For the curd dumplings, knead the ingredients with the dough hook of the food processor to a soft, compact dough and let rest in the icebox for about 1 hour. If the dough is sticky, work in some more flour.
Then form into a roll, cut off pieces, form small dumplings and roll in flour. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and put in the dumplings. Simmer until they have all risen to the surface. Then turn off the heat and let steep for another 8 minutes with the lid on. Remove the curd dumplings from the water with a ladle and keep warm.
Preparation Tip:
The curd dumplings go well with stewed plums or applesauce. You can also roll them in breadcrumbs, poppy seeds or grated nuts. For a spicy version, eat them with tomato sauce, or with browned butter and Parmesan cheese.
