Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Semolina
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 liter Broth (beef or vegetable)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and eggs until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the semolina, salt, and optional nutmeg, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the moisture.
Bring the broth to a gentle boil in a large pot over medium heat.
Using two teaspoons, shape the semolina mixture into oval dumplings. To do this, scoop the dough with one teaspoon and use the other teaspoon to smooth the top and slide the dumpling into the broth.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the dumplings gently for 15-20 minutes. Avoid boiling the broth vigorously, as this could cause the dumplings to break apart.
Test the dumplings by cutting one in half; it should be cooked through and light in texture.
Serve the dumplings in warm broth, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
