Polish Drop Noodles {Kluski Kładzione}
This is yet another dinner home run in my kitchen. My family loves a simple meal of dumplings and a meat sauce and this couldn’t get any simpler. Drop noodles – Kluski kładzione [cloo-ski kwa-dzio-neh] are quickly made of flour, egg and water mixture without any kneading. Most often we eat them as a starch with dinner, but sometimes I drop them straight into a big pot of chicken soup {rosół} on Sunday. They are soft and doughy and they remind me of my childhood home. It’s funny how one can be transported back in time by sense of taste. I was just sitting in my grandma’s kitchen eating them just as soon as they came out of the pot. Love those memories and this is why I go back to cooking traditional dishes.
Polish Drop Noodles {Kluski Kładzione}
Ingredients
- 3 c / 375 g of all-purpose flour
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 ¼ c / 300 ml of water
- Splash of oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, beat eggs to mix yolks with whites. Place flour in a large mixing bowl, add eggs and salt. Slowly start adding water and beat on low until blended well.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to boil. Add a couple of tablespoons of salt and a splash of oil to the water.
With a metal spoon, scoop dumplings the size of a walnut and drop into the boiling water by submerging the spoon in the water. Do it in three batches, not to overcrowd the pot. Once dumplings are dropped, with a wooden spoon gently stir the water to make sure dumplings aren't sticking together.
Turn water to low simmer and boil for 3-4 minutes from the moment they float to the top.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a colander. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of oil to prevent from sticking if not serving right away.
Notes
To reheat, sauté in butter or drop into simmering water for 1 minute.
Serve these drop noodles with your favorite meat stew (recipe for my pork stew here, my recipe for stewed chicken here, recipe for my beef stew here) a mushroom sauce (my recipe here) or favorite soup (browse the SOUPS section of my RECIPE INDEX for many Polish soup recipes).
Smacznego!
