Bohemian Raised Dumplings image

I ate these as a child and thought that all dumplings were raised like a yeast dough. But learned otherwise. These are almost a cross between a bread and a bagel. But they were used instead of a pasta or bread with our meals.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all your ingredients are measured, prepped, and ready to use. This will streamline the cooking process.
  • Use Cold Butter: For the dumpling dough, use cold butter. This will prevent the dough from becoming too soft and sticky.
  • Work the Dough Quickly: When making the dumpling dough, work it quickly to avoid overworking it. Overworking the dough can make it tough.
  • Chill the Dough: After making the dumpling dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes. This will make it easier to work with and prevent the dumplings from sticking together.
  • Use a Large Pot: When cooking the dumplings, use a large pot to prevent overcrowding. Overcrowding can cause the dumplings to stick together and cook unevenly.
  • Do Not Stir the Dumplings: While the dumplings are cooking, do not stir them. Stirring can break up the dumplings and make them mushy.
  • Use a Slotted Spoon: When removing the dumplings from the pot, use a slotted spoon to drain any excess water.
