Question

Had them in Prague and have been trying to find a recipe since. Have had a lot of suggestions, but all using measurements such as cups. I am used to pounds and ounces or grammes and Kilo's - and have a mental block when it comes to anything else - DOH!
Can anyone help please. Thanks in advance. T2D

Answer 1

If you already have a recipe in "cups" you can enter into a website called www.allrecipes.com and it will convert it for you into grams. Also, I bet you could find a recipe for them on there and click the convert button so it will make more sense to you.....hth

*You do have to register with this website, which is free, and then submit the recipe to there website and it will be on there forever, but you will be given the opportunty to change the measurements.

Beat eggs, salt& milk in a large mixing bowl; add flour gradually.
Continue beating with a large spoon (the dough must be smooth& stiff enough to hold its shape).
Stir in bread cubes last.
Have a clean, wet towel ready.
Shape the dough with wet hands into an oblong, roll in a towel& drop into a large kettle of salted boiling water.
Boil, covered, for 45 minutes.
Remove the towel& slice the dumpling 1/2 inch thick (if not sliced immediately, the steam cannot escape& the dumplings will be soggy& hard).
Keep hot until ready to serve

Answer 3

Bread Dumplings
I found this recipe in a cookbook belonging to DH's grandmother: 60th anniversary Slovak-American Cookbook produced by the First Catholic Slovak Ladies Union in 1952. It tastes just like the bread dumplings we ate in Prague.

2 cups flour
3 slices bread, cubed
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup lukewarm water
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt


< 30 mins Breads
Low Fat Breads
Czech Breads
Silt flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
Add beaten egg.
Add the lukewarm water and mix well with wooden spoon.
Add bread.
Mix well and roll into oblong dumplings.
Place into boiling water, cover and cook about 20 minutes, stirring once.
(I just used two teaspoons to drop pieces of dough into the water without shaping them first, and it worked fine).
