1 ea
Egg, well beaten
1 c
Flour
1 1/2 tb
Butter, melted
1/2 c
Water
1/2 ts
Salt
1 ds
Nutmeg
5 ea

Clean, scrape and wash thoroughly the pig's knuckles. Combine with the
sauerkraut and cover with cold water. Cook slowly until the knuckles
are tender. To the beaten egg, add the melted butter and water. Sift
the flour, salt and nutmeg together and combine with egg mixture.
Beat thoroughly. If necessary, add more flour to make batter stiff

by spoonfuls into the hot sauerkraut. Cover pot tightly and serve as
soon as dumplings are cooked. Source: Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book -
