Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instruction

  • Combine the eggs, sour cream and seasonings in a medium bowl using a whisk.
  • Continue whisking until the mixture is starting to form gentle ribbons on the whisk and everything is incorporated.
  • While continuing to whisk, add in the flour slowly, adding more or less as needed.
  • Continue to add it until the consistency is like an especially thick and gloopy pancake batter.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to boil in a medium saucepan.
  • Dip a tablespoon into the boiling water to heat it up and coat it, and then scrape a tablespoon full of batter into the hot spoon, then drop the mixture into the boiling water, using another spoon to scrape it off. Continue until the batter is done.
  • Cook the dumplings in the water until they are done to your liking, at least 5 minutes, but up to 10 depending on how chewy you want them.
  • Once the entire batch is cooked, drain them thoroughly and add back into the still warm saucepan.
  • Add in about a tablespoon of butter and melt it, coating the dumplings evenly, seasoning them liberally with more salt and pepper.
  • Serve the dumplings as part of a traditional Hungarian dish, like goulash.
