4 cups bread crumbs
1 1/4 cubes butter
4 eggs
pinch of salt
1/2 cups sweet cream
1/8 teaspoon allspice
Melt butter and pour over bread crumbs; mix. Beat eggs, salt and allspice with fork. Add to the first mixture. Add cream and mix until it holds together. If dough doesn't hold together, add a few drops of milk. Form into walnut-sized balls. Drop into boiling chicken broth when you add the homemade noodles for Chicken Noodle Soup with Butterballs.
From the Heavenly Delights, Wiggins Community Church Cookbook 1993. Recipe by Mary Bernhardt
"Grandma" Mary is 99 this year! As a charter member of the church (1949), she has had perfect attendance at Sunday School and church for more years than we can count!! She always gives me a kiss and a hug and reminds me so much of my own grandma.
one of the MOST delicious things ever!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! OMG, those Butterballs look amazing. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeletedo they sell these anywhere
ReplyDeleteSince these are very special, I think you'd only find them at German church bazaars/bake sales. Our church sells them in the Fall during the home made noodle sale. The older ladies used to make them by the dozens to sell, but only one of the younger ladies (75ish) made them this past year. They are very easy to do and I half the recipe most of the time. Hope you'll try them! ♥♫
