4 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
500gramsFlour (a generous lb)
½litreWater (a pint)
Salt to taste
3tablespoonsTo 4 tb clarified butter for baking
2tablespoonsClarified butter for topping
1Onion, chopped

Directions

From the Allgaeu area.

From grandmother's more thrifty times; rarely encountered today.

In a skillet, melt the clarified butter, then add the flour.

Gradually add enough water to obtain a viscous batter. Cook the batter in the skillet until the top is done. The bottom will form a crust, the so-called 'Schuepet'. In a separate skillet, brown the onion in the remaining clarified butter. Pour the onion and fat over the 'Saebrei'. This used to be served with a glass of milk.

Serves 4.
