kasknopfle (tiny cheese dumplings) from Liechtenstein

300g (2 cups) Flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
15ml (1tablespoon) water
150g mixed finely grated Gruyere and Emmental cheese
sour cream

It lists an onion and says to garnish with toasted onion, but doesn't give directions for toasting. Apparently the toasting involves sauteing chopped onions and then putting the onion on a baking sheet. I just bought minced, dried onion.

Place flour in a bowl and mix in salt. Mix eggs and water separately. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture until bubbles rise in batter. ( I never saw bubbles so just put all the dry ingredients in). The batter is correct consistency when thick. Cover with a cloth and let stand 30 min. Bring salted water to boil. Drop small bits of batter into simmering water (make sure they are small, this is a very dense dough). When dumpling floats to the surface , remove with slotted spoon. Place them on a plate and mix with grated cheese. (I had to put them in sour cream first to get the cheese to stick). Garnish with toasted onions, serve with applesauce.


Enjoy
