 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Flour
  1       ts           Baking powder
  1 1/2   ts           Sugar
    1/4   ts           Salt
    1/4   c            Butter -- cut up
    1/3   c            Milk
  2                    Eggs
  1 1/2   c            Cream-style cottage cheese
    1/3   c            Sugar
    1/3   c            Half-and-half, light cream,
                       -or evaporated milk
  1       tb           Flour
    1/2   ts           Vanilla
    1/4   ts           Ground cinnamon
    1/8   ts           Salt

 For Crust:

 In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, baking powder,
 1-1/2 ts sugar and 1/4 ts salt. Cut in butter until mixture
 resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center: add milk all at
 once. Stir just until dough clings together. On a lightly floured
 surface, roll dough into an 11" circle. Fit into bottom and up
 sides of an ungreased 9x1-1/2" round baking pan. Trim crust even
 with top edge of pan. Bake the crust at 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
 Set aside.

 For filling:

 In a large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in cottage cheese, 1/3 cup sugar,
 half and half, 1 tb flour, vanilla, cinnamon and 1/8 ts salt until
 combined. Pour filling into crust. Bake in a 350°F oven for
 30 minutes or until center is nearly set when shaken. Cool the
 dessert on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover and chill for at least
 4 hours.

 Notes: Mary Thrill of Fredonia, Wisconsin says this is a longtime
 favorite Luxembourgish dessert. Serve with coffee for a wonderful
 midmorning break.
