Halushky Or Knedliki - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup uncooked farina
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup cold butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk
6 -8 quarts salt water
TOPPING
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup butter
sour cream (optional)

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the flour, farina, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the butter in small pieces. Crumble the flour mixture with your fingertips to form a coarse meal.
Add the eggs and milk. Stir until the batter is smooth.
Bring the salted water to a boil. Using two tablespoons, drop the batter into the boiling water. Cover, and simmer for 8 minutes. Cook 6 to 8 at a time.
Remove cooked dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon and place them in a buttered ovenproof dish. Keep warm in a slow 250\u00b0F oven until all the dumplings and the topping are done.
To prepare the topping, melt the butter in a skillet. Saute the sliced onions until they are light brown and starting to crisp. Remove from heat.
Cover the dumplings with the fried onions. Serve accompanied by a bowl of sour cream, if you wish. Yield: About 12 to 15 dumplings.
Leftover halushky are delicious fried in butter or bacon fat.
