Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup margarine
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup chopped nuts
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups.

Step 2
Mix 1 cup and 2 tablespoons flour, margarine, and cream cheese in a bowl using a fork. Form dough into 24 small balls. Press and shape each ball to form a shell in the prepared muffin cups.

Step 3
Mix brown sugar, nuts, butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Spoon mixture into the prepared dough.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until keufels are lightly browned and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

I usually use the regular size muffin tin and make 12 large ones and I use 1 cup of very finely chopped walnuts for a very nutty taste.
