The handmade dumplings are dense and chewy, creating the perfect contrast to the buttery, tender cabbage. Simmering the cabbage in stock and butter forms a rich pan sauce that coats every bite, while thyme and black pepper add the earthy warmth found in traditional German home cooking.<br>German Cabbage and Dumplings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingredients<br>Ingredient Amount<br>Dumplings<br>All-purpose flour 1 cup<br>Eggs, whisked (room temperature) 2 large<br>Milk (as needed) 1\u20133 tbsp<br>Dried thyme or parsley 1 tsp<br>Black pepper \u00be tsp<br>Salt \u00bd tsp<br>Baking powder (optional) \u00bd tsp<br>Baking soda (optional) \u00bc tsp<br>Cabbage<br>Cabbage, chopped into large chunks 1 medium<br>Unsalted butter, divided 4 tbsp<br>Onion, roughly chopped 1 large<br>Vegetable or chicken stock \u00bc cup<br>Garlic powder \u00bd tsp<br>Kosher salt and black pepper To taste<br>Fresh parsley (for garnish) 1 tbsp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[adinserter block=&#8221;6&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: Mix the Dumpling Dough<br>In a large bowl, whisk together flour, thyme, pepper, and salt (plus baking powder and soda if using). Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Stir until a stiff dough forms, adding milk one tablespoon at a time only if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: Boil the Dumplings<br>Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tip: Dip your spoon into the hot water before scooping the dough\u2014this helps the dumplings slide off easily. Once they float, they\u2019re done. Remove with a slotted spoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Saut\u00e9 the Onions<br>In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Saut\u00e9 the onion for 8\u201310 minutes, until soft and lightly golden. This step builds deep flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Braise the Cabbage<br>Add the remaining butter, cabbage, stock, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer until the cabbage is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 5: Combine and Serve<br>Gently fold the cooked dumplings into the cabbage mixture, tossing to coat them in the buttery sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[adinserter block=&#8221;7&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[adinserter block=&#8221;5&#8243;] This German Cabbage and Dumplings dish\u2014often called Kraut und Sp\u00e4tzle or a variation of Haluski\u2014is a classic European&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5569\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
