Ingredients

  • 3 c all purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • whole milk
  • 2 c sauerkraut
  • 1 stick BUTTER
  • 1 med onion chopped

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, eggs and milk. Stir until dough has pulled together, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. If it sticks, add a little oil to your hands. Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Cook sauerkraut in a skillet over medium heat in melted butter until caramel in color. Remove from heat, and let cool.

  4. Divide the dough into 2 portions. Lightly oil your work surface, and roll out the dough into thin sheets about 8 by 16 inches. Spread kraut mixture evenly over the sheets of dough and spread bits of butter onto it. Roll sheets up widthwise. Cut slices about 2 inches wide, and place them flat and close together in the baking dish.

  5. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until dough is lightly browned, and liquid has evaporated.
