Ingredients
- 2/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2/3 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 8 cups chicken stock or water
Instructions
- Stir the bread crumbs and milk together in a medium-size mixing bowl. Let stand for 3 minutes so the crumbs absorb the milk.
- Mix in the ricotta, egg yolks and whites, salt, and pepper, whisking to blend everything well.
- Stir in the flour and baking powder until well blended.
- Bring the stock or water to a simmer in a large pot.
- Shape about 1 tbsp of the dumpling dough on a tbsp and drop into the simmering liquid. Repeat until all the dough is used. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through. You may need to cut one in half to check.
- Serve immediately.
