How to make it
Steps in our own plain words.
-
Let butter.
-
Do it to come.
-
Do it to room temperature before beating in bowl until creamed.
-
Season with salt and a little, delicate pinch of nutmeg.
-
Add in the egg.
-
Stir vigorously.
-
Sprinkle the semolina over this.
-
Mix it in fully until the surface is smooth.
-
Cover with saran wrap.
-
Leave to rest for 15 – 20 minutes.
-
Use two spoons, dipped regularly in hot water throughout.
-
Do it to press or shape dumplings from your paste.
-
Too place these on lightly oiled board or plate plus leave them to stand for short while.
-
Heat generous quantity of salted water in a big pan.
-
Place the dumplings into the water.
-
Bring them back to boil before turning down the heat plus leaving to simmer for 10 – 15 minutes.
-
Turn the dumplings every so often.
-
Remove the semolina dumplings.
-
Put them in the heated soup.
-
Dish up promptly, using a garnish of sprinkled parsley or chives.
-
The semolina dumplings can too be cooked in your beef broth, but this causes your soup to take on a a bit dull appearance.
-
Your cooked dumplings should never left standing in your soup.
-
Keep going for too long, as will “soak up” your soup and become softened.
