INGREDIENTS:
1 knob of butter (size of an egg) 1 brain (veal) salt, pepper
1 tespoon chopped parsley breadcrumbs (as much as the mixture will take)



1 Put the butter into a basin, cream well, add the egg, stir well. Now add the cleaned brains and continue to stir for five minutes. Salt, pepper and the finely chopped parsley are added and as many breadcrumbs to get a smooth mixture. Leave to stand for one and half hours. Now try the mixture and, if necessary, add some more breadcrumbs. You should be able to form Nockerln with the help of a tablespoon. Dip your spoon into clear soup, which should boil slowly. Drop the Nockerln into it, one by one. They are cooked for about five to eight minutes and are served as an entree on a bed of creamed spinach.
