"This is a family recipe for dumplings that is passed down from my great grandma to my grandma to my mom to me. The grandmas were so very secretive of it as the felt it was the card they had to get family to come visit, so untrue. I think it should be shared."

Brown diced bread in butter and set aside.

Mix Flour and Salt and set aside

Warm milk to 110 degree F and add yeast and let set a few minutes.

Melt butter.

Beat 2 eggs and the melted butter into the milk/yeast mix.

Add flour and salt to a bowl and make a well in the flour.

Pour the milk mix into the well and mix with a wooden spoon.

Add milk or flour to get a firm consistency. Should be firm but easily workable (should have a shine to it but hold together).

Mix in the diced bread. Let stand a few minutes and drop into boiling water.

Boil 20 minutes with lid on - no peek!

ENJOY!
