My uncle used to make these and we would eat them in warm milk. Thank you so much for the recipe, I've been thinking about these for awhile.

 Donalda (Kansas) says:
This is so similar to pierogi that my grandma made with sauerkraut. My sister shared a quick version of it and calls it Polish spaghetti - noodles, sauerkraut, onions and sausage if you want. I call it delicious and quick pierogi.

 Sue Thomson (New Zealand) says:
My mother-in-law in Melbourne used to make kluskies, the Polish way. Cut the dough into circles, mix sauerkraut, little onion, pork mince, left over cooked carrots, peas, whatever, add a spoonful to each dough round, pinch and crimp the edges together to seal, add to salted boiling water, when they float they are cooked. drain, add oil to stop sticking. Refrigerate. Take out when required, cook carefully in butter or oil. Brilliant with Maggi seasoning sauce sprinkled over top.

Sounds very much like the dough I use for pyrogies and pasta.

Do you think it would be possible to take the drying process to another level by drying these out fully in a dehydrator? My family has Hungarian heritage and galushka was usually served in various ways. But, I've always loved the kluski in soups. Having spent the last 14 years in England I am missing it so much. England has NO idea about the rich heritage of noodles!

This was our favorite dish when i was younger in Poland. There is so many ways to serve Kluski. My favor was rolled to about 1/2-inch and cut on angle, boiled in water and served with Vanilla and Truffle cream over them. Sprinkled with Cinnamon for amazing aroma and taste. One day I have to wright those recipes. Our traditional meals ware created with lots of tastes using what they had during those times.

Memories of my grandmother making her famous chicken soup. (chanena)
Not sure if that is how you spell it.
So, Im making chicken soup and craving Batches (grandmas) kluski.
She did exactly as this recipe states. However, She just dropped the noodles in boiling salted water till they raised to the top.
Drained and poured chicken soup on top!
Her best soups were beet soup and potatoe soup (she could make soup from almost anything)
HOW I MISS ALL MY AUNTS AND UNCLES. AND GRANDMAS!
KEEP THE POLISH TRADITIONS ALIVE AND WELL!

My grandma and mom used flour, egg, and milk and mixed it to the oatmeal consistency and scraped it off a plate into boiling water. Good for chicken soup, hot milk soup, and duck's blood soup. so good.

 Henya (Texas) says:
Kluski was made by my mom but we would melt butter, add fried bacon and scramble some eggs, when the eggs were just about cooked we would add the kluski and mix it all together. It is a great side dish with a meat or just all by itself.

 Leslie (United States) says:
I make kluski the drop in boiling water way. Then strain and top with burnt butter with a heaping tablespoon of plain bread crumbs in the burnt butter. Usually serve with pork.

 Barbara E. (North Carolina) says:
My Babchi would make Kluskis for me all the time. I have read many many recipes and have never came across one the way I was served them. My Babchi would drop them into boiling water by the teaspoon full. Then she would fry them lightly in butter or margarine. After that, she would serve them over cottage cheese. Combining it with the melted butter was delicious. I have never seen another recipe like this. I would be interested to see if anyone else has ever eaten them like this. Enjoy if you care to try them. They really are delicious.

 Lisa Conjerti-Panek (New York) says:
I made these with my chicken soup a week ago, making again now! My husband was so happy, said they tasted just like his Polish grandmother's! He said we're never buying noodles for soup ever again! Lucky for me they were easy to make, and they are truly worth the little extra effort!

 Brenda (Michigan) says:
Once the dough is rolled thin, sprinkle a generous amount of flour across the surface. Roll it into a log and then cut it into your desired noodle width. Toss them gently to reveal the noodles. People that mention it being dropped by teaspoon into boiling water are actually referring to dumplings.

 Leela (United States) says:
Thank you all for bringing back wonderful memories of my grandmother in the kitchen. There is nothing so sweet! She also made a savory strudel dish with pot roast. Does anyone know a recipe?

 James Lindeman (Mississippi) says:
We have always made our Kluski with ground up Potato (in a meat grinder).
Then with the flour egg and salt and pepper and then drop into boiling water to make round dumplings. Love these in chicken soup. Also great fried with onion.
