Poltavska Halushka

Halushky from Poltava are some of the simplest yet most satisfying dumplings in all of Ukrainian cooking. Made from a soft, pillowy dough of flour, eggs, and a touch of milk, they are torn or cut into small pieces and boiled in salted water or broth. The Poltava style is distinguished by its incredibly light, airy texture and the generous finish of melted butter and sour cream. There is even a monument to halushky in the city of Poltava, testament to the city's love for this humble dish.
