As soon as I saw the picture I knew what was happening. I have delightful memories of my great-gran, Nanny, showing my 5 year-old self how to stretch strudel dough on her table to hang over the edges. My favorite part was always "helping" her pick up the huge pastry cloth to watch the magic of it rolling itself up across the table while she guided it with the cloth. Haven't done this since she passed some 30 years ago. You've inspired me to make strudel with Nanny again for she's always with me when I'm baking - and then I'll show my small grandsons the magic. Wish I had Nanny's recipe but it looks like this one will be perfect. Thank you!
