Hi Debbie,
See below for three recipes - two fried & 1 baked.

Sweet Potato Jacks
Recipe:
2 to 3 medium size sweet potatoes.
a pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
juice from 1/2 a lemon or juice from 1/3 orange
1/3 cup of butter or margarine
1/4 cup of milk
sugar to taste
Pastry shells
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of margarine
salt to taste
1/2 cup of ice water
Boil the sweet potatoes whole until tender -- able to put fork through
it with ease.
Peel the potatoes by scraping a fork over the skin. While hot add nutmeg,
cinnamon, juice from lemon or orange, butter, milk and sugar. Sugar to taste.
If you have a sweet tooth, you can add more sugar. Mash it all together so
that you get a thick consistency. If you want a smooth batter, you can mix
it in a cake blender.
For the crust, sift all dry ingredients together. Blend in the margarine
with a fork or pastry utensil. When it is smooth, add water gradually until
you get a nice pie dough. Knead.
Roll dough about a 1/8 inch thick. Cut the bottom out of a coffee can to make
uniform circles.
Put a two to three tablespoons of batter in the center of each circle.
Wet around the dough ends and seal by depressing a fork around the edges
of the dough.
Should make between 12 to 15 potato jacks.
Fry them in oil on side; and when they start getting slightly brown on ends
turn them to other side.

Hi Jan,
Well, it's like this....
The cheese that we call "mozzarella" first appeared in southern Italy in
the early 15th century. It was then called just "mozza", and it was indeed
made with the milk of the water buffalo (not to be confused with our American
buffalo or bison). However, as the tasty cheese began to spread outside
southern Italy, it came to be made with cow's milk, since buffalo were not
as plentiful elsewhere.
Today, 95% of all mozzarella worldwide is made with cow's milk. In Southern
Italy, it is still made with buffalo milk, and I suppose that the buffalo
milk version would have to be called the most authentic. The cow's milk
version is also made in southern Italy, and it's called fiordilatte there
to distinguish it from the "true" buffalo milk mozzarella .

Hi Jeanne,
Well, the thing about numbers & mathematics is that, if they are used correctly, they don't lie:
1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs = 35.2 ounces
1 cup of flour, spooned into the cup unsifted, weighs 4.5 ounces
35.2 ounces divided by 4.5 ounces = 7.8 cups of flour in one kilogram of flour.
I'd say the problem must be elsewhere, probably in the liquid ingredients, not
in the amount of flour, which would be close to 8 cups as you can see. But perhaps
there is a typographical error in the recipe that you have, and the 1kg is incorrect?
