Dampfnudela Steamed German Dumplings Recipe #169773
My grandmother use to make these when I was a kid and we would eat them as bread right out of the frying pan. These have a crisp salty tasting bottom and soft top. So many memories this recipe brings back!!Serve with canned pears.. This is good with very crisp cooked bacon with the sauerkraut and of course sauted onions.
