Instructions
For Dumplings:
- Mix all dumpling ingredients in a bowl and combine well
- Divide into two pieces just to make easier to work with
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece out with your hand so it is approximately ½ inch in diameter and like a rope
- If needed sprinkle with flour to make easier to work with
- Cut into ½ inch dumpling pieces and set aside.
- Add water to a large pot, salt, and heat to high
- Allow to boil 3-5 minutes or until all dumplings are floating at top
- Strain and set aside
For Skillet:
- Add butter to large frying pan and turn to medium high
- Once butter is melted, add dumplings and fry for about five minutes or until a golden brown crust starts to develop on dumplings. Make sure to mix with a spatula regularly.
- Add sausage and cook for another 5 minutes or until sausage is warmed
- Add milk and allow to simmer for 15 minutes
- add salt and pepper to taste
- Add sauerkraut and cook until warmed.
- Serve
Notes
- You can really use any cured sausage in this dish.
- I use a cast iron skillet, but any sizable pan should work.
