Just like my grandma used to make! I have made these several times now. I also like to make the dumplings smaller (I make 8 instead of 4) and cook them on the top of a simmering soup, covering the pot in the last 10 minutes. You really need to use stale bread for best results. I have tried many different breads and potato bread does NOT work! Wheat bread is also iffy. Stick with any stale white bread and you will love these!

I grew up in Germany and used to eat these things all of the time. Great recipe. They are not the same unless you caramelize some unions and add over the top. It adds some sweetness as well as moisture. Thanks for this great recipe!

My mother is from Munich and she uses the left over dumplings in 2 different ways. One - she cuts them in half, slices them into 1/4" slices and then pan fries them in butter until lightly browned. Serve along side any meat dish. Two - do the same cut as above, add water to a large bowl, add cider vinegar to taste until you get the tartness you like and then add salt to taste. In the bowl, add the sliced dumplings along with 1/2 moon thin sliced onions. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Serve cold. The dumplings take on the vinegar taste and these are what I looked forward to when it was dumpling day.

These are very similar to the Serviettenknodel my mother and Oma used to make. They didn't use onion, but did add a pinch of nutmeg to the seasoned cubed bread and sprinkled a handful of flour over the bowl and let it sit to dry for a few hours. They added the milk and egg mixture, and either formed orange sized dumplings, or tightly tied the whole thing into a large white linen napkin, or servietten. Then simmered it in salted water for about 1/2 hr. on both sides (turn it over in the water). You could always tell when it was done because it would give a nice hollow sound when thumped with a spoon. We let it rest a bit on a platter, then slice it and serve with pork roast and sauerkraut, and of course the pan drippings from the roast. Delicious!! Thanks for the recipe!

Mine fell apart in the water - I actually used beef broth instead of water to cook them in. I missed the step that said add more bread and pulled it out and made it in to stuffing. Still received rave reviews from my German friends.

My husband is slovak and grew up with his grandma making these. I was a bit weary of how this would turn out..But he loved it the kids loved it too. I omitted the onions since my husband doesnt care for onions..flavor was a bit too bland for me but he really liked it. I will be making this again.

Not as good as my Grandma's but my first time trying these and I think my dough was just a bit too wet altho they did not fall apart. My Grandma always used stale brotchens which I highly recommend. These tasted great and the gravy from my pork roast was perfect drizzled over them. Gonna keep trying till I can make them as good as my Grandma. I just had to add that these are really incredible the next day!

I'm Czech so know a thing or two about dumplings and these ROCK!! The addition of the sauted onions was awesome!! Be sure to let the bread soak for the 15 minutes so it's evenly moist and squishing all together is genius. I plan on doubling the recipe and tray freezing them so I always have them on hand!

So delicious! Thank you! Like other reviewers I thought that the they might turn out bland (the recipe list is deceiving) but they were perfect. I didn't have any fresh parsley so I used some dried rosemary instead. Very good and served them as a side to Dijon Tarrogon Cream Chicken on this site. If you are using that recipe be sure to add mushrooms. Thanks again!

These were just ok. I served it with German Beef Rouladen and German Red Cabbage (going with a German theme). Used the gravy from the Rouladen on the dumplings. While my "test" dumpling held together they all started to sort of fall apart at the end.

These were a great change of pace from mashed potatoes and gravy. Turned out perfect and so yummy. Got me thinking of what other kinds of breads I could use.

I made this to accompany the Sauerbraten I was making for Christmas dinner, and they were fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly as written and I was a little afraid that they'd be a bit bland, but the weren't at all and they were wonderful with the gravy from the Sauerbraten. The only thing I did change was making a bunch of smaller dumplings instead of the 4 large ones.

These turned out exactly like my mother-in-law's. I will flavor them a little bit more next time, and also use 2 loafs of bread, as this only made about 7 knoedels. I will make again for sure, and thanks so much to the submitter as I now have written directions rather than just a verbal recipe from my m-i-l.

Made these today, had it with beef roast and gravy. Followed the directions to the letter. Turned out SUPERB! They are not heavy in flavor, but what dumpling is? Dumplings are enhanced with what they are served with. Thanks for a great recipe!
