Strudla :
>>It takes a
practiced hand to make tissue-thin dough but there's a simple trick to rolling
it up for strudla. German Russian cooks lay the fragile dough on a cloth
draped over a pillow. Then, when the ends of the cloth are lifted, the dough
automatically curls up to create the many-layered ropes of strudla. Fried
up with potatoes and onions, strudla is a Sunday dinner favorite.<<
