if needed to form a thick dropable but not watery dough. Mix

teaspoon salt. Holding the saucepan with dough over it, drop 1/2
teaspoonfuls of dough into the water, making sure to immerse the spoon
into the water to clear it of dough residue. Cook dumplings one layer
at a time for a few minutes, removing them with a slotted spoon and
placing them in a serving bowl. Add a couple of drops of oil to keep
them from sticking together or a pat of butter. When they are all
done, stir in a pint of sour cream and optional cottage cheese.
