"The original recipe was published by a journalist under the fake name Lucullus, at the beginning of the 1900's in "The Cookbook of Greater Hungary," with the following quotation on the cover: "Collected from the recipes of the best Hungarian housewives, by Lucullus."The literal translation of the original recipe: "Prepare ordinary strudel dough, when dough dries, stretch it to cover an entire tin lined with lard, now knead dough for soup pasta, of 2-3 eggs, cut it to one hand span long by 4 finger's breadths wide pieces.
Cook in slightly salty water, strain, and let dry. In the meantime make a tasty cottage cheese pancake filling (cottage cheese, sour cream, egg yolk, sugar, raisins, and almonds).
Then spread lard or butter over strudel in pan, spread thin layer of cottage cheese filling on it, cover it with a layer of pasta, then strudel dough again, butter, filling, pasta, strudel dough, repeat this order three times in all, bake until nice and red at the top, cut and serve hot."
