RE: Sour beef and dumplings
Here's a bread dumplingrecipe postedfrom another site.
4 leftover rolls or biscuits, or an equivilant amount of stale bread
1 small onion or 1/2 a medium onion, finely chopped
1 Egg
1/2 cup of milk
Parsley and /or marjoram
Saute the onions in a bit of butter and add the herbs. Break up the biscuits, rolls or bread in a mixing bowl. Add the onions and slightly beaten egg. Add the milk a bit at a time to moisten but not soak the bread. If you go too far, you can add a bit of flour to tighten it up. Let sit for about an hour.
Form into balls with wet hands, about the size of a tennis ball (actually a bit smaller). Drop into gently boiling water. Cook 10-15 minutes until the inside is well done. Serve with the sauerbraten gravy.
