Let the curd cheese sit in a strainer for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Mix the curd cheese, eggs, flour, semolina, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar into a soft dough.
Rest the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Roll walnut-sized pieces from the dough.
Drop the knodel into boiling water and cook at a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
Toast the breadcrumbs in butter for 5 minutes, until golden.
Roll the drained knodel in the breadcrumbs and serve hot with powdered sugar.
💡 Tip: Briefly draining the curd cheese keeps the dough from loosening, drying the cheese is better than adding extra flour.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the hot knodel with powdered sugar and optional sour cherry compote as a dessert plate.
