    3. I have had a number of requests for this and finally getting this out: Dumplings Two cups of flour, three eggs, salt, and a little water. Mix everything together when adding the water just add enough to make the dough a a firm moist batter. The dough should be stiff enough to use a tsp to spoon out. Get a large kettle half full of water. When water is boiling begin to spoon out about a 1/4 tsp amount of dumplings from the bowl at a time. (The first time I made this my dumplings were huge!) After all dumplings are in quarter about two potatoes and put into pot. While this is cooking dice up a yellow or white onion and place into a small skillet with a stick of butter and let cook until onions are translucent. When potatoes are done drain and place back into pot. Add the onions and butter and cook/fried until desired. I like to eat these with a can of pork n beans. A very cheap meal. We have this a lot during lent on Fridays. (Some people add baking powder, some add milk. There are different variations to this recipe.) Cheese Sacks I small containor of Dry Curd Cottage cheese. (Do not use the regular cottage cheese that contains the way) 1 whole egg Chopped scallons Pepper and salt Mix together in a stiff mixture the above ingredients. Set aside. Make noodle dough. (pretty much the same recipes as above less the water) Roll out the dough and cut into squares. Add mixture to each square and pinch them shut. One trick it to use egg yolks smeard along the edge of the square to help seal the edges. Gently place them into boling water and boil for about 20 minutes. Some sacks may open in the water. While this is boiling make your ³Schmeltz². Take a stick of butter and a finely chopped onion and let them fry together into a small skillted. You may also take a slice of bread and cut into small squares and place into the butter to soak up and fry. After the cheese sacks are complete pour the fried breads squares/onions and butter over the cheese sacks and enjoy! Of course there are variations to this recipe as well. We sometimes used Schwazenberan instead of cheese or you may also add the Schwazenberan, mix with a little sugar and pour over the cheese sacks. Kevin Rupp
