Deep fried dumplings with seasoned ground beef. This is a favorite in Germany. Our family is German and my grandfather taught me how to me it! Recipe sounds odd. Take a chance. I guarantee your family will love it!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 cups milk

  • 8 ounces extra lean ground beef

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 quart oil for deep frying

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, salt and pepper until well blended. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Pour in the eggs and milk, and stir until well blended using a sturdy spoon. Form the dough into 2 inch balls, and roll out into circles 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.

  3. Form the beef into golf ball sized balls, and place each one onto one half of a dough circle. Fold the other halves of the circles over to enclose the dough. Seal the edges using a saucer or pressing with your fingers.

  4. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C), or over medium-high heat in a large deep skillet. Fry the Keuchle until golden brown, turning once. It should take about 10 minutes total for each batch.
