Reddig Family Recipe for Kase Knoephla/Knephla ( Cheese Buttons) Anyone who has spent more than 10 minutes on this forum knows that I may have mentioned once or twice ( ) that my ancestors originated in Alsace and the Black Forest area of Germany, then migrated to Ukraine in the Russian Empire for a few generations, then finally emigrated to the USA - Dunn County, North Dakota, to be specific. As such, they (and I) are members of a group called "Germans from Russia), and have a somewhat unique food culture of their own; a melding of the foodways from the lands in which they lived and traveled. You can, of course, read more about the Germans From Russia, here: http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/germans-from-russia-in-the-dakotas_topic4336.html My father's sister married a man with a very similar German-from-Russia background, and this is his mother's recipe for Kase Knoephla (also spelled Knepfla, among many other variations); these are also known among Germans-from-Russia descendants as "Cheese Buttons." My cousin, Penny, recently sent this recipe to me, and I will be giving it a go, after Lent; however, I did want to share it with you all in the event that anyone might want to give it a try.
Also, here are some notes that my cousin, Penny, included in her email:
As mentioned above, I’ll be trying them, and soon; my “must-try” recipe list is starting to get pretty long, but due to the family connection, these will be tried as soon as possible. I am hoping to learn a bit more about the "dry" cottage cheese. I have absolutely no experience with it, but I have seen it in one grocery store in Lewistown, Montana, so I know it exists. I am going to try and get my hands on some when I try this; if I am unable to get some, I’ll look at possible substitutions. If anyone wants to try this, I'd be really interested in how it goes!
