"SUPPEE SCHWANGEN"
Mary was taught to make these by the Professor's wife. She beat
together either 1 or 2 raw eggs, 1/2 cup flour, 1 tablespoonful
butter, a little salt, and just enough milk to thin the mixture enough
so it may be dropped by half teaspoonfuls into hot soup stock or
broth. Cook these small dumplings about 10 minutes. Serve in soup
broth.
