Holiday Leftovers + Czech Dumplings
Holiday Leftovers + Czech Dumplings
I used New Year's Eve leftovers as an excuse to make houskové knedlíky (bread dumplings) from the Czech Republic. I almost felt like I was back in Prague! 🇨🇿🍖

That looks like svíčková from hell

You're not far off. I was aiming for a poor man's svíčková by learning to make the houskové knedlíky first. My goal for the coming weeks is to make svíčková entirely by hand and do even better with the houskové knedlíky.
One step at a time. I'm proud of my first step. 😺🇨🇿

Oh the Czech dumplings are nice, I had them last year for the first time.
Oh and the name Knedlíky sound somehow very funny for polish ears.

Those are some impressive home-made houskové knedlíky!
For sure! And calling them dumplings is doing them a disservice in my eyes.
For those who don't know them: They are a taste sponge, taking up all that delicious sauce and delivering the concentrated flavor right to your taste buds. They are simply great.
You're right! The translation is such a disservice. That's why I prefer to simply use the Czech term, houskové knedlíky. My goal was to expand my cultural understanding by trying to make another country's food by hand. I'm very happy to say that I'm accomplishing that goal. 😻🇨🇿
Thank you! I'm very pleased for a first attempt.Thank you! I'm very pleased for a first attempt.
