We knead a fairly cool dough out of them and form dumplings. Each one is slightly stretched and twisted into a shell. They should be cooked a little longer than in the previous recipe. In addition to such a soup, we make dressing - we press the garlic, add salt and a couple of spoons of broth to it.
But the dummies in Poltava even opened a monument in their hometown. To prepare them, take 1 cup of flour, 1/3 cup of kefir, 1 egg, 0.5 teaspoon of soda, salt and sugar. Knead the dough on sifted flour, form a bun from it and let it rest for half an hour. The resulting ball on the working surface is divided into parts, from each roll the sausage and cut into pieces. Such dumplings are best steamed, and then put in a plate portionwise and pour in the broth. We warn: they turn out to be tender and magnificent and during cooking they increase significantly in volume. Poltava soup dumplings recipe can also be used as a second dish and served with sour cream or mushroom sauce.
