Hungarian Bread Dumplings (Zsemlye Gomboc)
3 hard dinner rolls
Butter
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt
Milk
3 to 4 quarts water
Cut the rolls into small dice and saut� in butter until crisp but not browned.
Mix the flour, eggs, butter, baking powder, salt, and enough milk to make a
medium dough. Blend together thoroughly. Fold in the saut�ed, diced rolls.
Bring 3 to 4 quarts water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Drop the
dumplings into the boiling water a tablespoonful at a time. When they come to
the surface, taste one. If done, remove the dumplings from the water with a
slotted spoon. Dot with melted butter and place in a warm oven to heat through.
If you want them crisp, turn the oven to 400 degrees F and let them brown
slightly, but do not let them dry out. Serves 6-8 |
