- Preparation time: 1 hour
- Cooking time: 40 min
- Servings: for 10 dumplings
- Difficulty: Medium
Ingredients
- - 100 g of butter
- - 120 g of wheat flour
- - 100 g of grated Gruyère cheese
- - 3 fresh eggs
- - A pinch of grated nutmeg (to taste)
Preparation
1. Start by heating a cup of water with the butter and a bit of salt to season it well.
2. Once the butter is completely melted, add the flour and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent it from sticking.
3. Remove from heat, then incorporate the grated Gruyère, followed by the eggs and nutmeg once the mixture is warm.
4. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into logs and place them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This will help the dumplings hold their shape.
5. Finally, carefully place the dumplings in a large pot and cook them on very low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, submerged in a sauce of your choice. Make sure the sauce almost completely covers the dumplings.
