Combine 200 g flour, 1 tbsp. oil, 1 egg, ½ tsp. salt, and a little water and knead to form the dough.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it sit for half an hour.

Soften the stale bread in milk.

Finely chop 1 small onion and sauté in 1 tbsp. butter until soft and translucent.

Mix the ground pork, ground beef, sautéed onion, mace, marjoram, softened bread (squeezed of excess milk), 1 egg, salt, pepper, and finely chopped parsley (reserve some for serving).

Use a pasta maker or rolling pin to roll out the dough into a long sheet.

Place a spoonful of filling into the middle of the dough and brush the edges with egg.

Fold along the edges, ensuring the filling is covered, and seal using the handle of a wooden spoon.

Cut into pieces using a pizza cutter.

Bring the beef broth to a low boil and simmer the Maultaschen until they rise to the top.

Slice the Spanish onions into fine rings and fry in 4 tbsp. butter until browned, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Maultaschen topped with fried onions and parsley.
