(22,464 posts)My mom would make this for us when we were sick and I love it!
You boil caraway seeds in water to make a strong caraway tea and then throw most of the seeds away, (or use them for something else). Then you make dumplings with flour, egg, water and salt and cut little dumplings into the simmering caraway water.
Then you thicken it by browning some flour and butter and adding it back to the soup.
And you have to add a lot of salt!
Then you have your dumplings in caraway soup and you eat it and everything is OK again.
btw - Caraway is really good for your stomach so it helps a tummy ache.

My time machine is called pagac. Smelling it on Saturday mornings was heaven. Eating it was even better.
I haven't made in years. My wife's is mac and cheese with crawfish finished up under the broiler with bread crumbs.
I'm making both tomorrow.

(57,013 posts)from rising to much. Have about 6" of dough over the sides. Put mash potato/sauerkraut mix thinly over it and chopped bacon over that, fold the edges over, punch thru with the fork, and bake. This is done the night before.
The next morning you reheat by slicing and reheating in a skillet with some bacon grease.
Heaven in a chilled Pennsylvania farm kitchen in the coal mining mountains around Johnstown, let me tell you!
We also ate pirogi. My mother, grandmother, aunt and Mrs Wagner used to get together and make hundreds of them. (there were six kids in our home and six more in my aunt Dorothy's) 95% potato/cheese, the rest prune. I used to make them myself but since have been using MrsT's and they're PDG. Onions simmered in butter until almost melted for a topping with a good shake of salt and pepper - recently started adding a good pinch of cheddar on top. Almost makes me want to find some polka music on youtube.
The left overs for breakfast fried in leftover onion butter!
The bright spot of the Trumpvirus has been the eats and how much more money we have by not eating out.
