“LAZY” DUMPLINGS [KLUSKI LENIWE]

 The taste of these dumplings reminds me of childhood. Of course, it was my mother and grandmother who made the best ones! This particular recipe is taken from the beautiful blog Kwestia Smaku. I used the idea to serve them with Parmesan and pepper, which is a bit of a relief after having eaten the sweet version for so many years. :) The recipe is embarrassingly simple and the dumplings themselves – delicious. I can only add that I used to make them from cooked potatoes, but this time I decided to use the cheese only. The latter technique makes the dumplings more light and fluffy.

I invite you to try them out! :)

 ***recipe***

370 g creamy curd cheese
2 eggs
4 heaped tablespoons of wheaten flour
½ spoon of salt
some more flour to add when kneading

***

Use the pastry board to carefully mash the cheese with the yolks. Add beaten egg whites and salt. Sift the flour and add, mixing delicately the dough. Knead gently, adding some more flour, so as to form a soft dough. Form it into a roll and chop into pieces. Boil some water with salt in a large saucepan. Put the dumplings on the boiling water and cook until they come afloat and then for ca. four minutes. Add some butter, sprinkle on top with some freshly ground pepper and Parmesan. Alternatively, for the sweet version try them with sugar, cinnamon, breadcrumbs or butter, whatever suits you better.

Bon appétit!
