Place the dumpling carefully into the softly boiling water. When they are all in the water, simmer for 30-35 minutes. Carefully stir the bottom with a long wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.

You will notice I call them both raspeball and raspaball, in some areas they call it just ball, all three ways are correct depending on where you are in Norway.
