Halushki Recipe (Traditional Ukrainian Dumplings)
Description
The Halushki dough combines flour, salt, eggs, lukewarm water, and melted unsalted butter, producing a smooth, elastic dough that can be rolled and cut into bite-sized pieces. These dumplings cook quickly in boiling salted water, softening until they rise to the surface.
The toppings bring a hearty savory element: mushrooms sautéed in butter with onions, then combined with cooked bacon pieces seasoned with salt and black pepper. This mixture is cooked until tender and flavorful, offering a savory contrast to the mild dumplings.
Traditionally, Halushki can be served warm as a main dish or side, with the rich toppings enhancing the simple dumplings. The process also allows freezing the raw dumplings for convenience, cooking them fresh later.
Ingredients
Halushki Dumplings
- 5 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 egg
- 1 cup water lukewarm
- 150 g butter for dough, unsalted
Halushki Toppings
- 3 tbsp butter for sautéing veggies + dumplings, unsalted
- 1 lb mushrooms fresh
- 1 onion
- 1 cup bacon pieces
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
Instructions
Halushki Dumplings
- Prepare ingredients for the recipe.
- Place the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a little well in the middle. Place whisked eggs, water, and melted butter into it. Using a fork, work the ingredients together to form the dough. Finish up combining the ingredients by hand until you get a smooth, even texture.
- Divide the dough into eight even pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a long string. Dice each string into small pieces.
- At this point, you can either freeze the raw dough for later use or move onto the next step to cook them.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the raw dumplings and boil them until they float to the top.
Halushki Toppings
- Gather the topping ingredients.
- Dice mushrooms and sauté them in a buttered skillet for about 5 minutes. Dice the onions and add them to the skillet, cooking them until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in bacon pieces, sauté for 5 minutes.
- Place dumplings into a nonstick skillet and add in sautéed mixture and butter. Cook until they turn golden brown.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
