½ of a 30-oz. bag of frozen hash-browned potatoes, thawed
Directions:
Mix eggs, lemon juice, salt, pepper, baking powder, oil, water, flour and onions. Whip until batter is creamy and not lumpy. Add hash browns and blend with large spoon. Keep batter refrigerated until use.
To prepare, heat nonstick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Add spoonfuls of potato pancake mixture and fry on both sides until browned and crispy, about 3 min. per side.
12 tablespoons (about) chopped frozen and thawed cranberries (do not chop too fine)
Directions:
Whip together the buttermilk, milk, oil and eggs using a large wire whisk. Fold all dry ingredients into wet ingredients until batter is creamy, not lumpy. Let batter sit.
When ready to prepare: Ladle batter onto a hot oiled griddle. Sprinkle with cranberries. Cook until edges are set and bubbles form. Flip and cook about 1 more min. Serve with butter and maple syrup
Notes: Add more milk for thinner pancakes. The batter gets thicker as it sits. Store in ice bath when not using.
Pour the warm water in a small bowl and add the yeast and sugar. Stir and set about 10 min. In a medium size bowl combine the honey, molasses, cocoa, flours, salt and oil, then add the yeast/sugar mix and stir. Turn the dough out onto a counter and form into a ball. If it is too sticky add just a bit of flour.
Put a few drops of olive oil into a small bowl, spread it around and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with plastic that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Let dough rise until double, about one hour. Form the dough into a loaf. Spray the bread pan generously with cooking oil. Place dough in the greased pan.
Let rise until double, 30-45 min. and bake at 350 degrees 25 to 30 min. Check the bread by dumping it out just barley and tapping the underneath to see if it sounds hollow. Do not over bake. Cool on a cooling rack.
The restaurant was renown for its yeasted coffeee cake. The cake, known in Germany as Streuselkuchen, is a German specialty, a yeast dough covered with a sweet crumb topping called streusel. The streusel is key for the Heinemann cake.
Scald milk in a small saucepan. Remove pan from heat and let stand until the milk is warm, about 10 min.; 110 to 120ºF.
Sprinkle the yeast and 1 t. of sugar into the milk and stir well. Let stand for about 10 min., until the yeast is bubbly and foamy.
Make the dough using a stand mixer: combine 2-1/4 c. of the flour with the remaining sugar in the bowl of the mixer and add the butter and lemon zest. Attach the flat beater and mix on low speed for about 3 min. Add the remaining flour 1/2 c. at a time until the flour looks mealy. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand, add the yeast and eggs, and stir with a rubber spatula to make a moist, thick dough. With dough hook, beat on low speed 1 min. Increase the speed to medium and beat 5 min., or until the dough becomes sticky and elastic and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Sprinkle 1 T. flour over the dough and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, 1 hour or more.
Lightly flour a work surface. Dislodge the dough onto the work surface and turn to coat all surfaces lightly with flour. Divide in half. Shape each half into a ball, cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 min. The dough is now ready to use.
Directions for Streuselkuchen:
Butter a 9” square baking pan. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to the size of the pan. It will be about ¼” thick. Transfer the dough to the pan and pat it onto the bottom and into the corners. Do not make a rim; the dough should be flat. Cover with a kitchen towel.
Make the Streusel Crumb Topping:
Put the flour, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and butter into the work bowl of a food processor or mixer . let the machine run just until the ingredients begin to form small crumbly masses. Do not process beyond the crumb stage.
Uncover the dough. Press the crumbs to form clumps the size of large peas, and sprinkle on the top of the dough. Continue making larger lumps of streusel and sprinkling them evenly all over the dough. There will be a generous layer of streusel covering the dough. Cover the Streuselkuchen with a kitchen towel and let stand at room temperature for 20 min.
Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat to 350ºF.
Uncover the kuchen and place the pan in the oven. Bake for about 30 min., until the kuchen has risen almost to the top of the pan and is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the top with a generous layer of vanilla confectioners’ sugar. Cool completely on a wire rack. This is at its best when very fresh. Cut into portions with a sharp knife.

Roll about 2-T. portions of dough into balls, place on parchment lined cookie sheets 2” apart and flatten slightly. Bake in preheated oven about 13 min. until cookies are firm around the edges and cracked on top. Cool. Cookies should be crisp on the outside, chewy inside.
John Boder started Boders on-the-River restaurant in Mequon and Thiensville in 1929. His children, grandchildren and great grandchildren kept and keep his legacy alive.
Today, we very much miss the restaurant and its gorgeous views of the Milwaukee River as it meanders through Wisconsin. So, we’re happy to report Mr. Boder’s great grandchildren Kathy Burghardt and Suzy Wagner are today preparing the amazing food and heritage of Boders and more in their Mequon business Dish Delivered, where they serve as “personal chef(s) that deliver.” So, leave the expertise to Kathy and Suzy and call them at 414-803-9894 or check out their site at https://www.delishdelivered.net/ .
And, if you’d like to try your hand at Boder recipes, we are fortunate the Boder family shared some of their treasured delicacies with us and in a Boders Cookbook. We’re honored to offer you a few shared recipes here and in following posts.
