  4. Shape the dough into small balls and press a characteristic hole with your finger in the middle of each dumpling.
  5. Put the dumplings in salted boiling water and wait until they float to the surface.
  6. Serve with butter, scratchings of smoked bacon or fried onion.

Tirol Dumplings

Culinary history has always been notable for successfully overcoming political boundaries. For instance, the history of the origins of the Tirol dumpling is in no way restricted to today’s Tirol. Although first recorded in a Tirol cookery book in the 16th century, spicy dumplings had been known fully 400 years earlier in areas of what is now Italy. This is demonstrated by a “fresco with dumplings” in the castle chapel in Hocheppan (Castel d’Appiano). What else but a delicious Tirol dumpling could have inspired the artist in question?
