Great Grandma's Kuchen Recipe

Great Grandma’s Kuchen

  • 1 Tube of Buttermilk Biscuit dough
  • 1 9” pie pan
  • 2-3 Peaches
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ C sugar
  • 1 C sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 Tsp vanilla
  • Sugar and Cinnamon for top
  1. Preheat the oven to 350
  2. Press the biscuit dough to the bottom of the pan
  3. Cover the bottom with the peaches
  4. In a bowl:
    • beat eggs well
    • add sugar, sour cream, corn starch and vanilla
    • mix well
  5. Pour the mixture into the crust
  6. Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon
  7. Bake for about 35 minutes or until lightly brown.

Changes:

  • Plain Greek yogurt works just as well if not better than the sour cream
  • I used the crust recipe below
  • Frozen mixed berries or really any fruit will work.

If you're up for making your own crust this one worked well.

Crust: (about 4 9” kuchens)

  • 4 C flour
  • 1 Tsp salt
  • ½ C shortening (please use non-hydrogenated for god sake :)
  • ½ C sugar
  • 1 package yeast
  • 3 eggs (beaten)
  • 1 C warm milk (divided)
  1. mix flour, salt, sugar and shortening (a food processor works best)
  2. dissolve yeast in ½ C warm milk
    • add eggs and remaining milk
  3. form a well in the flour and pour the yeast mix in the middle
  4. let sit about 10 minutes until the yeast activates
  5. mix the mixture together until it’s a sticky ball

It is much more manageable if you leave it in the fridge overnight.
