  3. When the water comes to a boil, pour the buckwheat flour into the water quickly while stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon.

  4. Keep stirring until all the flour is moistened.

  5. Use a metal teaspoon, dip it into the melted butter, then scoop out a slightly heaped spoonful of the dumpling dough.

  6. Shape the top of the dumpling with your fingers if it is quite ragged.

  7. Plop the dumpling into a preheating skillet on the stovetop.

  8. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
