Ingredients

Brezelknödel

  • 12 large pretzel rods
  • 200 ml milk hot
  • 1 egg
  • 1 yellow onion small diced
  • 15 g butter
  • 2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoon italian herbs
  • 65 g all-purpose flour can vary, may need a little less or more

Instructions

  • Break the pretzel rods into small pieces. Combine in a bowl with the hot milk and allow to steep for at least 15 minutes.
  • Cook the minced onion in some butter until translucent in color and add to the pretzel-milk mixture with the parsley and italian herbs. Season with some salt, pepper and add in the egg.
  • Allow to sit for another 5 minutes. Bring a large pot of water to a soft simmer. Using wet hands, shape dumplings.
  • Steep in the hot water for 20 minutes and serve with some pork beer goulash or anything that has a great sauce like my beef rouladen or cabbage rouladen.

Notes

Leftover dumplings are amazing cut into slices and sautéed in some butter.
