Etymology
The word Knödel is German and is cognate with the English word knot and the Latin word nōdus 'knot'. Through the Old High German chnodo and the Middle High German knode it finally changed to the modern expression. Knödel in Hungary are called gombóc or knédli; in Slovenia, knedl(j)i or (less specifically) cmoki; in the Czech Republic, knedlíky (singular knedlík); in Slovakia, knedle (singular knedľa); in Luxembourg, Kniddel(en); in Bosnia, Croatia, Poland and Serbia, knedle; in Bukovina, cnidle or cnigle; and in Italy they are known as canederli [kaˈneːderli; kaˈnɛːderli] in Italian and as bales in Ladin. In some regions of the United States,[citation needed] klub is used to refer specifically to potato dumplings. A similar dish is known in Sweden (kroppkakor or pitepalt) and in Norway (raspeball or komle), filled with salty meat; and in Canada (poutine râpée).
Varieties
Knödel are used in various dishes in Austrian, German, Slovak and Czech cuisine. From these regions, Knödel spread throughout Europe. Klöße are also large dumplings, steamed or boiled in hot water, made of dough from grated raw or mashed potatoes, eggs and flour. Similar semolina crack dumplings are made with semolina, egg and butter called Grießklößchen (Austrian German: Grießnockerl; Hungarian: grízgaluska; Silesian: gumiklyjza).[2] Thüringer Klöße are made from raw or boiled potatoes, or a mixture of both, and are often filled with croutons or ham.
- Leberknödel are large dumplings made of ground liver and a batter made of bread soaked in milk and seasoned with nutmeg or other spices, boiled in beef stock and served as a soup.
- Bread dumplings (Semmelknödel) are made with dried white bread, milk and egg yolks. They are sometimes shaped like a loaf of bread and boiled in a napkin, in which case they are known as napkin dumplings or Serviettenknödel. If bacon is added, they are called Speckknödel.[1]
- Plum dumplings (German: Zwetschgenknödel), popular over Central Europe, are large sweet dumplings made with flour and potato batter, by wrapping the potato dough around whole plums (or apricots, see Marillenknödel below), boiled and rolled in hot buttered caramelized bread crumbs.[2][3]
- Dumplings made with quark cheese (German: Topfenknödel; Hungarian: túrógombóc), traditionally topped with cinnamon sugar and served with apple sauce or with streusel.
