The makitzi that my mother-in-law makes are from her hometown of Berkovitza. She describes the recipe as very basic, so you can add any filler to the dough. The recipe is very rough as she doesn't really measure anything exactly, so I will use my description and her recipe to make this as clear as possible.

Salmon Patties Like Mom’s - well sorta! by Salad Foodie

My siblings and I just loved salmon patties in the “good old days.” Mom was in the workforce so the pantry was always stocked with canned salmon for this quick-to-fix meal.

Aunt Birdie’s Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Two Versions) by Salad Foodie

This recipe brings fond memories of a favorite aunt who was a terrific cook. (My cousin and I used to say the only thing we wanted when Aunt Birdie passed away was her recipe box!) The recipe works equally well as a Bundt cake or as a 9" x 13" cake. This is the only sour cream coffee cake recipe I’ve ever seen that starts with a…

To simplify prep time, use a commercially prepared crust. Then just add a tossed salad and fruit for dessert!
