Helga Kaiser’s Dumplings
Ingredients
1 Baguette, cubed
2 Eggs
2 Cups milk
½ Stick Butter
½ Cup finely chopped parsley
1 Boullion Cube
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
Beat together the milk and 2 eggs. Soak baguette in the egg and milk mixture. In a frying pan, melt butter, sauté parsley and pour over bread mixture. Let soak for ½ hour to an hour- it needs to be firm not loose –Helga says she has “Fingerspitz gefuehl” – “feel in the tips of the fingers.” Boil a pot of water adding the boullion cube. Using a white linen napkin, sprinkle with flour, spread mixture into the shape of a tube and tie both ends of the napkin (like a sausage). Put in boiling water for about an hour. Remove from water and let stand/set. Then slice up and serve dumplings with goose.
