Slovak Haluski

Heat the shortening in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Add cabbage, onions, seasonings, and water. Fry over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.

To make the dumplings: Combine flour and salt in mixing bowl. Add eggs and melted butter. Stir in enough milk or water to form a heavy but not stiff dough. Wet a dinner plate and place dough on it. Flatten it out.

Have ready, boiling salted water. With a teaspoon, cut off pieces of dough (about 1/2 teaspoon) into boiling water. Boil for about 6 to 8 minutes. They will float to the top of the water when done. Remove with slotted spoon and place in a colander. Rinse with cool water. When it's all done, mix the dumplings in with the cabbage and serve hot.
