flokkuler

Flokkuler are a type of traditional Icelandic dish, typically served as a side dish or a main course. The term "flokkuler" translates to "flock of birds" in English, referring to the way the small, round dumplings resemble a flock of birds when cooked. These dumplings are made from a simple dough consisting of flour, eggs, and sometimes milk or water. The dough is rolled out thinly and cut into small circles, which are then boiled in water until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked.

Flokkuler are often served with a variety of accompaniments, including boiled potatoes, smoked fish, or meat dishes. They can be seasoned with salt, pepper, or other herbs and spices to enhance their flavor. The dish is a staple in Icelandic cuisine and is enjoyed both at home and in restaurants. Flokkuler are not only a popular side dish but also a comforting and hearty meal, reflecting the simplicity and wholesomeness of traditional Icelandic cooking.
