5. STEP 5

   

   Roll out the pieces of dough into flat cakes with a rolling pin. Place a small amount of filling on them. Make the dumplings in the classic way: fold them in half, pinch the edges together like dumplings and fasten the two ends together with a circle.

   Place a saucepan with plenty of water on the fire. When the water boils, salt it and add the first batch of dumplings. Stir and cook them over low heat after floating for 5 minutes. You can also add dry seasonings (for example, Italian herbs) or bay leaves to the water.

   Remove the finished dumplings to a plate with a slotted spoon and brush with butter. Brew the next batch.

You can also drain the dumplings in a colander and let them cool a little so they don’t stick together.
