Directions
-
In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, salt, and eggs together until well combined and smooth.
-
Gradually add the farina, one quarter cup at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition until a firm, cohesive dough forms.
-
If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add a small splash of water or broth to bring it together into a workable consistency.
-
Bring your soup or stew to a gentle boil in a large pot.
-
Using a teaspoon, scoop small portions of the dough and drop them directly into the simmering liquid.
-
Cook the dumplings for about 5 minutes after they float to the surface, ensuring they are cooked through and tender.

Note
These dumplings are best served immediately after cooking to maintain their optimal texture.
Farina (coarse semolina) provides a firmer, chewier bite compared to standard flour dumplings.
Adjust the amount of farina added based on the consistency of your eggs; some batches may require slightly more or less to achieve the right dough stiffness.
These dumplings pair excellently with chicken soup, beef goulash, or vegetable broths.
