Yonah Schimmel® Low-Fat New York City Knish

Here's a recipe that comes from a challenge issued by the New York Daily News. They wanted to find out if a West Coast boy could duplicate the taste of an authentic New York City knish. But, mind you, not just any knish.
This knish comes from one of the oldest knisheries in the Big Apple; a place which also takes pride in the low fat content of its knishes, versus the popular deep-fried variety. When I tasted the famous Yonah Schimmel knish (the first knish I had ever sampled), I realized that not only could a simple clone recipe be created, but that the fat gram count could come in even lower.
The Daily News even went so far as to have a lab analyze the fat content of not only the original knish
and the clone, but also the fat grams in a street vendor knish and a supermarket knish, just for comparison. The results are listed below. If you'd like to check out the original article that ran in the Daily News, click here
