Halushki Recipe (Traditional Ukrainian Dumplings) (1)

These halushki come straight from my grandmother’s recipe collection. A traditional Ukrainian dumpling dish, halushki consist of melt-in-your-mouth dumplings tossed with crunchy bacon and sautéed veggies. Get ready to fall hard and fast for these morsels!

In Ukraine, these dumplings are treated much like Italian gnocchi. They can be tossed with a variety of different sauces and toppings and represent the best characteristics of Ukrainian home cooking – simple, affordable, and heart-warming.

Confusion Alert: There is also a Polish dish called “halushki” that consists of noodles, onions, and cabbage. Additionally, a similar Russian dumpling dish is called “galushki”.

What is Halushki?

Halushki, a popular dish of traditional Ukrainian dumplings, consists of plump flour-based dumplings tossed with pan-fried bacon and veggies. Typically, it’s served in Ukrainian cafes at lunch or dinner time alongside a light salad. Below, find a high-level overview of the flavor, texture, and cooking time.

  • Flavor: Halushki are buttery, salty, and rich.
  • Texture: The tender dumplings are contrasted with crunchy bacon and bits of sautéed mushroom and onions.
  • Time: From prep to table, halushki take just under an hour to make.

How to Make Halushki

Making halushki only requires a handful of wholesome ingredients and simple steps. Find an overview of the recipe below.

  • Make the dumpling dough. In a large bowl, add the flour, salt and create a small well in the center of it. Add eggs, water, and melted butter into the well. Use a fork to incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour to create the dough until you get a smooth texture.
  • Shape & Boil the Dumplings: On a floured surface, separate the dough into eight pieces. Roll each piece into a long string and dice it into small pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the raw dumplings into the water, cooking until they float to the top.

  • Sauté the Veggies & Bacon: In a large skillet preheated with butter, sauté the mushrooms until lightly browned. Add the onions into the skillet and cook until translucent. Season the veggies with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in bacon pieces and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Pan-Fry the Dumplings: In a non-stick skillet, add the boiled dumplings, veggies, and bacon. Pan-fry the dumplings until they turn golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy every bite!

Tips for Making the Best Halushki

Below, find a collection of tips to help you make the best traditional Ukrainian dumplings. When halushki hit the table, your guests are seriously going to think you have a Ukrainian grandmother hiding in your kitchen!

  • Use high-quality all-purpose flour. Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Flour is a Momsdish favorite. It has a high-protein content yielding dumplings with a denser texture and satisfying bite.
  • Use European-style butter. European butter is churned longer, resulting in a higher butterfat content and a golden yellow hue. Overall, it has more flavor and texture. It will add an unparalleled richness to your halushki! A couple of great brands are Kerrygold and Plugra.
  • Allow the dumplings to float before removing them. Once the dumplings float to the top of the boiling water, they are fully cooked. If you remove them before they rise to the top, they will be gummy and undercooked.

Serving Halushki

Serve halushki alongside a light side salad or veggie dish for lunch or dinner. Just like pasta or gnocchi, these dumplings are carb-heavy and filling all on their own. Pairing the dumplings with a classic garden salad, marinated tomatoes, or homemade caesar will make for a nice, well-rounded meal.

Hot Tip: Add a dollop of sour cream on top of the halushki right before serving for a tangy pop of flavor. If you didn’t know, Ukrainians LOVE using sour cream as a garnish!

Storing Halushki

  • Refrigerator: Store leftover halushki in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet with a little butter or in the microwave.
  • Freezer: You can freeze halushki by placing the raw dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop the entire baking sheet in the freezer. Once completely frozen, transfer the dumplings to a freezer-safe plastic bag. Frozen halushki should keep for up to 3 months.

FAQ

What is the origin of halushki?

Halushki originate from Ukraine. However, there is a very similar dish in Russia called “galushki”.

What is halushki made of?

Ukrainian halushki are made with a similar dough as Italian pasta. The dumplings are then boiled and pan-fried alongside veggies and bacon bits.

Can you freeze halushki?

You can freeze halushki by placing the raw dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the entire baking sheet in the freezer uncovered. Once frozen, transfer the dumplings to a freezer-safe plastic bag. Frozen halushki should keep for up to 3 months.

What should I serve halushki with?

Halushki is best served alongside a fresh side salad or some grilled veggies. Much like pasta, it’s carb-heavy and filling so light sides pair best with it.

Can I use a different type of flour than all-purpose for halushki?

All-purpose flour works best for halushki. You could probably use a gluten-free variety, but we’ve only used all-purpose and can’t guarantee how it will turn out.

    There is also a Slovakian dish called "halušky" and it is topped with bacon and sheep cream cheese called "bryndza". Or bacon and sauerkraut. I will have to try the Ukrainian version.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I personally didn’t like the dumping recipe. All I could taste is flour and we found ourselves avoiding it on the plate. All the ingredients work well together, I wish I used a different dough though.

