My grandmother makes this recipe once a year and it has always been my favorite! We are german and have always called it Knadle. She cuts the dumplings up into large bite size peices and adds them to some buttery carmelized onions.

These were good. I think that next time I make these I will get a little more creative with them. I fried the dumplings in butter and onions after boiling them. This added a nice touch. Thanks for sharing!

Easy. I used vegetable bouliion powder mixed in the boiling water. I carmelized onions on the side, too. Sliced up a small onion and slow cooked in margarine with a little bit of sugar for 35-40 minutes while preparing the meal. Served with Leeks and apples Sautéed Green Apples and Leeks and German Muffins Old German Muffins. Wish I had leftovers to slice up the next morning for frying!
