Traditional Recipe

  • 400 g flour
  • 3 eggs Thessy’s grandmother always says 1 egg per person
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 250 ml milk
  • 300 g thinly sliced bacon
  • some butter

Additional ingredients for the Kniddel-trio:

  • 3 tablespoons beetroot juice or
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes or
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds or
  • dried tomatoes chopped
  • edible flowers f.ex. cornflowers, daisies, poppies, etc.

Anleitungen

  • Sieve the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the flour and add the eggs and a teaspoon of salt.
  • Add the milk little by little and keep mixing until you get a sticky dough.
  • Add an additional ingredient to get a special flavour. The dough should stick to the spoon when you pull the spoon out.
  • In a large pot, bring salted water to boil. With two tablespoons, form little dumplings and throw them into the pot.
  • While the Kniddelen are cooking, fry some bacon in a pan and add some butter in the end to make a ‘sauce’. The Kniddelen are ready when they are floating on the surface.
  • When all the Kniddelen are ready, drain them briefly and pour some bacon butter over the Kniddelen.

Notizen

Thessy loves to make her own applesauce. Peel 2 apples and cut them into small pieces. Combine apples, 2 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan and simmer it. Cook until apples soften. Transfer mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon juice for the special flavour. 
Enjoy!
