Dumplings - Fleischkuechle (Flesh-Keek-Luh) - Germany 🇩🇪

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Dumplings - Fleischkuechle (Flesh-Keek-Luh) - Germany 🇩🇪

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

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