Mlecna Polevka s Nudlemi aneb Kapani
MILK SOUP WITH NOODLES OR NOODLE BATTER

2 quarts milk
1 tbsp. butter
Egg noodles (made from one egg)
1 tsp. salt

Bring the milk to a boil. Add the noodles, salt, and butter. Cook slowly until the noodles are cooked.

Variation:

Beat 2 eggs until frothy. Add 5 tbsp. milk, ½ tsp. salt, and ¾ cup flour to make a medium thin batter. Set a colander over the boiling milk. Pour the batter into the colander and press it through quickly. The batter will drop through the colander in long strings and make little curls in the boiling milk. Cook five minutes longer and serve.

While the above is cooking place 2 tbsp. grease in a medium sized skillet on medium heat. Blend in 6 tbsp. flour. Brown, stiring frequently. Cool. Add 1½ cups water gradually. Stir until smooth. Set aside.

Place 8 large gingersnaps in a bowl. Pour ½ cup water over the ginger snaps. Set aside until the meat is done.

When the meat is tender, add the ginger snaps and the browned flour mixture.
