Cook Time:
This recipe came from my grandmother, Margaret H. It has been passed down in our family from our ancestors in Sweden. I grew up thinking this was what everyone called "dumplings." I usually put them in chicken soup instead of pouring hot fat over them!
Directions:
1
Beat egg well, add salt and water or milk and stir this into the flour until a smooth batter is formed.
2
Drop by spoonfuls into boiling, salted water and let cook 15 minutes.
3
Drain in a colander.
4
Pour hot fat or meat gravy over them and serve.
5
Garnish with fried onions, cracker crumbs, or any desired dressing.
Ratings & Reviews:
This sounds very similar to one of my family recipes that has also been passed down. See my Mom Wood's Spaetzles . YUM!
