Apparently, this is German comfort food. This is one variation, adapted by my good friend Sam, Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick) or 4 tablespoons margarine (1/2 stick) |
1/4 cup flour |
2 cups milk or 2 cups water or 2 cups stock |
1/4 cup prepared brown mustard |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2 -4 tablespoons vinegar, to taste |
4 eggs |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the flour and whisk until absorbed and pasty taste has cooked out, about 3 minutes.
2. Add liquid, mustard, salt, sugar and vinegar and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil and cook until thick, about 3 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to a simmer and add eggs, one at a time. Poach gently until eggs are soft-set, 3-4 minutes. Serve over boiled potatoes (or, if you're Sam, over toast).
