Such an unflattering epithet is dubbed them only because you will be spared from rolling dough, modeling and stuffing each dumpling with cottage cheese.

By the way, with homemade chicken eggs, the dough becomes more yellow, because they contain more coloring pigment and they are much more useful store!
Then add flour to the curd mass and knead light dough, which will stick slightly to your hands. On the cut of this test should be visible curd inters and small air grooves.
