🧀 Cottage Cheese Dumplings (Túrógombóc)
Ingredients
- 500 g dry cottage cheese (túró or well-drained ricotta)
- 2 eggs
- 80 g semolina (farina)
- 1 pinch salt
- 50 g butter
- 100 g breadcrumbs
For Serving
- Sour cream
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Mix cottage cheese, eggs, semolina, and salt until combined.
- Rest the mixture for 20–30 minutes (important so semolina absorbs moisture).
- With wet hands, form golf-ball-size dumplings.
- Bring lightly salted water to a gentle boil.
- Add dumplings and cook until they float, then simmer 2–3 more minutes. Remove carefully.
- In a pan, melt butter and toast breadcrumbs until golden.
- Roll warm dumplings in breadcrumbs.
Serve warm with lots of sour cream 🤍
Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar if you like the classic sweet-savory balance.
Soft, pillowy, comforting 🇭🇺
One of those Hungarian desserts that tastes like childhood.
