Thank you for sharing the Seerney Paska recipe, but I was wonder if you could be more specific about how much three cubes of butter is. Are you meaning sticks?

erin, Yes sticks!

Connie - I would love to see your Russian black bread recipe!! I love it and can’t find a good recipe anywhere…
I just finished my Easter Cheese an hour ago - hopefully it will set by Sunday morning!

My sister and I are going to start making our own kulich starting next year (Lord willing). We’re making seerney paska today. It’s time for us to carry on the tradition. Thanks for stopping by Meghan. Happy Easter to you.

My grandmother acquired these recipes back in the 1920’s when she lived in Europe. She made then every year I can recall until I took over the responsibility when she was in her 90’s.

My daughter, now almost 17, will make these with me today and we’ll share with our family, including my mother (the “cooking” challenged generation in our family) on Sunday.

I’m glad to see that we are in good company!

I’ve found kulich at Russian delicatessans sometimes european deli’s here in the Seattle area that sell ready made kulich. They aren’t as good as mom’s! I’m pretty challenged in the bread dept., myself.

Our daughters remember and talk about this!

I’ve managed to make a Russian Black bread that we all enjoy, but haven’t tried Kulich–I’m a bit “cooking challenged”!

Hi emom,
Yes, my mother saves those coffee cans. She makes huge batches so she can give one to each of us kids and husbands/wives and then smaller ones for all her grandkids. Since we moved to Washington they ship us our bread overnight! I’ve mastered the seerney paska but haven’t quite done the bread on my own. I’ll have to do that one of these years. So happy to hear of another blogger that knows about Kulich!

What fun! I didn’t realize Russian Easter bread was eaten with Seerney Paska. We’ve baked Kulich at Easter in the past, in large coffee tins. Is that how your mother makes it? It’s delicious. Maybe I’ll try it again this year. Thanks for the recipe!!! :~)
