SC - babke

[rudin at okway.okstate.edu]

     AFAIK they are polish.  The spelling may or may not be accurate.  I 
     lived in an area with a very lareg polish community and these were 
     always available in the bakery sections of grocery stores.  They are 
     shaped like they were baked in a tube pan.  They are yeast based and 
     bread like, not spongy.  Maybe I'll just have to call an old friend up 
     north and see if her grandmother left her a recipe.  If I get anything 
     I'll send it to you.  Thanks for looking!

I didn't come across a recipe for babke, but I'll keep an eye out.  I wonder 
if they may not be related to baba, which are spongy yeast-rising cakes of 
French origin.  What is the national origin of the babke?
