    A great PA Dutch speciality!

    • 1 quart sauerkraut
    • 1 small piece of pork
    • 1/2 cup water, if needed
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 2 eggs, beaten
    • water, as needed

    3. Meantime, you can make the dumplings:
    4. Mix flour and baking powder, add the eggs.
    5. Use just enough water to make a dough that drops easily from the spoon, but is not too thin.
    6. Bring the sauerkraut to a rolling boil (add a little water if it is too dry).
    7. Drop dumplings by the spoonsful, cover and cook 3 to 5 minutes until the dumplings are done.
    8. Test by taking out one dumpling and cut it in half to make sure it is completely cooked and dry in the center.
    9. Remove the dumplings.
    10. Serve the sauerkraut in a deep dish or on a platter surrounded with the dumplings.
