One is filled, and then rolled. In the other, an unsugared fairly soft dough generally made of eggs, water, and flour - sometimes milk - is rolled as thin as possible, ideally you could read through it. It is then rolled, and the roll cut into two inch lengths.<br /><br />These are served with fried potatoes; the potatoes are fried, and then enough water to cover is added and brought to a boil. The cut pieces of roll - the "noodles" - are placed on top and the pot covered tightly. Allow to boil without removing the lid for thirty minutes or they will become tough.<br /><br />When the water is gone, you will hear frying, at that point you may remove the cover and gently mix, letting the noodles brown a bit.<br /><br />Delicious. Other foods than potatoes may be used.<br /><br />This recipe was popular among the Germans from Russia; some of my paternal ancestors came from Bessarabia and brought this tradition with them.<br /><br />The North Dakota State University sells Germans from Russia cultural books, including cookbooks, as part of the support for the Germans from Russia Heritage Collection. They may be purchased at www.ndsu.edu/grhc/order.<br /><br />There are many recipes in these that are adaptable to vegetarian cuisine as there are many good substitutes for lard and many dishes involved no meat, only eggs and dairy.Nadjanoreply@blogger.com
