• 300 g all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp salt
• 200 g ground meat (pork or beef)
• 100 g spinach
• 1 onion Ingredient 6
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp nutmeg

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix the flour, 1 egg, and salt together. Gradually add water until a smooth dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes and then let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent. Add the ground meat, spinach, and nutmeg. Cook until the meat is browned. Allow the filling to cool.

3. 3

   Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin. Cut into squares (about 10x10 cm).

4. 4

   Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Beat the remaining eggs and brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash. Fold the dough over to form a pocket and seal tightly.

5. 5

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the Maultaschen and cook for about 10-15 minutes until they float to the top.

6. 6

   Remove the Maultaschen with a slotted spoon and serve hot with melted butter or in broth.
