Dumplings

Nokedli

INGRDIENTS:

3 Cups All Purpose Flour

3 TSP Salt

3 Eggs

1 1/2 Cups Water

DIRECTIONS:

1.Mix flour and salt in mixing bowl

2.Make well in center of flour and add eggs and 1 cup of water.

3.When water is boiling, mix ingredients with large spoon till well mixed

4.Spoon half dough mixture onto dumpling grater and quickly grate over boiling water.

5.Repeat and allow dumplings to boil until water begins to foam and dumplings begin to rise. Stir to keep water from over flowing allowing dumplings to rise/swell a few times. stir and lower heat it necessary to keep from overflowing. Should swell about 3 or four times before straining. 

6.Strain and rinse immediately with cold water.

7.Serve!!

  NOTE: The faster the dumplings get grated, the smaller they will be. It is better to reheat dumplings by running hot water over them in strainer (sieve) rather than placing them in the oven or microwave. 

Add half TSP salt and a dash
of grapeseed oil to boiling water.

Use flat wooden spoon to grate
dough through holes in dumpling
grater.

Stir dumplings once or twice
while grating to keep them from
clumping together.

The faster you grate, the smaller
the dumplings will be. I like them 
small.

Dumplings should swell like this
a few times. When you stir it,
it will settle down. Do NOT 
leave this unattended or you will
have a sticky mess all over your 
stove.

Cool Completely with cold running
water, using a spoon to stir the 
cold water throughout the dumplings.
If you leave center of dumplings hot,
they may clump together. 

Dumplings are best when they are 
first done. To reheat, just run them
under hot water in sieve.
