Tiny Dumplings with Dill

4.8

(6)

If you love gnocchi or spaetzle, you’ll love these tiny dumplings known as galushkas, buoyed here with fresh dill. They are a breeze to make and so comforting with the veal's creamy paprika sauce. Sauté any leftovers in butter until the edges are browned and crisp.

Cooks' note:

Dumplings, without butter, can be made 1 day ahead and rinsed under cold water, then drained thoroughly. Toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and chill. Reheat in a shallow baking dish, covered with foil, in a 400°F oven for about 20 minutes. Toss with butter and season with salt and pepper.

  • Yield

    Makes 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons chopped dill
5 large eggs
1 1/4 cups water
4 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Equipment: a spaetzlemaker or a colander with 1/4-inch holes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring a 6-quart pot of salted water (2 teaspoon salt for 5 qt water) to a simmer.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk together flour, dill, 2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.

    Step 3

    Whisk together eggs and water in a bowl, then add to flour mixture and whisk until batter is smooth.

    Step 4

    Working over barely simmering water, force batter through spaetzlemaker (or through colander with a rubber spatula) into water and cook, stirring occasionally, until dumplings have risen to surface and are firm, 2 to 3 minutes.

    Step 5

    Drain dumplings in a colander, then return to warm pot. Toss with butter and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
