From: Katherine A Strinka <ks6t+@andrew.cmu.edu> Date: 21 Feb 1994 04:18:07 -0500 Hi. This sounds like it might be what you're thinking of, but we always called it Placek. Combine water, sugar, 1 Tbs flour and yeast and leave to rise. Warm butter and milk in small pot. Beat eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, salt and orange flavoring. Add the milk mixture and the yeast mixture from above. Add 2 more cups of flour; beat well. Add another 4-5 cups of flour, a cup of raisins, and beat it some more Turn into a large bowl and cover and let rise for about an hour. Knead and cut into 4 parts: put each into a loaf pan. Let rise one more hour (at halfway, brush with slightly beaten egg white, and sprinkle with crumb mixture (below)). Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes. Crumb mixture: Mix all ingredients. This came from my Great-Grandma and has been enjoyed for several years in our Polish family. REC.FOOD.RECIPES From rec.food.cooking archives.
