Instructions: Make a well in the center of the flour and drop the salt and egg into it. Work in the flour and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover with a bowl for 20 minutes, then roll out as thin as possible on a lightly floured surface. Stretch the dough gently until it is even thinner. Let dry for 20 minutes, then fold dough in half. Cut in circles with a small melon-ball cutter or thimble.

Heat the fat to 375 degrees and drop the dough into it. Fry until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels and serve in beef or chicken soup.

Serves 8.
