Homemade Maultaschen (German Dumplings)
Servings: 10 Dumplings
Ingredients
Dough
- 150g Plain Flour
- 1 Egg
- 60ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Filling
- 200g Beef mince
- 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- A handful of frozen spinach
Broth + Toppings
- 250ml Warm veggie or beef broth (stock cubes will do)
- 1 Onion, sliced and fried
- 3 Chives, finely chopped
Instructions
For The Wrappers
- Add the flour, egg, salt, and water to a bowl and combine. If the mixture is too wet, add flour. If the mixture is too dry, add water.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Set it aside for 15 minutes in cling film to avoid drying out.
- Roll the dough out to 3mm thick into a long line (see video on Instagram). You can either use a rolling pin or use a pasta machine.
For The Filling
- In a medium sized bowl, add in the beef, nutmeg, and spinach. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Wrapping
- Place the filling along the middle of the dough like a long sausage, and then wrap each side of the dough over the filling. Using a wooden spoon, crease the dough every 2-3 inches and then slice with a knife.
Cooking
- Place the Maultaschen in a boiling pan of water and simmer for 4-6 minutes (or until they float).
- Remove and drain.
Serving
- In a bowl, add the dumplings, warm broth, fried onions, and chives.
