My dad always made Kapànì when we were little. I asked someone who was Czech the spelling on facebook. The way my dad said it sounds like "kup-on-ey"??
In looking more online Kapànì basically means noodle batter.
Ingredients
Soup
-onions
-carrots
-celery
-cooked chicken or stew meat
-stock
Drop Noodles
2-2.5c flour
1/2t salt
2-3 eggs
1/2c water or milk??
1t oil
Soup
- Saute onions, carrots and celery in a little oil.
- Add cooked chicken or fry chicken or stew meat in same pot
- Add stock and water and/or bullion
- I normally add a little onion powder, garlic powder, Montreal steak seasoning (because I like it), sometimes a little sage or celery salt. Kind of whatever floats my boat.
-while soup is coming to a boil make the drop noodle.
Drop Noodles.
-Mix together flour, salt, eggs, liquid and oil. Add liquid or flour until it is kind of like a thick pancake batter. Thicker will make bigger thicker noodles and thinner will make noodle fragments. I don't really know the amounts other than I normal start with 2+cups of flour, 2-4 eggs, 1//2t salt and a splash of oil. Then I add liquid to get to a good consistency to drop the noodles.
-When soup is boiling drop noodle mixture with a fork or dribble in thinly. Let boil till noodles are done (couple of minutes).
