Pour the egg and milk mixture over the stale bread. Cover and leave to rest for a few minutes. Mix the parsley leaves into the egg and bread mixture and with damp hands form 8 dumplings out of the mixture. The dumplings should be firm in your hands and quite sticky so that they don't fall apart in the boiling water. In a very large pan bring salted water to the boil. Place the dumplings in the scalding water and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy my German homemade dumplings recipe with your favourite German recipe.
Toasted DumplingsWe hardly ever have any bread dumplings left over, but should you have any they can be turned into a really good supper dish or for lunch. You will need leftover bread dumplings, butter, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, salt or sugar and cinnamon. Cut the bread dumplings into 1/8 inch slices. Heat the butter in a frying pan and toast the dumplings on both sides. In a cup or small bowl mix the eggs with the milk and pour the mixture over your toasted dumplings. Let it set and then season with salt to taste. Serve with a crisp green salad. Or sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and serve with your favourite fruit compote.
