What is a Knedla?
A knedla is a type of dumpling commonly found in Central and Eastern European cuisine. It is typically made from dough, which is often based on flour, rice, potatoes, or breadcrumbs, and can be filled with various ingredients such as fruit, meat, or cheese. Knedla can be served as a side dish, dessert, or even a main course, depending on the filling and preparation method.
