Kluski Z Miodem – Honey Noodles
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup sour cream
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, honey, sugar, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
2. Using a fork or your hands, gently mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
4. Using a sharp knife or a fluted pastry wheel, cut the rolled-out dough into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
5. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Working in batches, drop the noodles into the boiling water. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the noodles float to the surface.
6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked noodles to a colander to drain. Continue until all the noodles are cooked.
7. In a separate saucepan, melt a tablespoon of butter over low heat. Add the drained noodles to the pan and toss gently to coat them in the butter.
8. Sprinkle the warm noodles with powdered sugar, mixing gently to ensure even distribution. Serve the Kluski Z Miodem – Honey Noodles warm and enjoy the sweet taste of Polish Christmas tradition.
