How To Make easy egg dumplings

  • 1
    Add the flour, melted butter, 3 eggs and a pinch of salt into a large pot and mix well with the milk. Mix until the batter is smooth and not thick; add more milk if necessary.

    In a large pot bring salted water to boil. Using a spaezle slicer, let the batter drip directly into the boiling water or the dumplings may stick together.
  • 3
    As soon as the dumplings float to the top, drain them and rinse them in cold water. Drizzle a few drops of oil over the dumplings and stir well to prevent sticking.
  • 4
    Put the remaining butter in a pan to melt then toss the dumplings in the butter.
  • 5
    Season the 4 eggs with salt, pepper and nutmeg, mixing well. Pour the eggs over the dumplings and cook for two minutes only.
  • 6
    Serve the egg dumplings garnished with the chives.
