Serviettenknödel (Bread Dumplings) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 stale bread rolls (or 250g dry bread cubes)
250 ml warm milk
2 eggs (whole)
60 g butter (melted)
1 small onion (chopped)
salt
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 dash nutmeg

Preparation

Chop stale bread rolls in smallish cubes.
Melt butter in a pan and add chopped onion and parsley. Let fry until translucent.
Mix eggs, milk, sour cream, salt and nutmeg.
Transfer butter, onion and parsley mixture to bread crumbs. Do the same with the milk - sour cream mixture.
Adjust salt to taste.
Let Knodel-dough rest for about 15 minutes.
Then form a 2-3 inch roll and wrap in heat resistant cellophane (looks like a sausage).
Additionally wrap in aluminium foil and put in a pot with simmering water.
Let simmer for about 20 minutes.
Unwrap and cut in half-inch thick slices.
(If you prefer dumplings add 50g flour to the dough, form medium sized dumplings and simmer in boiling water for about 20-25 minutes).
