--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       c            Flour
   1       ts           Baking powder
   1 1/2   ts           Sugar
     1/4   ts           Salt
     1/4   c            Butter -- cut up
     1/3   c            Milk
   2                    Eggs
   1 1/2   c            Cream-style cottage cheese
     1/3   c            Sugar
     1/3   c            Half-and-half, light cream,
                        - or evaporated milk
   1       tb           Flour
     1/2   ts           Vanilla
     1/4   ts           Ground cinnamon
     1/8   ts           Salt

  Crust:

  In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, baking powder,
  1-1/2 ts sugar and 1/4 ts salt. Cut in butter until mixture
  resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center: add milk all at
  once. Stir just until dough clings together. On a lightly floured
  surface, roll dough into an 11" circle. Fit into bottom and up
  sides of an ungreased 9x1-1/2" round baking pan. Trim crust even
  with top edge of pan. Bake the crust at 350 F oven for 5 minutes.
  Set aside.

  Filling:

  In a large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in cottage cheese, 1/3 cup sugar,
  half and half, 1 tb flour, vanilla, cinnamon and 1/8 ts salt until
  combined. Pour filling into crust. Bake in a 350 F oven for
  30 minutes or until center is nearly set when shaken. Cool the
  dessert on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover and chill for at least
  4 hours.
  
  Notes:

  Mary Thrill of Fredonia, Wisconsin says this is a long-time
  favorite Luxembourgish dessert. Serve with coffee for a wonderful
  midmorning break.
