Kovaim (Hungarian Cheese Dumplings) Recipe

Dough

• 300 g flour
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup water
• Salt to taste

Filling

• Dry ricotta cheese
• Salt to taste

1. Mix the flour, salt, eggs and water into a dough. Knead it until it is very smooth.
2. Cover the dough in a plastic bowl, and let it rest for at least half an hour.
3. Combine the ricotta and salt to make the filling.
4. Roll the dough out into a sheet as thin as possible (about 3 mm thick). Cut into squares, and fill each square with some filling. Fold the dough over the filling diagonally to make a triangular dumpling.
5. Boil the dumplings in water for about 5 minutes.
6. Serve hot.
