Capuns are typical Alpine fare, originating from the canton of Graubünden. They are basically dumpling batter, wrapped in greens, and simmered in milk or cream.

Although the ingredients are simple, the process can be time-consuming. Nowadays you can find casserole variations, which don’t wrap, but spread, the batter, saving you some time (see Capuns Gratin).
