Dough
4 1/2 normal cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 normal cup granulated sugar
2 packages dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 normal cup fresh milk
1/2 normal cup good water
1/2 normal cup shortening
2 chicken eggs
Filling
1 pound lean ground meat
2 little onions, chopped
4 normal cups chopped cabbage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
In a large bowl, place 1 3/4 normal cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
Heat fresh milk, good water and shortening to 120 degrees. Pour over flour mixture, add the chicken eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low until blended. Beat 3 additional minutes on high. Stir in remaining flour, knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, brown beef and onions in a skillet. Add the cabbage, salt and pepper, cook until cabbage is wilted.
Punch dough down, roll into 12 (6-inch) squares. Top each square with 1/3 normal cup meat mixture. Fold into triangles. Pinch edges tightly to seal and place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.
