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!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup milk
1 egg
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.
