Halushky - Fluffy Egg Dumplings 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup farina 2 teaspoon baking powder 3 teaspoon butter, cut into tiny bits, chilled 2 eggs; beaten well 1/4 cup milk 2 quart water 1 salt 1 cup onions, fried; optional 1 cup sour cream; optional In a large, chilled mixing bowl, combine the flour, farina, baking powder and butter. Working quickly, use your fingertips to rub the dry ingredients and butter together until they blend and look like flakes of coarse meal. Drop in the eggs and milk and stir vigorously with a large spoon until the batter is thick and smooth. Bring 2 qts of lightly salted water to a boil in a heavy 2 1/2 to 3qt casserole, then reduce the heat so that the water simmers gently. Dip a tablespoon in cold water, scoop up a tablespoon of batter, and drop it into the simmering water. Repeat - dipping the spoon beforehand in water each time - until 6 Tbs of batter have been used. Cover the pan and simmer 6 to 8 mins until the dumplings have puff up and have risen to the surface of the water. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels while you cook the remaining dumplings. Serve either with a stew or roasted meat, or as a separate course topped with fried onions and sour cream
