These tender little dumplings, with a mild cheese flavor, are delicious and a great side dish for any meat dish. —Jo Keller, Lorain, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 2 cups small curd cream-style cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • Sour cream

Directions
