Egg Kichel
Makes about 2 dozen
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla
4 tsp. sugar
1 cup flour (sifted)
Beat eggs well. Add oil slowly, a little at a time, while still beating. Add
vanilla and sugar. Add half the flour and beat about 3-4 minutes. Add remaining
flour and combine well. Drop by the teaspoon on greased cookie sheet. Bake 7
minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce to 375 degrees for 5 minutes. Turn off oven
and leave kichel in oven for 18 minutes.
Sugar Kichelach
Yield: about 4 1/2 doz.
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. oil
1 1/4 cup flour
Beat eggs, stir in salt and oil. Add flour gradually, mixing constantly,
until dough is smooth. Turn onto a floured board. Roll 1/8" thick. Cut in
2" squares. Dip one side of square in oil, then sugar. Bake sugar-side up on
ungreased baking sheet at 400 F for 6 - 8 minutes. Some cookies may brown
more quickly than others, so remove as ready.

1/2 cup oil
2 Tbsp sugar
1 cup sifted flour

Poppy Seed Kichelach
From: Art of Jewish Cooking
3 eggs
1/2 cup salad oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons poppy seeds
Beat the eggs until light, then beat in the oil, sugar, flour and salt. Beat
until very smooth. Stir in the poppy seeds, if you like. Drop by the teaspoon
onto a greased baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches between each. (They spread
and puff in baking). Bake in a 325 degree oven 15 minutes or until browned on
the edges. Makes approximately 36.
Mohn Kichlach
2 1/4 oz poppy seeds
1/2 cup oil
2 onions, diced
2 tsp. salt (I think I add more)
1/2 tsp. pepper
6 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 glasses water
Oven at 350 degrees
Mix all ingredients. Roll out flat (thinner will be crisp, thicker will be
doughier, slightly chewier).. Score into squares. Put on a greased cookie
sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until slightly brown. Break into pieces.
