From: auvax!madrid (Roslyn Madrid) Newsgroups: net.cooks Title: Strudel Suggestion Article-I.D.: auvax.207 Posted: Thu Jul 28 13:32:11 1983 There are good instructions for making strudel in "The Joy of Cooking". However, I can't quite fathom making a recipe which starts out, in effect, "Cover the dining table with a clean sheet..." in a backpacking situation. A large, smooth surface IS important. Making strudel pastry isn't impossible, even for the inept; I've done it. But a much easier way of making strudel is to use frozen Phyllo (also seen as Phillo) pastry. If your supermarket doesn't have it, try a Greek grocery store. A friend of mine who is a fine cook in the Hungarian tradition says that the results are as good as any but the best strudel made from scratch. R. auvax!madrid
