Käsknöpfle (Cheese Dumplings)

Ingredients

• •1 1/4 pounds flour
• •1 egg
• •2 pinches salt
• •Water as needed
• •Swiss Cheese
• •Onions

Directions

1. 1Put flour, egg and salt in a bowl. Add milk. Mix and add water as needed so that the dough is not getting too tough nor should it be soft. The dough requires a certain consistency so that the knöpfle can be properly processed by the knöpfle maker. Put the knöpfle maker on top of a pot of boiling water and proceed to make one batch. Let the knöpfle boil up about a minute and scoop them into a bowl, keep them warm, preferably in the oven.
2. 2Repeat until you have used all the dough.
3. 3Grate Swiss cheese, Gruyere or any other sharp cheese as a substitute. Gently toss the knöpfle with the cheese.
4. 4Brown onions and spread on top of knöpfle which are now ready to be served. Serve with potato salad and a glass of red or white wine.
