- 2In a large bowl, whisk together the salt and 2 cups of flour. Add the milk and egg to the yeast mixture. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Gradually add more flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- 3Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 4 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 4Lightly flour a clean work surface. Gently punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round dumpling (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Place the dumplings on the floured surface and let them rise for at least 30 minutes.
- 5Generously butter a large, round, deep pan. Place the dumplings in the pan, leaving some space between each. Brush each dumpling with melted butter.
- 6Add about 1 inch of water to the pan. Cover the pan tightly with a lid and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Steam the dumplings for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown on the bottom. Do not lift the lid during steaming.
- 7Serve the Dampfnudeln warm with your favorite sweet or savory accompaniments, such as vanilla sauce, fruit compote, or a simple butter and sugar topping.
