Sabbath Kugel recipe
information
No Sabbath midday meal in Poland or Russia was complete without a kugel. The very slow cooking of this type of pudding turns the starch into dextrin, giving it a unique flavor. It is not possible to hurry a kugel— however minimum cooking times are possible.

1/2 cup fine dry. breadcrumbs
2 cups all-purpose flour
8 ounces chicken fat or shortening
2 eggs, lightly beaten
