Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the egg, milk, and salt together.
- Gradually add flour to make a soft dough.
- Drop tiny bits of the dough into one quart of boiling water with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Ensure the water is boiling before adding the dough.
- Boil for 5 minutes, then drain.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat. If you're out of eggs, you can substitute with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). The dough should be soft but not sticky; adjust flour as needed. For a twist, add herbs or spices to the dough for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Snipel Krazen as a side dish or a main course with a drizzle of melted butter and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. They pair beautifully with a hearty soup or stew. Consider serving alongside a light salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. For a unique taste experience, try them with a tangy yogurt sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently simmer in water for a few minutes until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out. These can also be used in soups like Shourbat Laban for a comforting meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to cover it tightly to prevent it from drying out. When ready to use, bring it back to room temperature before dropping it into boiling water.
What can I do if the dough is too dry?
If your dough turns out too dry, gradually add small amounts of milk until it reaches the desired consistency. Remember, it should be soft but manageable. If it's too sticky, you can sprinkle a little more flour to help it come together.
Can I freeze Snipel Krazen?
Yes, you can freeze them after cooking. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be reheated directly from frozen by boiling them in water.
