Anna's German Dumplings recipe

12 servings

3/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cold water

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 eggs, beaten

1 cup all-purpose flour

Place the milk and salt in a saucepan, and set over medium heat.

In a small bowl, mix together 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour and water.

When the milk begins to bubble, stir in the flour mixture, and cook stirring constantly until thickened, 2 or 3 minutes.

Let cool until set.

You can put the mixture in the refrigerator to speed the process.

Fold the eggs into the chilled dough.

Add 1 cup of flour and mix thoroughly (dough will be lumpy).

Drop into simmering soups by the teaspoonful.

Simmer covered for 10 minutes, remove lid, and simmer 10 minutes more.
