Buckwheat Galushky
Homemade buckwheat galushky with the nutty flavor of buckwheat flour — a quick Ukrainian dish traditionally served hot with cracklings or melted butter.
Ingredients
- buckwheat flour180 g
- wheat flour80 g
- egg1 pcs
- warm water130 ml
- salt0.5 tsp
- cracklings or butter80 g
Instructions
Combine the buckwheat and wheat flour with salt in a large bowl.
Add the egg and warm water, then knead a stiff, elastic dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes to let the flour swell.
Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil in a wide pot.
Divide the dough into portions, roll each into a rope about 1.5-2 cm thick and cut into small pieces 1-1.5 cm long.
Drop the galushky into the boiling water and gently stir with a wooden spoon so they don't stick together.
Cook for 3-4 minutes after they float to the surface, drain in a colander and serve immediately, hot, with cracklings or melted butter.
