The following recipe came from a Dutch immigrant family to Canada – after the Second World War, immigrants from all over Europe flocked to the “New World”.  Luckily, they brought their recipes with them, and share them willingly.  

Koek

  Butter and flour two loaf tins.  Preheat oven to 350° F (170° – 180° C)
