Dumplings (Knedle)

Dumplings (Knedle)

Ingredients

• 2 eggs (at room temperature)

• 4 ounces soft butter (100 g)

• 4 ounces of cream of wheat or polenta (cornmeal)

• Salt to taste

 Method

1. Combine above ingredients into a smooth dough. Let dough stand for 30 minutes or longer.

2. When ready to make dumplings, bring to boil a pot of water. Scoop teaspoonfuls of the dough and drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Boil the dumplings for 10-15 minutes or until done. (The longer they boil, the firmer they will become.)

3. Alternatively, you can scoop the dumplings and boil directly in the soup stock, but then your soup will be starchy. It’s best to prepare dumplings separately and then add the cooked dumplings to the soup.
