Alsatian Dumplings

1/2 cup           butter 1                   egg -- separated 1                   egg yolk 3/4 cup           flour 1/4 teaspoon      salt dash pepper dash nutmeg

Cream butter until soft and beat in egg yolks; gradually stir in flour, seasoning and stiffly beaten egg whites. Shape in small balls 1 inch in diameter, drop into boiling salted water and simmer, covered, about 5 minutes; do not let dumplings boil. Put in hot tureen and pour hot soup over them; or cook dumplings in boiling hot bouillon or consomm�. 1 1/2 dozen.

I don't put in the nutmeg just because I don't care for the taste of that spice. Enjoy.
