| 1. Soak the yeast in the 2/3 cup water with the one tablespoon sugar. Let set 10 minutes. | 2. In a large bowl, mix the shortening, sugar and eggs with a mixer. | 3. Add in the salt and scalded milk. | 4. Add in the yeast mixture. | 5. Mix in 3 cups flour. Add remaining flour a little at a time to make a soft dough. | 6. Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled. | 7. While dough is rising, combine all ingredients for custard topping in 2 quart saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick. Be sure to stir it constantly as it will burn. Remove from heat and let cool. | 8. Punch down dough and make into kuchens. I divide the dough in half and then divide each half into fourths. | 9. Form each into ball and then press dough out and up sides of greased pans. | 10. Add fruit filling to each kuchen. I use cherry pie filling, cooked prunes, fresh sliced peaches or peach pie filling as well as cottage cheese filling. | 11. Top each kuchen with a few spoons full of custard filling and spread across fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon. | 12. Let kuchen rise 10 minutes. | 13. Bake about 20 minutes at 350. Remove from pan and let cool on wire rack. | 14. As soon as you remove the kuchen from the pan, brush the edges with melted butter to keep them soft. | 15. Store in refrigerator or place in ziplock bag and freeze. | 16. These freeze well and will taste great reheated in the oven or microwave. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
