2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 eggs, well beaten

Mix and sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Form a well in center; add water, oil, and eggs. Mix and form into a smooth dough. On a lightly floured board, roll out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into rounds or squares or if desired leave whole. Fill with desired filling. Moisten edges and fold over the filling. Press edges firmly together. Place in a pan greased with hot oil and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) until browned and crisp. If the dough is uncut, fill and roll up like a jelly roll. The fillings given here are only a few suggestions. In fact, the methods for making knishes and the fillings are limited only to the imagination of the cook.
