Serves 4.

Ingredients:

• 300 grams flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3 eggs
• 15 ml water
• 1 large onion
• 150 grams mixed grated cheeses (use sharp cheese such as Gruyere, mild cheese such as Emmental and, if possible, add sour cheese)

Preparation:

• Place flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix eggs and water in a separate bowl and then add to the dry ingredients. Mix until bubbles rise in the batter. The batter is the correct consistency when it is thick. Cover the batter with a cloth and let stand for approx. 30 minutes.
• Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Drop small bits of the batter into the simmering water or put through a sliding cutter or colander. When the dumplings come to the surface, remove and drain them with a sieve. Place them on a plate and mix with the grated cheese. Garnish the cheese dumplings with toasted onions and serve with salad or applesauce.
