Ingredients

• 1 , 1 pound
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion , finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups dry bread crumbs , Optional

Instructions

1. 1 Place bread cubes into a large bowl. Heat milk until it starts to bubble at the edges, then pour it over bread cubes. Stir briefly to coat bread. Let soak for 15 minutes.
2. 2 Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender. Stir in parsley, and remove the skillet from the heat. Mix butter into the bowl with bread along with eggs, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, squeeze the dough through your fingers until it is smooth and sticky.
3. 3 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. The water should be at least 3 or 4 inches deep. When the water is boiling, make a test dumpling about the size of a small orange or tangerine by patting and cupping it between wet hands. Gently drop it into the boiling water. If it falls apart, the dough is too wet. In this case, stir some bread crumbs into the rest of the dumpling batter.
4. 4 Form the remaining dough into large dumplings, then carefully drop them into the boiling water. Simmer for 20 minutes, then remove to a serving plate with a large slotted spoon. They should come out soft, spongy, and delicious!
