Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf French loaf bread cut into 1 inches cubes
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp parsley chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • ½ cup dry bread crumbs optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the bread cubes into a large bowl.
  • Heat the milk until it starts to bubble at the edges, then pour it over the bread cubes.
  • Stir briefly to coat the bread.
  • Let it soak for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onions, cook, and stir until tender.
  • Stir in the parsley, and remove from the heat.
  • Mix into the bowl with the bread along with the eggs,salt, and pepper.
  • Use your hands squeezing the dough through your fingers until it is smooth and sticky.
  • 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 between wet hands.
  • Gently drop into boiling water. If it falls apart, the dough is too wet. In this case, stir some bread crumbs into the rest of the dumping batter.
  • Form the remaining dough into large dumplings, and carefully drop 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!
