Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 eggs (medium Germany, large US)
2 tablespoons smetana/ Greek yogurt/sour cream
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
180 g all-purpose flour (+ or - 1 tablespoon 6.5 oz/ 1 ½ cups (Note 1))

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and the sour cream/ yogurt/ smetana with a fork.
  • Add the salt and slowly start adding the flour while beating with the fork and incorporating the flour until smooth.
  • Adjust batter: Depending on the size of your eggs, you might need one extra tablespoon of flour. Or 1/2 - 1 tablespoon less if your eggs are small. See the pictures; that is the batter consistency that you should achieve. The batter should be relatively thick and slowly fall off the fork.
  • Boil water: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add about ½ tablespoon salt to the boiling water. Turn the heat down and let it come to a simmer.
  • Cook nokedli: Add the nokedli to the water using a teaspoon, which should only be half full with batter. Let the nokedli simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Drain well.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large pot filled with salted boiling water

Steps:

  • Place large pot filled with salted water and bring to boil.
  • Combine eggs, salt, and water, beating well with whisk.
  • Add flour, a little at a time.
  • Add only enough flour to make a soft, sticky dough.
  • Let mixture rest for about 10 mins.
  • Beat mixture again.
  • Using the side of a teaspoon, spoon small amount of dough into boiling water.
  • Dipping the spoon in the hot water will remove the dough from the spoon (if you have a spaetzel maker, that makes is easier as you want very small noodles).
  • The noodles are done when they float to the top.
  • Remove from water with large slotted spoon, and place in colander.
  • Rinse with cold water.
  • You may want to make the dumplings in 2 or 3 batches so they dont overcook.
  • Serve with chicken paprikas.
  • The dumplings are also nice added to a stew.
  • You can heat the dumplings in a frying pan with melted butter.
  • Do not let the dumplings get too brown or crisp.

### Tips:
  • Use a large, wide pot to cook the nokedli. This will help to ensure that the dumplings cook evenly.
  • Bring the water to a full boil before adding the nokedli. This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking together.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot with nokedli. Add them in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the nokedli until they float to the top of the water. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  • Drain the nokedli well before serving. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Nokedli can be served immediately or reheated later. To reheat, simply place the dumplings in a single layer in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
### Conclusion: Nokedli are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dinner to a special holiday meal. With a little practice, you can easily make nokedli at home. So next time you are looking for something new and exciting to try, give nokedli a try. You won't regret it!
