Slovak Egg Dumplings
"We always made this to go with chicken pakrikash. It is very easy and it does taste good. We never had a recipe but I just measured the ingredients i used the last time I made the dumplings. I have my mother's dumpling maker. You can also use the back of a spoon (we used to use a tablespoon), Place the dough on a dinner plate, dip the back of the spoon in boiling water and push the dough in the boiling water. Keep dipping the spoon in boiling water as the spoon cools."

My Grandmother made this for us all the time but she used to use a pink sauce. Are you familiar with the sauce? -
Hi Jane, I am trying to make “heavy” dumplings like my grandfather did. He was from Czechoslovakia and he called them “sinkers”. They were not light and fluffy..but they were amazing. I am going to try your recipe, but do I cover the dumplings for 3 mins? Thanks!

Are used to watch my grandmother make these dumplings. By dipping the batter from a measuring cup into the boiling chicken soup. I've tried for 50 years to find out the ingredients she used and the method that I saw her use. All I found was a disappointment so far. This is exactly what I witnessed during my childhood. It is ridiculously simple, to my surprise. My grandma's family was from Slovakia and emigrated to to Youngstown Ohio. I learned so many Slovakian recipes that were delicious to me and my family and I have become part of our permanent repertoire. -
Delicious! Just like mom used to make. I did need a little more water for consistency I prefer, but plopped these into chicken soup and YUM!!!

I think I was a little confused as to how to push the dough into the water with the spoons, but then I figured it out! I used 2 spoons, one slotted and the other regular- and I pushed the dough with the regular spoon through the slotted spoon, and voila! little dough dumplings! Put them into chicken soup, they were delicious little bites!!
