👨‍🍳 निर्देश

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.
2. 2

   Gradually add water while mixing with a fork or your hands until a stiff dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   ⏱️ 5 minutes

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: The dough should be firm, not sticky. Add more flour if too wet, or a tiny bit more water if too dry.
3. 3

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Use plenty of water to prevent the halušky from sticking together.
4. 4

   Using a halušky maker (or a colander with large holes, or by hand), press or drop small pieces of dough into the boiling water.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
5. 5

   Cook the halušky until they float to the surface, then continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. They should be tender but still have a slight bite.

   ⏱️ 5-7 minutes

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Taste a piece to ensure it's cooked through.
6. 6

   Drain the cooked halušky well. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the halušky are thoroughly drained to prevent a watery dish.
7. 7

   Add the drained halušky to the melted butter along with the ground poppy seeds. Toss gently to coat evenly.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Stir continuously to ensure the poppy seeds adhere well.
8. 8

   Serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
