CHEESE NOODLES†

(PINZGAUER KASNOCKEN)

2          cups flour

1/4-1/2  teaspoon salt

1          egg

1          cup water

2          tablespoons butter or margarine

    1/2   cup onion (chopped)

8          oz. Butterkäse (shredded)

Place the flour, salt, egg and water in a large bowl.  Stir and beat with a wooden spoon until the batter no longer sticks to the side of the bowl.  Bring a large pot of water to boil.  Place 2 tablespoons of batter on a board and using a knife scrape thin slices of the batter into the boiling water.  Once the batter is finished the noodles will rise to the top of the pot.  Transfer them with a slotted spoon to a platter and keep them warm in the oven.  Repeat these steps until all the batter is used.  Melt the butter or margarine in a large frying pan, add onions and fry for 3 minutes.  Add the noodles, stir well and sauté 3-4 minutes.  Turn down the heat and sprinkle cheese over the top making sure all the noodles are covered.  Cook until all the cheese is melted (approximately 3-5 minutes).  Serve with salad and bread.
