- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (522 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 400 g Milk, whole
- 55 g Flour, all-purpose
- 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 1.5 g Salt
Method
- Crack the egg into a bowl and add the flour, then rub the two together between your fingertips until the mixture forms small, dry, pea-sized crumbs.
- Peel and finely dice the onion. Melt half the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and golden.
- Pour in the milk and salt and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring so it does not catch on the bottom.
- Sprinkle the flour crumbs into the simmering milk a little at a time, stirring constantly so they stay separate instead of clumping together.
- Simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until the crumbs are cooked through and the soup has thickened lightly.
- Stir in the remaining butter, ladle into a bowl and serve hot.
