Where to find ingredients
Milk, flour, and eggs are available at any major Australian supermarket's dairy or baking aisles. Margarine is found in the refrigerated spreads section. For a richer flavour, unsalted butter is a common substitute for margarine.
Preparation method
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and stir until a uniform dough forms.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the dough comes away cleanly from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the dough from the heat and allow it to cool.
- Turn the dough out onto a smooth surface and knead, adding a little extra flour if required.
- Roll the dough into ropes and cut into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Drop the gnocchi into a pot of boiling water with a splash of vegetable oil.
- Remove the gnocchi just seconds after they rise to the surface.
- Finish by tossing with your choice of sauce and serve immediately.
