Kluten

Kluten is a German dumpling that is made with flour, milk, eggs, and butter. The batter is dropped into boiling water or soup using a spoon, and it is then cooked until done, yielding small and soft dumplings. These dumplings have a very mild flavor, so they pair well with both sweet and savory specialties. Kluten are often featured in dishes such as sweet buttermilk vanilla pudding (buttermilksuppe) and sour cherry soup (kirschsuppe).
