Ingredients for 4 portions

Method

  1. Dice day-old bread rolls. Warm milk, pour over the bread and leave for 15 minutes.
  2. Soften finely chopped onion in butter for 5 minutes. Mix into bread with eggs, parsley, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  3. Add flour and gently combine. With wet hands shape into eight compact dumplings; if very soft, rest for 5 minutes so the bread absorbs more liquid.
  4. Lower into gently simmering water and cook for 15–18 minutes until firm and hot through. Lift out with a slotted spoon.

Two dumplings per portion. Do not boil vigorously or they can fall apart. Mushroom sauce or meat gravy is not included.
