Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 500 g Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 6 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 100 ml Mineral water
  • 300 g Allgäu mountain cheese
  • 2 Onions
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 3 Stem/s flat leaf parsley

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix flour in a bowl with 1 teaspoon salt. Add eggs and mineral water, mix everything with a wooden spoon with a hole to a smooth dough and beat until the dough is bubbling. The dough should be thick. Let it rest for about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Grate the cheese roughly. Peel onions and slice or cut them into thin rings. Heat butter in a pan. Slowly fry the onions in it until brown.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Bring plenty of salt water to the boil in a large pot. Fill the dough in portions into a button slicer (or a spaetzle press) and slice or press it into the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the knöpfle rise to the surface. Remove with a skimmer and drain in a sieve.

  4. 4

    Mix the knöpfle with cheese and onions in a casserole dish. Bake in a hot oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese has melted. Wash parsley, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop finely. Sprinkle over buttons.
