carrot & onion until very fine. Set aside.

Combine salt, mustard, Sure Jel, lemon peel, cornstarch, meringue

mixing at high speed. When thoroughly mixed & ice has melted, slowly 
add soybean oil while mixing at high speed. Mix until thick. This

Hello John,

Well, I had mixed success. I could only find one masnica recipe in English, and it has eggs and onion stuffing instead of the bacon. It's the first one below. Below it are two more masnica recipes, but they are in Croatian. Hopefully, you can translate or know someone who can.

Phaed

Ogulinska masnica 

Ingredients:
Dough: flour 0,5 kg, yeast 0,02 kg, salt 0,02 kg, 1 egg
Stuffing: red onion 0,3 kg, 8 eggs, salt

Preparation:
Make a dough out of flour, yeast, eggs and salt and add some water. 
Leave on warm about half an hour until it rises. Stew onions, cool 
down and add 8 eggs and some salt if necessary.
Divide dough into three parts, roll out flat, fill with stuffing and 
roll. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes at 180° C.

Masnica (prilog), 
Specijalitet licke kuhinje 

Sastojci:
vuceno tijesto (brašno, jaje, sol, mlaka voda)
svježi sir i jaja za nadjev
ulje 

Opis:

te nadjev premazati preko tijesta. Umotati, premazati uljem, staviti u 
okruglu limenu posudu premazanu uljem i peci na 180°C. Servirati toplo. 
-----------------------------------
Prigorska Masnica 

Sastojci Za Cetiri Osobe: 

Za Tijesto: 

3 dag svježeg kvasca ili vrecica suhoga 
50 dag brašna 
1 žumance 
10 dag margarina 
8 dag šecera 
2 do 3 dl mlijeka 
1/4 žlicice soli 

Za Nadjev: 

4 jaja 
10 dag šecera 
2 dl kiselog vrhnja 
10 dag groždica 
šecer u prahu za posipanje  
 
Priprema: 

Izmrvljeni svježi kvasac (ili suhi) izmiješajte sa 1/2 dl mlakog 
mlijeka, žlicom šecera, žlicom brašna pa pokriveno držite na 
toplom dok ne udvostruci volumen. Brašno stavite u zdjelu, 
dodajte dignuti kvasac, rastopljenu polovicu margarina, žumance, 
sol i šecer. Dodajte mlako mlijeko i mijesite tijesto dok se na 
njemu ne pojave mjehurici i dok se ne odvoji od stijenki posude. 
Dobro pokriveno držite na toplom mjestu da se digne nešto više 
od dvostruke prvotne kolicine. Tada ga iz zdjele prebacite na 
pobrašnjenu podlogu, podijelite na dva dijela i svaki dio 
premijesite te valjkom razvaljajte na centimetar debljine. 
Namažite ostatkom margarina i zatim nadjevom. 
Odmah savijte oba dijela, pa ih stavite u namašcen lim posut 
brašnom. Opet ostavite dizati na toplom mjestu oko 40 minuta. 
Tada ih premažite bjelancem i stavite peci u zagrijanu pecnicu 
na srednje jakoj vatri oko 1 sat. Pecenu, još toplu masnicu, 
pospite šecerom u prahu, a režite je tek posve hladnu. 
Nadjev izradite od žumanca i šecera od kojih napravite gustu, 
svijetlu i pjenastu smjesu. Dodajte groždice i kiselo vrhnje. 
Sve lagano miješajte pa dodajte cvrsti snijeg od bjelanaca.
