Dough: Mix a regular yeast dough and shape it into small circles, 4 1/2 to 6 inches in diameter. Then stretch these circles, from the center towards the edges so that the center is slightly thinner and the edge of the circle forms a slightly thicker rim. Finely chop the onion and chives, mix with the egg and sour cream. Stir in the nutmeg and salt. Fill the center of the `Waehe` with this mixture. Bake at moderate heat until yellow. Remove from oven, dot with butter, and serve piping hot. Serves 4. From: D`SCHWAEBISCH` KUCHE` by Aegidius Kolb and Leonhard Lidel, Allgaeuer Zeitungsverlag, Kempten. 1976.
