Directions
- Place the water, salt, sugar, and butter in a non-stick saucepan. ≈ 3 min
- Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and pour in the flour all at once. Mix vigorously with a spatula until a smooth, firm ball forms; let it sit for a few minutes over the heat if it seems too wet.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, until the dough is smooth; beat the last egg separately and add it gradually. Stop when the dough forms a ribbon that falls from the spatula. ≈ 4 min
- Form small balls on a fork or spoon, place them on a greased baking sheet, and flatten the tips with a wet finger. Then, sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake in the middle of the oven at 200 °C for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Once the cabbage is well-filled and colored, open the oven to allow it to dry.
