Runzas (School Cafeteria Style)

4 1/2 to 5 cups flour
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 T yeast
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs (room temp)

Measure 2 cups flour into a bowl. Stir in sugar, salt, and yeast. Scald milk, add water and shortening (stir to melt). Cool to lukewarm. Pour into flour mixture and stir. Add eggs and beat at low speed 1/2 minute, then on high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in the rest of the flour and knead until smooth. Cover with moist towel and let rest 20 minutes.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 medium onion
2 c. chopped cabbage
2 T butter
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Brown beef and onions. Wilt cabbage in butter, add to beef mixture with salt and pepper.

Roll dough very thin and cut into 6 inch squares. Place 3 T meat mixture in center of each square. Pinch edges to seal. Place smooth side up on a greased baking sheet (or parchment paper, much easier cleanup). Let raise 40-60 minutes, until indentation remains when lightly pressed with finger.
Bake 350 for 20 minutes.
