Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 egg medium Germany, large US
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or smetana or Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 180 g all-purpose flour + or - 1 tablespoon 6.5 oz/ 1 ½ cups (Note 1)

Instructions

  1. Beat the eggs and the sour cream/ yogurt/ smetana with a fork.
  2. Add the salt and slowly start adding the flour while beating with the fork and incorporating the flour until smooth.
  3. Adjust batter: Depending on the size of your eggs, you might need one extra tablespoon of flour. Or ½ - 1 tablespoon less if your eggs are small. See the pictures; that is the batter consistency that you should achieve. The batter should be relatively thick and slowly fall off the fork.
  4. Boil water: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add about ½ tablespoon salt to the boiling water. Turn the heat down and let it come to a simmer.
  5. Cook nokedli: Add the nokedli to the water using a teaspoon, which should only be half full with batter. Let the nokedli simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Drain well.

Notes

  • I recommend weighing the flour, it’s all about the balance between the dry and the wet ingredients, and slight variations are not optimal. A digital kitchen scale will give you the most precise measure ensuring the best results (Amazon affiliate link).
