Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, mixing them thoroughly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and water together until well-blended.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir the components together until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Step 4
If desired, add black pepper to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 5
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Using a nokedli maker or a large holed colander, press portions of the dough into the simmering water. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Step 7
Allow the dumplings to cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked through.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the water and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 9
Transfer the rinsed nokedli to a bowl and toss with melted unsalted butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Step 10
Serve your low sodium nokedli as a delightful side dish to complement any main course, particularly with traditional Hungarian entrées.
