Recipe - Gefuellte Maultaschen

250 g Flour (2 cups plus 3 1/2
Tbsp)
2 Eggs
Salt
4 tablespoon To 5 tablespoon water
Stuffing:
500 g Smoked meat, cooked and
minced (a generous lb)
1 Kaisertype roll, cubed and
sauteed
Finely chopped onion greens
1 Pancake, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Egg white (for sealing
edges)

Dough:

The liquid the smoked meat has been cooked in makes a suitable broth.

Combine the flour, eggs, salt, and water into a pasta dough. Knead well,
and immediately roll out thin on a floured pastry board. Cut the dough into
5inch squares.

Make the stuffing by mixing the smoked meat, sauteed cubed roll, onion
greens, and minced pancake. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put one heaping
tablespoon of this stuffing on each square of dough. Brush the edges of the
dough with egg white, and fold each square over, into a triangle. With your
fingers, press the edges of the dough which should seal immediately. Put
the 'Maultaschen' into barely cooking salted water, and let them simmer for
5 minutes, turning over the pasta once.

Carefully remove 'Maultaschen' from water, as they are very fragile.
Immediately transfer them to the hot broth, and serve.

Serves 4.
