- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups diced cooked beef
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like parsley or thyme)
- Cooking spray
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the water and olive oil, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Fold in the diced cooked beef and dried herbs, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed throughout the dough. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time.
- Dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking. Take a generous portion of the dough and shape it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball, ensuring the filling is well enclosed.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the knödel in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the knödel turn golden brown and have a crispy exterior, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the knödel from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of gravy if desired.
