About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Use dry, crumbly farmer's cheese; wet cheese needs extra flour and makes heavy dumplings.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Mash cheese with eggs, salt and sugar; add flour until a soft dough forms.

  2. 02

    Roll into 1-inch ropes on a floured board, flatten slightly and cut diagonally.

  3. 03

    Boil in salted water; 2 minutes after they float, remove.

  4. 04

    Toss in butter browned with breadcrumbs and serve with cinnamon sugar or sour cream.
