TORTE COUNTESS KRASINSKA ( POLISH DESSERT )
This won Best of Show in ethnic foods at the 1990 State Fair of Texas. I'm not really sure what it has to do with Countess Krasinska or what makes it a Polish dessert but a cook in Carrolton, Texas apparently knows something I don't. It appealed to me for an entirely different reason; a chance to use a gadget I picked up, new in the box, at a garage sale. The instructions on said gadget are German but the pictures tell me that this 9" round plastic disk with equally spaced teeth is for punching holes in cake tops. Pretty neat, huh?
