What are flour dumplings served with?

Flour dumplings are boiled in meat stock or salted water and traditionally served in soup.

Why must the dough be cooled before the eggs are stirred in?

If the dough is too hot when the eggs are added, the eggs coagulate and the binding turns out poorly. Well-cooled dough gives a smooth, soft paste.

Flour Dumplings

Flour dumplings from Kogebog for skole og hjem (1900): a choux-style paste of butter, water and flour is stirred with eggs and spices (salt, sugar, nutmeg), shaped into small dumplings and boiled 5 min in stock or salted water.

About the dish

Melboller er en type kokte deigboller, beslektet med tyske Klöße, som ble servert i suppe eller kraft. De hører hjemme blant eggerettene fordi de bindes og heves av egg. Oppskriften bygger på en avbrent deig (choux-lignende) som kokes i kraft.
