What are wheat dumplings?
They are the best thing you came across today. I mean it’s fast and easy to make and tasty as your-mama’s-apple-pie. Let’s be honest, there is not enough side dishes in this world and fried wheat dumplings will be your next new big discovery. They are made mostly in Eastern Europe (Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, …), but don’t judge me if you find them somewhere else … They are a mixture of all-purpose flour and potatoes, but the secret behind them is lard (oil is also a good option though). The lard needs to be salted, just give it a very, very, very good pinch of salt, before you throw it in the pan. Now we learned wheat they are (got the wheat there 😛 ?), so let’s make them together.
How to make wheat dumplings?
It’s literally the easiest thing to do. Even Kim Kardashian would learn it, like in a day or two (LOL just kidding, or am I?), and all my glossy pearls are the best learners, so it’s not a big thing for you!
1. First take out your fresh potatoes and peel them like your hot girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband on a delightful Saturday evening. Cut them roughly into slices and add them to the boiling water (salt the water, it must be salty as the ocean, Atlantic or Pacific, pick for yourself).
2. When cooked (it’s always cooked if the potatoes fall out of your fork when pressed) remove it from the heat and mix the water together with the potatoes in a nice paste. Season everything to your taste and add the flour, not everything at once my early bird, but piece by piece, until you get a nice and even texture. The mixture needs to be smooth but not hard. The perfect description is slightly sticky (we are a cooking site, and those terms are perfectly normal, nothing to be ashamed of)!
3. Heat up your frying pan with the prepared lard, grab your mixture with a tablespoon and add them, one by one, to the frying pan. Fry them until golden brown on both sides, and they are ready to eat!
You can serve them with sour cream, hot and spicy sauces, just like finger-food or as the perfect side dish to your everyday meal. The best things are as always shared with the people you love! Sharing is caring my little pearl, so either share it, or as it always is and will be, don’t! It’s your free will! HASTA LA VISTA, BABY!
