Ingredients

• 100 grams Semolina flour (farina)
• 240 milliliters Milk
• 30 grams Butter
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2000 milliliters Water or broth (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, butter, salt, and ground nutmeg. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter has melted and the mixture begins to gently simmer.

Step 2

Gradually add the semolina flour to the milk mixture while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Once slightly cooled, add the egg to the semolina mixture. Stir quickly and thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and cohesive.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of water or broth to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer.

Step 6

Using two teaspoons, scoop small portions of the semolina mixture and shape them into oval dumplings. Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering water or broth.

Step 7

Cook the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and feel firm to the touch.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the water or broth and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 9

Serve the dumplings warm as a side dish, in soups, or with your choice of sauce or gravy.
