Dumpling Soup

Serves: 6-8

Filling Ingredients

6 oz ground pork
1 tsp chopped fresh marjoram
1 small onion
Salt and pepper

Dough Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
A pinch of Salt
1 egg
4 tsbps water
Chopped parsley

1. Combine all the filling ingredients, mixing well.
2. Prepare the dough by sifting the flour with a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center* and add the egg and water.
3. Using a wooden spoon, beat the ingredients together, gradually incorporating flour from the outside until the dough becomes too stiff to beat.
4. Knead the dough by hand until firm but elastic. Roll out dough very thinly on a floured surface and cut into three inch rounds.
5. Place a small spoonful of filling on each dough circle and brush the edges with water.
6. Press the edges together, making sure to seal well. Crimping the edges with a fork will create a nice touch after cooking.
7. Bring stock to a boil and add the dumplings. Cook about ten minutes, or until all of the dumplings have floated to the surface.
8. Add parsley and other seasonings.
* "Make a well in the center..." Make a well just by pressing down the center of the flour. to the Polish Food Main Page.
