Ingredients
Method
Make Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare Filling
- While the dough is resting, mix the ground beef, ground pork, cooked spinach, breadcrumbs, sautéed onion, one egg, marjoram, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Assemble
- After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it is thin. Cut the dough into squares, about 3x3 inches. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square, then fold the dough over to create a pocket. Press the edges firmly to seal.
Cook
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the Maultaschen to the boiling water. Cook for 8-10 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon.
Serve
- Serve Maultaschen directly in a warm broth or pan-fry them in a little olive oil for a crispier texture.
Notes
Maultaschen can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen uncooked for up to 3 months. Cooking frozen Maultaschen directly from the freezer takes about 10-12 minutes.
