Csipetke are simple Hungarian pasta dumplings. They're made with a combination of flour, beaten eggs, and water. The dumplings are typically hand-shaped – pinched, then rolled into a ball that's flattened and dropped into salted boiling water.
Once boiled, they're drained, rinsed, then added to soups, paprikash, or Hungarian goulash (gulyás). The name csipetke refers to the method of preparation – pinching the dough by hand.
