CHEDDAR CHEESE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• COMBINE the flour, eggs, butter and salt in a food processor, bowl of a stand mixer or by hand in a large bowl and mix until the dough has the consistency of wet sand. Add the water, and mix until a workable dough is formed. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Place in a bowl and cover with a damp, cotton towel or plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. MELT the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onions until they just start to soften, about 5 or 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Place the onions in a mixing bowl and add the cheese, salt and pepper and mix until it is well blended. Set aside. AFTER the dough has rested, divide it in half and place one half on a lightly floured work surface and keep the other half covered in the bowl. Roll the half you are working with out into a very thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick. Using a 3" to 3½ inch floured cookie cutter or glass cut out circles of the dough. Save the dough scraps and add to the dough left in the bowl. PLACE two or three teaspoons of the cheese filling in the center of the circles and fold one side of the dough over the filling to form a half circle. Seal them by pressing the edges together with your fingers. You can also help seal them by pressing the edges with the tines of a fork. As they are done, place the dumplings on a lightly floured baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and scraps until either all of the dough or all of the cheese filling has been used. BRING a pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop 3 or 4 of the dumplings into the pot and gently stir to prevent them from sticking. Cook for about 4 or 5 minutes or until they float to the top. Using a slotted spoon remove the cooked dumplings and put them in a colander to drain for a few seconds and then transfer to a bowl. Repeat this until all of the dumplings have been cooked. Add the two tablespoons of cut butter to the bowl and, as it is melting, gently toss to coat the dumplings. Serve with lots of sour cream.

FARMER CHEESE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Make dough:
• Stir together flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in flour mixture and add egg, oil, and water, then gently beat with a fork, gradually incorporating shallow scrapings from inside flour wall to form a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface, adding just enough flour to prevent dough from sticking, until dough is smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Rinse a 2-quart bowl with hot water and dry it, then invert over dough. Let dough stand, covered, 30 to 60 minutes.
• Make cheese filling:
• Stir together farmer cheese, sour cream, egg yolks, salt, and 1 tablespoon bread crumbs in a bowl. Beat egg whites in another bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until they just hold stiff peaks. Fold whites into cheese mixture gently but thoroughly.
• Roll and fill dough:
• Bring an 8- to 10-quart pot of salted water (see Tips, page 141) to a boil.
• Meanwhile, cover table with tablecloth, allowing cloth to hang over edges, and dust cloth lightly with flour (it isn't necessary to dust overhang). Lightly flour dough and roll out on cloth with rolling pin, as evenly as possible, into a 24- by 20-inch rectangle, so that a long side of rectangle is nearest you. Dough should be thin enough for you to see any pattern on tablecloth.
• Gently brush dough with 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons bread crumbs. Divide cheese filling into 2 mounds on dough on left and right sides. Spread filling into 2 side-by-side 18- by 10-inch rectangles (with a short side of each cheese rectangle nearest you), leaving a 2-inch space between rectangles and a 1-inch border around outer edges.
• Holding tablecloth edge nearest you tautly, lift up cloth to make dough roll over on itself (away from you). Continue rolling, lifting tablecloth and pulling it toward you until dough is completely rolled (there is no need to use your hands to roll the dough). Cut into 2 rolls through 2-inch space between fillings.
• Carefully transfer 1 roll using a metal spatula onto center of 1 piece of cheesecloth. Fold cheesecloth over roll to cover top and wrap roll, then twist ends of cheesecloth and tie with kitchen string about 1 inch from each end. (Excess cloth on ends helps in lifting roll when boiled.) Wrap second roll in same manner.
• Cook rolls in boiling water (rolls will float), partially covered, 15 minutes. Transfer with a large slotted spoon or skimmer to a shallow baking pan and cool 3 minutes. Cut off kitchen string and unwrap cheesecloth, then transfer rolls to a platter with a metal spatula. Trim off and discard ends of rolls, then drizzle rolls with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cut into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices.

CHEESE DUMPLINGS

SLOVENIAN SWEET CHEESE DUMPLINGS WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Add whipping cream and sugar to a saucepan. Stir and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 6 - 8 minutes. The cream should thicken and cover the back of the spoon. Stir from time to time while cooking.
• In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, sugar, finely chopped almonds, and ground almonds. Stir and pan-fry for 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with ground cinnamon.
• Divide the whipping cream mixture between four plates. Place a warm štrukelj on top and sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs. Serve as soon as possible.

CENTRAL EUROPEAN CHEESE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. In a food processor or blender, or with an electric mixer, combine the cheeses, onion, and salt. Add the eggs and beat until smooth. Beat in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir in enough of the semolina to produce a firm dough. (Getting the moisture level right so that the batter holds together in your hand is the tricky part.) Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. (The semolina absorbs moisture from the batter and firms it.)
• 2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil. Using 2 moistened soup spoons or your hands moistened with water, form the batter into 1 1/2-inch balls.
• 3. Drop the dumplings in the water in batches and stir gently to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until they expand and rise to the surface, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Serve warm. To keep warm or reheat, place in a 200°F oven.
• Austrian Jam-Filled Cheese Dumplings (Gefulte Topfenknodel)
• In the dumpling batter, omit the onion and add 3 to 5 tablespoons sugar and, if desired, 1 to 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest. Press a deep indentation into the cheese balls, fill with about 1/4 teaspoon lekvar (prune butter) or other jam (about 1/4 cup total), and press the dough around the filling to enclose. Cook as above. Serve with sweetened whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, or jam.
• Romanian Cheese-Cornmeal Dumplings (Papanush):
• Omit the onion and substitute 1/2 to 3/4 cup fine-grind yellow cornmeal for the semolina.
