Instructions
HALUSHKI DUMPLINGS
-
Prepare ingredients for the recipe.
-
Place the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a little well in the middle. Place whisked eggs, water, and melted butter into it. Using a fork, work the ingredients together to form the dough. Finish up combining the ingredients by hand until you get a smooth, even texture.
-
Divide the dough into eight even pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a long string. Dice each string into small pieces.
- At this point, you can either freeze the raw dough for later use or move onto the next step to cook them.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the raw dumplings and boil them until they float to the top.
