Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is Grandma's basic dough recipe. I loved the mornings when she would make coffee cake. She would use this recipe, brush melted butter over the top, and then sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar. It was also the dough recipe for dampf nudeln, which were rolls, served with cinnamon gravy. They were cooked on top of the stove.

I did find some recipes for damps nudeln and included them in the book so the cooking directions would be easier to understand.
