3 cm diameter seems a lot… It is an error?
Hi Mark, Let's say two centimeters. Indeed I begin with three and then thin them rotolandoli on schedule. Two fine, even one and a half if you want to make them as small as the goodies. Good day and thanks for making me notice the error. ADA
By nullla. I took tonight gnocchi with pumpkin and bonito and came good. The only drawback, After drained gnocchi were a little’ Molli, next time I will use more flour. You have to take your hand. 😉
Perfect, but did you use purple potatoes or normal? Let's say that, even among normal potatoes, each is to itself and the amount of flour is never standard: you learn to adjust it when you learn about the right consistency of dumpling, you have to go a little’ by eye… one of the first times that I prepared they dissolved in water… 🙂 Ada
