would still be my favorite. Dorothy, I'm not familiar with eating rollkuchen with chocolate sauce either. If you track down that recipe It sounds like dessert and delicous. My mother used to make these all the time but we called them "hrusti" in Ukrainian.

She would sprinkle them with icing sugar. I know it won't be as rich but will they be okay? If you're looking to eat healthily, eating fried dough might not be the way to go I don't know if just subbing milk would make a whole lot of different in the whole scheme of things! In the 60's, when Grandma lived, she would make a trailer load of roll-kuchen.

Grandpa called the watermelon are-BOOS, roll the r in are. I liked mine with both melon, and honey I am so happy I found this recipe! My grandmother makes this but without cutting the slits in them so they puff up.

They're my father's favourite and I definitely one of mine. Can't wait to try it out and many of the other Mennonite recipes on here to get back to my roots!

Does anyone know of a recipe for these delish roll kuchen made with almond or coconut flour Anonymous, there is a gluten-free recipe on our blog.. My mother who was born in Russia used to say how her family, when they were still living in Russia, did not eat watermelon and rollkuchen together.

Apparently they had the most huge and delicious watermelons to quench their thirst on hot summer days but rollkuchen, as others have alluded to, were always eaten with jam or syrup.
