I remember my Mom making these often. I loved them then and still do! I make these cakes when I have leftover cottage cheese when making perogies. The recipe is in the Mennonite Treasury, must be the one my Mom used.

Add flour and salt. Stir till well combined. Drop from spoon onto hot greased pan. Cook…

We have a restaurant here in the Fraser Valley that serves a great farmer sausage soup...using ground smoked sausage.

For those of you who will look at this and recognize it as something that Oma made, I wish I could add a scratch and sniff option to take you right into her kitchen. My Mennonite mother-in-law raised and fed 9 kids plus extras that came to the table. She did all the cooking with no recipe books; everything by memory. I’m sure that often she had to improvise and make do with whatever she had on hand, sometimes coming up with new recipes that way. One of my favorite things she made, when I…

When I was growing up my mom always called this Klissen. . with two little dots on top of the "ss's" in German it was pronounced Kly - sen. However. . .other people called it Kielke. . pronounced Cheel - chya. I still give my mom full credit for the capture of the cutest boy in school.. .(for me) with this recipe. I invited him over for Klissen once. . .and when she realized how much he loved them. . .the noodles were made quite regularly. My mom was not a fancy cook, but Terry still smiles…
