A very good friend gave me this recipe. These are very good warm, or cold. Try various fruit jams, or come up with your own.By leaving out lemon peel, and leaving off cinnamon and sugar, the dough is very good with various meat fillings. Use your imagination. I have made them with left-over meatloaf, before sealing, try spoon-ful of catsup or bbq sauce on meat, seal and bake. Try pulled pork, chicken, the alternatives are just about endless.
