Step 1
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt. Make a well and add 1 egg and 0.5 cup water; stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Roll dough into a 1/4-inch thick sheet. Cut into 2-inch squares or circles using a knife or cookie cutter.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the dough pieces in batches; cook until they float and are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Step 5
In a skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.
Step 6
Toss the cooked dumplings with the onion butter. Serve warm, with extra butter or sour cream if desired.
