Grandma Julia Messer's Knoephles

Directions:
1. For each cup of flour, use 1 egg and 1 cup of milk. Mix flour, egg, and milk to form a stiff dough. (Pour in the milk a little at a time; you don't want the dough too "soupy".) Drop by spoonfuls into boiling water. When they float, they're done. Remove & drain.

2. While water is heating, place Saltines between sheets of waxed paper & crush with rolling pin. Roll the dumplings in cracker crumbs. Melt a little bacon grease in cast-iron skillet and lightly brown the knoephles.

Serve with roast pork, potatoes, & sauerkraut.

PS: This was our favorite Sunday dinner. Leftovers were cut up & mixed together in one large covered bowl & refrigerated a few days, then served as a weeknight supper by heating up in the same cast-iron skillet. Even better this way!
