Serve these dumplings, smothered with fried onions, instead of other starches. Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup uncooked farina |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 cup cold butter |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
6 -8 quarts salt water |
2 large onions, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup butter |
sour cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, farina, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the butter in small pieces. Crumble the flour mixture with your fingertips to form a coarse meal.
3. Add the eggs and milk. Stir until the batter is smooth.
4. Bring the salted water to a boil. Using two tablespoons, drop the batter into the boiling water. Cover, and simmer for 8 minutes. Cook 6 to 8 at a time.
5. Remove cooked dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon and place them in a buttered ovenproof dish. Keep warm in a slow 250°F oven until all the dumplings and the topping are done.
6. To prepare the topping, melt the butter in a skillet. Saute the sliced onions until they are light brown and starting to crisp. Remove from heat.
7. Cover the dumplings with the fried onions. Serve accompanied by a bowl of sour cream, if you wish. Yield: About 12 to 15 dumplings.
8. Leftover halushky are delicious fried in butter or bacon fat.
