First, cream the butter and add the egg and semolina.
Season to taste with salt and nutmeg and let it rise briefly.
Use a tablespoon to make dumplings from the mixture and let them cook gently in hot water or soup.
Preparation Tip:
Instead of semolina, you can also prepare these dumplings with polenta (cornmeal). Polenta gnocchi, however, have to steep and cook much longer (about 30-45 minutes each).
