Hungarian Cottage Cheese Dumplings in Milk

Thin egg dough squares filled with sweet spiced cottage cheese and gently poached in milk.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Beat two eggs with water and pinch of salt; add flour gradually to a stiff dough. Knead smooth, cover and rest 20 minutes, then roll as thin as practical and cut 7.5 cm squares.

  2. Step 2

    Mix drained cottage cheese, butter, two beaten eggs, filling sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Put a modest spoonful in each square and seal edges firmly.

  3. Step 3

    Heat milk gently with a pinch of salt and sugar. Poach dumplings in batches at a gentle simmer until dough and egg filling are fully cooked, about 8–10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Serve warm in shallow bowls with some sweet poaching milk as the sauce.
