The ingredients for Farina Dumplings are:

1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cream of wheat (not instant) or farina
1/4 cup egg beaters
salt to taste (approx. 1/4 teaspoon)
about a third cup water

Here is how you make Farina Dumplings:

Set a stock pot to boil.Meantime mix the flour, cream of wheat and salt till blended. Beat one egg and add to the mixture and mix. This will be a lumpy, thick batter. Slowly add the water until you have a smoother, but still somewhat thick consistency.Once the water is boiling, using an oval soup spoon, spoon up about half a spoonful and drop into the boiling water, making sure not to drop any directly on top of each other and dipping the spoon into the water after each one (this helps with the release). As they cook they will begin to rise and float, allow them to boil about 5 minutes, the last couple may need a nudge from the spoon to rise and float.Drain in a strainer and serve.These go well with pork roasted with sauerkraut and apples.I got approx. 15 dumplings using these amounts. A serving is approx. 7 or 8 dumplings.These can be refrigerated and reheated.Mom used to make these for the entire family - she'd use more flour, farina and water, but still used only one egg. The farina to flour ratio is approx. 1:2, she'd add the water slowly until it was the correct consistency.Just thought I'd add this note: I tried to make them with whole wheat flour, which made them a little denser. Somethings are better left unchanged!Anyone coming back to this - I've switched 1 egg for 1/4 cup egg beaters - less calories - I don't buy whole eggs any more living by myself.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CALIDREAMER76.
