| What You Need: |
|
|
|
2 eggs
2 tablespoons freshly rendered lard or oil
½ cup water
½ cup milk
2½ cups all-purpose flour
2½ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon baking powder
4 quarts water

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Using an electric mixer, blend the eggs, lard or oil, water, and milk. Stir the flour together with ½ teaspoon of the salt and the baking powder in a dry bowl. Blend this mixture into the liquid. Mix well and set aside for a moment.
|
2. Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of salt. Using a Spaetzle maker or Spaetzle press, squeeze the dough into the boiling water.
|
3. Use about 1/3 of the dough for each batch. When the dumplings float to the surface, they are done. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place in a colander.
|
4. They can be served this way with Paprika Gravy or pan-fried with a little butter, just until they are a bit golden, and topped with parsley.
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
These dumplings can also be made by using a piping bag or dropping very small amounts from a spoon. The latter takes much much longer.
