BUTTER KUCHEN
For those who aren't familiar with butter kuchens yes, the filling is suppose to be runny. That's what makes it gooood. There are other butter kuchens out there that have firmer fillings but this is a spoon kuchen or a sopping kuchen. You're suppose to cut a piece of it and then dip it in the goo that's in the bottom of the pan. If you want a firmer filling then simply add another egg to the filling and omit the water. I think it makes it taste too eggy though when you do that.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your butterkuchen. Look for fresh, unsalted butter, good-quality flour, and pure vanilla extract.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making it light and tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined: Overmixing the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out: This will help to make the dough easier to work with.
- Roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness: This will ensure that the butterkuchen is cooked evenly.
- Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar: This will give the butterkuchen a golden brown crust.
- Bake the butterkuchen at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown: Keep an eye on the butterkuchen to prevent it from overbaking.
- Let the butterkuchen cool slightly before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the butterkuchen from falling apart.
