Comfort food

Each family has a comfort food that you can always count on to satisfy your cravings.  Germans have a tradition of cooking a lot with noodles as well as cream.  One of my favorite dishes is cream noodles.  After my mom would mix up a batch of bread dough, she would follow it with my grandma's recipe for noodles for dinner that night.

This recipe is very easy to make and with a  few simple changes, it's even easier.  The actual noodle recipe is bread dough (that's a separate entry for when I'm feeling more adventurous).  I've substituted and used frozen bread dough.  You can also use biscuit from a can as well.

MMMMMMM  Get ready for a wonderful dinner surprise!

RECIPE:
2c. cream
1 potato, cut
1 bayleaf
1-2tsp pepper
1-2tsp salt
1/2 onion, chopped
Approximately 20-30 noodles

Pour cream into large kettle.  Add in potato, onion, salt, pepper, and bay leaf.  Cut dough into small pieces and roll into one inch noodles.  When cream is boiling add in noodles putting enough space in between noodles as they will expand.





Cover pan with lid and cook until all cream is cooked into the noodles (~15 minutes).  The noodles will be large and crunchy on one side and fluffy on the other.

Serve and Enjoy!
