Delicate gnocchi

Fluffy homemade gnocchi are a great accompaniment to sauces, roasted meats and vegetable dishes. The dough is prepared in a few minutes, the gnocchi are cooked in boiling water and finally softened with butter and cream. This keeps them beautifully soft and tasty.

Ingredients · Servings 1 dose
  • 300 g wholemeal flour
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 5 tablespoons sweet cream
  • 150 ml of water
  • salt
  • To complete:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 50 ml whipping cream
Method · 30 min
  1. Put the egg yolks, sweet cream, water and salt in a bowl. Whisk everything together.
  2. Sift the coarse flour into a larger bowl.
  3. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour and mix lightly. We only combine the dough, we do not work it.
  4. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.
  5. Dip a spoon in water and cut out the gnocchi, which we immediately drop into the boiling water.
  6. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface. Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and let them drain.
  7. Add the butter and cream to the still hot gnocchi. Mix carefully and heat briefly.
  8. Serve while still warm.
