-German Pancake Soup FLAEDLESUPPE

Calories:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups wheat flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • pinch of salt
  • grated nutmeg to taste
  • 10 cups good beef stock* recipe here
  • chives for garnishing

Instructions

  • -Mix together flour, eggs, and salt in a large bowl.
  • -Gradually add the milk and nutmeg, stirring all the time until smooth. This mixture needs to be quite thin as you will be making crepe-like pancakes and the batter needs to easily roll quickly around the bottom of a heavy non-stick skillet. Add additional milk to thin the batter if needed.
  • -Heat a heavy non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • -Pour a small ladle full of batter into the middle of the pan and move the pan swiftly until the batter covers the bottom of the pan.
  • -Flip or turn your flaedel once the bottom is golden brown.
  • -Continue making flaedes until all the batter is used and cool them completely.
  • -Once your pancakes are completely cooled, roll them up into cigar shapes and slice each pancake into thin strips.
  • -They are now ready to add to your hot beef stock* (See the following recipe) or you can use good quality store-bought stock if desired. Very important: Do not put the hot pancakes into your hot stock as they will fall to pieces and form a gooey mess.
  • -You can also freeze your cut pancakes as they hold up beautifully in a zip lock bag. This is a perfect dish for entertaining as everything can be made in advance, frozen, and assembled easily on the day of your event.
