    Fertige Knödelmasse.
  • Form dumplings: Divide dough into 6-10 equal portions. Wet hands before forming each dumpling. Slightly press each portion together with your hands and then roll into a round shape.
  • Bring a large pot with about ⅔ water and a larger pinch of salt to a boil. The dumplings should have enough room to swim. Place the dumplings in the simmering water. Adjust the temperature so that the water is always lightly simmering. It should not boil vigorously and also not completely stop simmering. Depending on size, cook in salted water for about 12-15 minutes.
    Alternatively, steam in a steamer or steaming basket for 20-30 minutes depending on size.

Notizen

To ensure that the dumplings do not fall apart or become too firm, make a test dumpling. If it falls apart during cooking, incorporate more flour. If it becomes too firm, add more liquid butter.
