Hot Dogs And Sauerkraut With Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Make into a paste. Drop into boiling kraut.
• If your rise is not pleasing, put in more baking powder.
• I have seen recipes up to a tbsp of baking powder.
• Once it is the right consistency to drop and you do, close the pan and do NOT, I repeat, Do NOT look at the dumplings until done.
• About 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Make sure the pigs knuckles if using is clean and scraped. Pork can also be used. Add to taste. 2 to 3 pounds if using pork.
• Combine with the sauerkraut and cover with cold water.
• Cook slowly until the knuckles [or pork] are tender and well done.
• To the beaten egg, add the melted butter and water. Then sift the flour, salt and nutmeg [we did NOT use this. I am not sure how it will taste] together and combine with egg mixture. If using the baking powder put it in the dumpling mix.
• Beat thoroughly. If necessary, add more flour to make batter stiff enough to drop from spoon. You want sticky drop cookie consistency. You will need to PUSH it off the spoon but it should come off easily.
• Fifteen minutes before serving, drop the batter by spoonfuls into the hot sauerkraut. Cover pot tightly and serve as soon as dumplings are cooked. DO NOT PEEK. DO NOT OPEN THE POT. If you do you will have flat rocks.
• Rule of thumb use 1 tsp baking powder for each egg. Use water to stiffen. You might want to add it a tbsp at a time until dough is right consistency.
• Make sure the pork is cooked before adding the dumplings. IF is shreds when you cook it? It's done.

Steps:

• In a large skillet add the sauerkraut. Place hot dogs on top of the kraut.
• Cover and let simmer 15-20 minutes or until hot dogs are plump and hot.
• Serve over mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Empty the bag of fresh sauerkraut into a deep pan. Add water and hot dogs. Top this off with the tube of refrigerator bisquits. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes. Bisquits are now fluffy like dumplings. Serve with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
