1. Strudel Dough. 2. Sift flour onto a clean, dry work surface. Make a well in the middle. Break the eggs into the well, add the salt, oil & water and mix all with the flour, working outwards from the center. Then knead the dough till it becomes smooth and silky. (At this point I did put it into my Kitchenaid with dough hook as it wasn't getting silky by hand, just very very sticky). 3. Let it rest for 1/2 hour covered with a warm saucepan. 4. Roll out on a floured cloth and "pull out" to the desired thickness (very thin). Again, I did multiple roll outs with rolling pin as I tore it with my fingers and I used lots of flour as it is a very sticky dough. 5. Apple Strudel. 6. Prepare Strudel Dough & have rolled out very thin on floured cloth. 7. Soak your raisins in the rum. 8. Preheat oven to 470*. 9. Peel, Core, and slice apples very thin with a vegetable slicer, sprinkle with lemon juice to avoid discoloration. 10. Brush the pulled-out strudel dough with the warm melted butter. 11. Dab the sour cream out and spread in a smooth layer over butter. 12. Spread the apple slices over the dough in an even layer (mine was a few layers of apple slices thick in places, I had a lot of apples) stopping about an inch short of the edges. 13. Sprinkle with rum soaked raisins (discard excess rum). 14. Sprinkle with sugar and spices to taste; I did a couple fistfuls of sugar. 15. Fold in the edges of the dough and with the help of the cloth, roll up the strudel loosely. 16. Slide the strudel into a well-buttered baking dish. 17. Bring milk and cream to a boil with some cinnamon sprinkled in, pour this over the top of the strudel in baking dish. 18. Bake @ 470* for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 420* Bake an additional 30-40 minutes. 19. Cut into portions before serving and sprinkle with sifted confectioners sugar. Serve hot or cold. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
