How to make it
- Dough:
- Combine the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
- Cut in the butter with a fork.
- Beat egg into the sour cream.
- Stir into the flour mixture then stir in the sugar.
- Knead the dough until well mixed and smooth.
- Roll dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
- Line a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan with the dough and bring dough part the way up sides.
- Note: Women often reserve some of the dough or make extra and crisscross it or lattice work over the top.
- Filling:
- Separate 1 egg and reserve the whites, beat remaining yolk and whole eggs with the the sugar for 5 minutes at high speed using an electric mixer.
- Add vanilla and beat at high until the mixture is soft.
- The original recipe suggests that you press the cheese through a sieve. You can wrap it in cheesecloth and squeeze the moisture out of it but I prefer to place the cheese in a small sieve over a measuring cup and keep it overnight in the fridge. Blend cheese with butter, add the mashed potatoes, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
- Stir in orange peel.
- Fold into the egg mixture.
- Turn into prepared crust in pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45-55 min. or until set. Cool well before cutting.
