Cooking, German
3 tbsps. of melted beef marrow
2 eggs
¾ pt. grated rolls
½ tsp. chopped parsley
1 pinch nutmeg
1 tbsp. cold water
½ tsp. salt
Preparation: Boil or cook the marrow until it is melted, strain it
through a fine sieve. Put 3 tablespoonfuls into a dish and let it cool
off. Then beat it to foam and add the yolks of the eggs, salt,
parsley, nutmeg, the grated rolls and water. Finally beat the whites
of 2 eggs to stiff froth and stir into the mass.
Form small dumplings, let bouillon come to a boil, put the dumplings
in and boil slowly ¼ hour.
It is best to try one dumpling first; in case it does not hold
together, add some more grated roll.
The soup must be served at once. A little chopped parsley put into it
is a pleasing and palatable addition.
No. 8—BUTTER-DUMPLING SOUP.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
2 tbsps. of butter, 2 eggs

Preparation of butter-dumplings is the same as the marrow dumplings
in No. 7.
The butter is beaten to a cream at once and less salt is added,
because the butter is already salted.
