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.

POTATO DUMPLINGS AND CABBAGE / HUNGARIAN HALUSKA
My Grandmother used to make this frequently. My Dad was reminiscing and I made this for his Birthday recently. It is comfort food to the Max! Very inexpensive to make, filling, and even those who do not like cabbage love it. Traditional Huluska can also be made with cottage cheese instead of cabbage. I have to make it again for...

Steps:
- 1. For the cabbage: shred the cabbage very fine. I use my food processor with the shredder attachment. If you prefer, you can just dice, slice, how ever you like.
- 2. Add oil to a large frying pan. Add the butter. Get pan heated through, and add your shredded cabbage and onion. You will want to saute the cabbage and onion until it browns. Having the heat on medium, as you do not want to burn it, only allow it to brown. (Dad said I could brown mine a bit more, as you can see in the pictures. Next time I will give it a bit more time to brown.) It caramelizes and packs maximum flavor! IF YOU ARE USING COTTAGE CHEESE: Omit the cabbge and add 1 pound of cottage cheese to the dumplings, warming it through.
- 3. FOR THE DUMPLINGS: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Combine flour,eggs, salt and pepper,and water. Mix well. Add the shredded potato and mix well. It is a wet dough. Scrape this dough with a spoon into the boiling water. Make sure you dip the spoon into the boiling water. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the spoon. The dumplings will float to the top when they are done.
- 4. Drain the dumplings and add to the caramelized cabbage and onions. Stir to combine and to reheat.

HALUSKI KAPUSTO (SLOVAK CABBAGE & DUMPLINGS) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:
- Make your dough by grating your potatoes on the smallest shredding option on your cheese grater (I have actually used mashed potatoes as a base also). Squeeze the excess water out and put the shreddings into a mixing bowl. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, and milk until a dough forms, adding more flour if necessary to achieve a workable consistency. Divide the dough into 6 sections. On a flour dusted surface, roll out each dough section into a long rope or snake. Slice the snakes into 1/4 inch wide "pillows" or dough ball sections. Press with tines of a fork into each dumpling (helps hold the sauce). Set aside the cut dumplings until ready to cook. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once melted, increase the heat to medium high and saute the onions and cabbage in the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches boil the potato dumplings for approx. 3 minutes each batch. (You can tell they are ready when they float; cook 1 more minute once floating). Remove from the water with a slotted spoon. The cooked dumplings can be combined directly with the cooked cabbage mixture. Serve with mustard!

Steps:
- Mix the salt and cabbage together and let stand 30 minutes. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Heat the butter in a deep skillet. Add the onions, cabbage, sugar and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until cabbage is browned, about 45 minutes. Add the noodles and toss to blend thoroughly.
Tips:
- To make the dumplings, use a light hand when mixing the dough. Overworking the dough will make the dumplings tough.
- If the cabbage is too sour, rinse it with cold water before using.
- Be sure to brown the dumplings before adding them to the cabbage. This will give them a nice flavor and texture.
- If you don't have any sour cream on hand, you can use plain yogurt instead.
- Serve the cabbage and dumplings with a side of bread or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Hungarian cabbage and dumplings is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The cabbage is braised until it is tender and sweet, and the dumplings are light and fluffy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
