Sweet Semolina - Schupfnudeln

I confess I have no idea how to translate Schupfnudel! It means a sort of thick noodles made out of potatoe and eggs usually. This recipe is a vegan Variation that uses a Special sort of semolina: Kamut semolina. Kamut is a old sort of wheat that one can find in Health food Shops. The recipe is easy. Nonetheless you need some time as you have to roll the noodles by hand... And this takes some time... You can serve the Schupfnudeln as Dessert or as Main course. Accompaign them with some fruit compote, fruit salad and perhaps with some whipped sweet soy cream...
