- On a clean surface, sprinkle some flour and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Cut the rolled-out dough into squares of about 3x3 inches.
- Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each dough square.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water.
- Carefully drop the maultaschen into the boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- In a separate pot, heat the vegetable broth.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked maultaschen from the boiling water to the heated vegetable broth.
- Simmer the maultaschen in the vegetable broth for about 5 minutes.
- Serve the maultaschen in bowls, garnished with chopped parsley.
