Here’s a simple recipe for Semolina Dumplings (a comforting dish popular in European and Mediterranean cuisines) 🍲✨. These dumplings are soft, light, and perfect for soups or stews.
🍽️ Semolina Dumplings (German-Style / Sweet or Savory)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Optional: Nutmeg or Sugar (for sweet versions)
Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the batter
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and melted butter.
- Gradually stir in semolina and flour until a thick but soft batter forms.
2️⃣ Rest the mixture
- Let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes so the semolina swells slightly.
3️⃣ Form dumplings
- Using a spoon or your hands, form small dumplings (about 1–2 inches in diameter).
4️⃣ Cook the dumplings
- Bring a pot of salted water or simmering soup/stock to a gentle boil.
- Drop dumplings in and simmer 8–10 minutes until they float and are cooked through.
5️⃣ Serve
- Savory: Serve in soups, stews, or with gravy.
- Sweet: Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar, cocoa, or drizzle with honey and butter.
⭐ Tips
- For fluffier dumplings, whip egg whites separately and fold in before cooking.
- Can be made ahead and frozen, then reheated in soup or broth.
- Adjust nutmeg or sugar depending on whether you want sweet or savory dumplings.
If you want, I can give a super-easy 5-minute microwave version of semolina dumplings that works as a quick side or dessert.
