Runzas (From Scratch)

"If you are a German from Nebraska, you must have this recipe. There are lots of shortcuts, but here is the dough and filling from scratch. Making the dough from scratch is far better than the frozen dough shortcut, but it is time consuming. They also freeze well."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a former avid 4-Her with many awards for Food and Nutrition. My current occupation is Computer Trainer and Mother of two boys. I love to experiment in the kitchen and my husband can't understand how I never follow a recipe exactly nor use exact measurements, but he loves everything I cook. I learned to cook by pinch of this, glug of that, handful of the other thing.
