1
In a food processor, combine the farmer's cheese, eggs, egg yolk, salt, and melted butter until smooth.
2
Add the all-purpose flour to the food processor and process until well combined. The dough will be sticky and never form a ball.
3
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
4
Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface.
5
Shape the dough into a 1 1/2-inch-thick rope.
6
Cut the rope diagonally into 1- or 2-inch pieces, depending on your preferred size.
7
Drop the dumplings into the boiling water.
8
Once the dumplings have risen to the top, let them boil an additional 5 minutes, for a total of about 10 minutes.
9
Carefully remove one dumpling and taste-test to ensure it is cooked to your liking. Note that it will be very hot.
10
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the dumplings to a bowl buttered with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
11
Serve the dumplings immediately, topped with sour cream or fried in a pan with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter until golden brown. Optionally, serve with pan drippings from a pork or beef roast.
12
To store, freeze the boiled dumplings up to 6 months after lightly coating them with butter to prevent sticking together.
