You may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Its amount depends on the moisture content of the curd and the size of the eggs.
The dough after kneading should be soft, pleasant, not too tight. Lazy dumplings can be made by pinching off small pieces of dough and rolling them into balls.
