Stir the mixture until it forms a pliable dough.

Knead the dough until it is smooth and not sticky.

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each into a ball.

Shape each ball into a thin sausage and cut into smaller chunks.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float, about 4 minutes.

Remove the dumplings from the water and serve with cream, butter, or jam.
