Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Knead the flour with the egg and salt into a stiff dough; if it is too crumbly, add a little water, but keep the dough firm and not sticky.
- Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth, then flatten it on a floured board to about 3-4 mm thick.
- With floured fingers, pinch off bean-sized pieces and scatter them on a floured tray so they don't stick together.
- Drop them into the boiling soup and cook for 6-8 minutes, until they all float to the top and are tender.

Tips
- To make them ahead, spread the pinched pieces out and let them dry; they keep for days and won't stick together when cooked.
- Csipetke keeps soaking up liquid in the soup: if you are cooking for the next day too, store them separately and warm them in the soup before serving.
