Knepp-
Ingredients:
2 eggs (free range organic eggs are best)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tbs of olive oil or butter
1. Put the flour in a mixing bowl.
2. Break eggs and put in another bowl (be sure and put the egg shells in the compost and not in the bowl, which I did once.).
3. Lightly beat with a fork the eggs.
4. Stir the eggs into the flour until all the flour is moist. The flour and egg mixture will be gummy, and gooey.
5. Put on a medium pan of water, salt and bring to a boil.
6. Take a tablespoon of the egg flour mixture and drop it into the boiling water. Repeat until all the mixture is gone. (use your finger to push the mixture off the spoon one at a time, into water.)
7. Let the little dumplings boil in the water for about 10 minutes. Then take them out with a draining spoon, getting the water off of them. You can pour the water and dumplings into a strainer also.
8. Using a fry pan, put in the oil or butter and heat until melted or warm. Use a medium heat.
9. Put the dumplings into the pan, frying them slowly and lightly, turning them, until they are golden brown.
10. Serve….
This is a side dish for our New Years Day lucky meal. It is served with a boiled pork roast. The pork is boiled the last hour with a jar of sauerkraut. We usually have mashed potatoes with it. Most of us put sauerkraut on the mashed potatoes and then put organic apple butter or organic unsweetened applesauce on top of that. My mom says it is a wonderful mix of sour and sweet. People who don't like the sauerkraut usually like this combination, which is very good for you! It is an old German dish that our family has every New Years Day for good luck that next year!
