Instructions

  1. Make a soft dough from the ingredients, preferably in a 2 l bowl with a lid (microwave oven). Possibly add a little flour or water. Then cover the knöpfle with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm place (e.g. next to the heater) for about 30 minutes until it has risen a little.
  2. Then close the lid and put it in the microwave at 600 watts for 4 minutes (this is how it works with my microphone)!
  3. Sometimes the lid pops down, but it doesn`t matter! And if it`s in for too long, there is a bit of a hard edge, but you can cut it off well and enjoy the rest of the tasty button.
  4. Especially tastes good with a lot of gravy!
  5. Also works with a little less flour, the last time I had just under 220 g of flour at home, the Knöpfle was still really tasty!

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
