Kreplach recipe

45 servings

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 pounds lean ground beef

4 onions, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)

1/8 cup crushed walnuts

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups warm water

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and add beef, onions, salt and pepper to taste, cinnamon, and nuts; cook until beef is no longer pink.

Remove from heat and let cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, eggs, and water; mix until dough is smooth.

Roll the dough into a ball and cut into 10 pieces.

On a floured board, roll flat each piece of dough; cut out 5 circles, about 3 inches in diameter.

Place about 1 teaspoon of meat filling in the middle of each circle; fold the dough over and seal the edges with a small amount of water.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; drop in kreplach a few at a time.

Cook for 4 minutes or until kreplach float to the top.

Remove with a slotted spoon; serve.
