About Kniddelen
Kniddelen mat Speck are Luxembourgish flour dumplings with smoked bacon and a creamy sauce. Um Dierfgen’s rendition has irregular, spoon-shaped dumplings with a tender texture and a rich, savoury topping.
Milk and egg give the dumplings a mild flavour, while smoked bacon adds a salty, aromatic contrast. Cream softens the sauce, with parsley and chives available as fresh green garnishes.
The dumplings form a substantial plate beneath the bacon sauce. Their soft surfaces hold the creamy topping, and an accompanying game dish can add another savoury element to the meal.
