Amy was looking for a recipe for Cheese Dumplings served at a hotel in the
Catskills many years ago.  Here are two responses from our readers.  Thanks to
all who responded to both requests!

I googled Grossinger's Cheese Dumplings and found a recipe that sounds exactly
what Amy is looking for at NatashasKitchen.com/2013/02/17cheese-
umplings-recipe.  See below. Hope this is of help.

Cheese Dumplings Recipe
Prep time 15 mins
Cook time 5 mins
Total time 20 mins

Traditional Ukrainian dumplings are made with Tvorog; a homemade farmers
cheese.  This is an even lazier (I mean easier) version.  The ricotta cheese
is inexpensive and simple, but I do have the recipe for home made farmers
cheese posted. Author: Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com Skill Level: Easy
Cost To Make: $4-$5
Serving: 4
Ingredients

    15 oz Ricotta cheese or farmers cheese
    2 large eggs
    3 Tbsp sugar
    1/2 tsp salt + 1/2 Tbsp of salt for water
    1 1/2 cup all purpose flour + more to dust
    4 Tbsp butter, soft or melted

Instructions

    In a medium size bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 3 Tbsp of sugar,
    1/2 tsp salt and 15 oz of Ricotta cheese just until well blended.
    Use a spatula to mix in 1 1/2 cups of flour, add more flour if
    needed just until you can form a ball.  Don't overmix or dough
    can become tough.  The less you mix the dough the softer it will
    be.  Dust a cutting board with flour, divide the dough ball into
    quarters and roll each section into a 1/2" thick strip.  Cut each
    strip into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces on the diagonal (only because
    they are prettier at an angle).  Bring a pot of water with 1/2
    Tbsp salt to a boil.  Carefully drop in the dumplings (try to
    keep them close to the level of the water when dropping them in
    or they may splash).  Lightly boil for about 2 minutes without
    stirring until dumplings float to the top.  Remove with a slotted
    spoon into a colander and lightly rinse with cold water to remove
    excess starch.  Toss/swirl with melted or softened butter.  I
    boiled it in two batches using the same water, but you could
    probably boil them all at once.  Serve with sour cream.  We love
    to saut+¬ dumplings afterwards until they are golden brown;
    especially leftovers.  Oh yum.
