#knish

Knish vendor, 1953. Knishes are fist-sized dumplings, wrapped in dough and baked, with fillings such as potato (the most common), kasha (buckwheat), or cabbage. Carts such as this were a fixture on New York sidewalks until the Giuliani administration cracked down on them in the 1990s.

Dough:

3 cups flour

2 TBS Sugar

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup oil

1 cup hot water

Knead until glossy and smooth, cover and let rest 2 hours.

Stretch translucent thin and wrap around a filling. If wrapping multiple layers, brush w oil between layers.
