These two recipes come from Janie Krantz who hails from Sioux City, Iowa, which she says had a large, vibrant Jewish community. She and her aunt think these are the right version of the recipes their Bubbie, Fanni Kantrovich who was from Kiev, used to make. Though who can tell when she always made everything impromptu with no recipe cards in sight!
