Start with farmer's cheese in a mixing bowl.

Add flour to the farmer's cheese to combine.

Mix in a little salt and butter to make the mixture soft.

Roll the mixture out on a floured surface to prevent sticking.

Cut the rolled mixture into pieces, about the size of a dumpling.

Boil a large pot of water, ensuring it is at a gentle simmer.

Drop the dumpling pieces into the simmering water carefully to avoid breaking them apart.

Cook until the dumplings float to the surface, indicating they are done.

Serve the dumplings topped with sautéed onions and sour cream.
