                         Cottagecheese\oil pastry
                         For brushing
    1       oz           (30g) soft butter or marg.
    2 1/2   oz           (70g)raisins (washed and
                         Well drained)
    1 3/4   oz           (50g) almonds (blanched
                         Filling:
    2       tb           Heaping of sugar
    1       pk           Vanillin sugar
    1 3/4   oz           (50g) currants (washed and
                         Well drained)
                         Finely chopped)
                         Icing:
    6       oz           (170g) icing sugar
    2       tb           Hot water (approx)
 
   roll out the pastry to a rectangle 14x18in. (45x35cm) and brush with the
   fat. For the Filling: mix together the filling ingrediants and distribute
   evenly over the pastry. Starting from the shorter side, roll up like a
   swiss roll. Then use a sharp knofe to cut off slices about 1 1/4 in thick.
   Lay these on a greased baking sheet and flatten slightly. OVEN: preheat
   overn for 5 min at very hot (400) BAKING TIME: 15-20 minutes. For the
   icing: sieve the icing sugar (powdered sugar) and blend with as much of the
   water as will five a good coating consistency. Ice the schnecken while
   still hot.
   
   *I know of no substitute for the vanillin sugar, you might want to check
   gourmet shops or specialty shops. or possibly a custard mix might work.