    It's wrong. We do bot have a dish called "halushki" in Poland (it's not even a polish word). BUT we have en exactly the same dish like the one you made and we call it "kopytka".

    Gobi, a Navy friend, gave us this recipe. Basically the same, but no mushrooms, I like the thought of mushrooms.Also we used a chunk of salt pork curbed, much more flavor than bacon.The noodle dough was rolled out flat and cut into odd square shapes, I like the noodle idea. When all mixed together, we added sauerkraut , mixed well, adding a drizzle of extra bacon grease. I think the sauerkraut cuts the grease, and adds more yummy flavor to a heavy dish. Bless the memory of our very dear friend.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I admit that this was not my favorite dish, perhaps because I have COVID. My husband thought that it was passingly good, but he isn't asking for me to make it again. It seemed to come out correctly but it was on the bland side and the taste of dough was too prominent. For me...

        For some reason the dumplings didn’t come out right the second time I made this so I ended up cooking up some frozen gnocchi I had on hand. They were perfect in it.

    This was bloomin lovely! Will be adding this to our comfort food rotations. I halved the dumpling recipe as there is only a few of us in our household and I did do an extra onion. We had loads left still for a second portion. We had this for lunch and a few hours later for dinner! hehehe. Very good..very tasty and pleasing on the household budget. Thank you for sharing. Glory to Ukraine!

    Hi, this recipe looks delicious, I can't wait to try it! Do you think the whole thing could be made the day before then reheated or would it not work? As I'm attempting to make a Ukrainian feast and will have lots of other dishes on the go on the day! If not I will make up to the dumplings and freeze as you suggest above 🙂 Many thanks!

      Hi Susie- they taste best eaten fresh, otherwise please go with the freezing instructions in the recipe for best results. A Ukrainian feast sounds amazing, I'd love to hear what else you are making. 😄

    Linda SzymoniakApr 1, 2022

    I love trying to make food from other countries, and with Ukraine in the news so much right now, I thought I could honor them by making one of their traditional dishes. My husband is not a fan of gnocchi and I worried he would see these dumplings as gnocchi. He is a very picky person and seldom likes the new dishes I try. However, he LOVED this so it will be going into my regular rotation of recipes I make for dinner. I worried it would be difficult, but was very easy to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Delicious! I'm sorry it took me this long to try a Ukrainian dish. I cut the dumpling recipe in half since I saw the comment on how big the dish was and it was still so good! I'm praying for and thinking about Ukraine. Unacceptable what is happening right now. Their strength and honor against tyranny and violence is absolutely inspiring. I pray for peace as soon as possible.

    SkiteMar 20, 2022

    Just a warning, this makes a LOT. Like, won't fit in your biggest pot, feed your entire hoard of cousins, a lot. Believe it when it says 12 servings. Halve or even quarter the recipe if you aren't feeding a small army or planning on freezing half.
    It's pretty good, I did wind up needing about an extra 3/4 c of flour to make the dough. It was nice when garnished with some green onion and dill, like the pictures show.
    I will also say you should be careful what bacon to use. Since it's a main source of flavor in this dish, if you pick a strongly flavored bacon, it will come through even stronger in the dish. It took about 5 slices to make a generous cup of bacon.

      I made it with AP GF flour tonight. I think the buckwheat was a bit more pronounced maybe, but not bad I think I will use Pamela's GF flour next time for bit lighter dough, but it still was very good.

      I did use free range chicken eggs from our flock.

      Natalya DrozhzhinOct 20, 2021

      Hi John, nope no dumb questions, I am happy to help with anything you may need. So the bacon is cooked at the end, it is in step 3 in the HALUSHKI TOPPINGS section. After you cook the halushki you can make the topping for it and that is when the bacon is cooked. Hope this helps 🙂

    Hello Natalya, I am Natalia and live in Zurich, Switzerland. My grandparents lived in Zhdanov (now Mariupol) and I used to visit them, traveling from Moscow, every summer. They were originally from Leningrad, but my grandfather was posted there to be the commander of the Air Pilots School. Their best friends were a Ukrainian family and every time I came to visit, they would invite us down for a meal. My favourite was this very dish, galushki. I was looking for the same recipe for years, until I found yours. This is exactly the way they made it - and it's delicious! I recreated the dish from your recipe several times by now, and it's wonderful! Thank you so much! I hope that

    I made these last night and cooked them in mushroom yushka (or my interpretation of it). They were excellent!!! I had tried them before using a different recipe and they didn't work, so I was very happy to find your recipe. But one question: Why do you add no salt? Is it that they are supposed to pick up the flavor of the sauce? To my palate, they would have been more delicious with a teaspoon or two of salt in the dough.

      Natalya DrozhzhinDec 18, 2020

      Hi Jennie, I feel like with salty bacon flavor, they come out delicious. I do think that you have a valid point. I will have to try madding salt to the dough. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

    Hello, I know this dish as well from my childhood 😊, however it's a bit different. It's made with leftover cooked potatoes, which makes them a little lighter... if one can consider this hardy dish light. 😁
