Krepples Recipe

[whatevergrows]

My hubby has been talking about his great Grandma Mary's Krepples. I have don't know they are. Maybe a deep fried bread? Every so often he says, "oh that smells like Krepples".

 

Would any of you have any idea. Would any of you have a recipe?

I found two different opinions on Krepples.

Not to worry Dave....You're in good company. My Dad had grown up during the depression in an already poor family and perhaps it was nostalgia, but my childhood was filled with weird meats that he had eaten then because they were virtually free. Some of those I still like myself and one of the things known as "Scrapple" by the Pennsylvania Dutch still tops my list of favorite breakfast meats(?). Basically, it's the all the meat boiled off the head of a hog and ground then mixed with cornmeal and put in a loaf. You then slice it and fry it. Here in east Ohio, we call it "Krepples" but it's also affectionately called "Pig Lips."

 

 

This one is a bread.

There is also kreple, which is the singular of kreplach.

 

Meat kreplach is often made with cooked stewing hen, fried onions, and cooked potato, ground up together. The filling is placed in dough, similar to tortellini, and served in chicken soup.

We make Krepples.  Which is a soup broth with hand made pasta and hamburger inside.  It’s almost like a ravioli but instead of pasta sauce or Alfredo, they are cooked in noodle soup broth and eaten as a soup.
