Description
Hungarian Dumplings, known as Nokedli or Galuska in Hungary, are the perfect side to serve with my Chicken Paprikash or other hearty stews. Easy to prepare with only 4 pantry ingredients, they’re rustic in appearance, but delicate in flavor. Nokedli are basically a small, lighter version of egg noodles!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided use
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon organic canola or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Bring around 3 quarts water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt.
- While waiting for the water to boil, make the batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Slowly stir in flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Batter should be sticky, but still a bit loose.
- Form dumplings by putting 1/3 to 1/2 cup batter through a dumpling maker (the large holes on a flat cheese grater, a colander with medium/large holes, or a slotted spoon will also work) directly into the boiling water. Cook for around 2 to 3 minutes. All of the dumplings should have floated to the top of the water.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove cooked dumplings from boiling water, place in a colander and rinse under cold water. Place cooked dumplings in a medium bowl and gently toss with the oil (to keep them from sticking together).
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately.
