KAHK 
Kahk - Egyptian, sweet, honey filled cakes, usually eaten at Easter.

My mother, Sophie Rentz (who is still alive), gave me this recipe.

DOUGH:

1/2 lb. sweet butter
8 oz. cream cheese
2 c. flour

Cut in butter and cream cheese. Mix dough until smooth.

FILLING:

3 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. flour
1 c. honey

Fry butter and flour until light brown, then stir in honey.

Chill dough for 10 minutes. Then divide dough into 2 1/2 inch balls, pat them flat, put 1 teaspoon of filling into the center, fold the edges under and pinch closed. Then flatten the dough somewhat and mark the top with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes in preheated 350 degree oven, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when done. Delicious!!
