Snitz & Knepp
Old favorite from an Amish cooking book.
Snitz:
1 ham hock 1.5 cups dried apples (or chopped fresh apples if you don't have the former) 2 Tbsp brown sugar
Place ham hock in heavy saucepan. Cover with 2 quarts water and boil 2 hours. Add apples and brown sugar. Add an additional 1.5 quarts water and cook until apples are soft. Add knepp.
Knepp:
2 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 1 egg, beaten 2 Tbsp melted butter 1/3-½ cup milk
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add beaten egg, butter, and milk. Use only enough milk to make a sticky dough that will drop easily off a spoon. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling ham and apple mixture. Cover tightly and boil for 15 minutes.
