Hungarian Nokedli are soft, pillowy dumplings that are a staple of Hungarian cuisine. Similar to German Spätzle, they’re quick to prepare using just a few pantry ingredients. These tender dumplings are traditionally served alongside Chicken Paprikash, Beef Goulash, or stews, but they’re equally delicious tossed with butter or cheese.
