Egg Dumplings

Sift and measure the flour.

Cut the butter into the flour. Break the egg into a measuring cup, then add enough water to come up to the 3/4 cup line.

Add to the flour; mix lightly with a fork. Drop by tablespoonfuls over boiling meat and broth or into well-greased steamer placed over boiling water.

Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until dumplings are tender.
