Zwieback Dumplings

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Butter
• 2 pcs Eggs
• Nutmeg (a little)
• 4 tbsp Zwieback

Instructions

1. Cream 1 tablespoon of butter until foamy, add 2 whole eggs and a little nutmeg.
2. After prolonged, vigorous stirring, gradually fold in 4 heaped tablespoons of zwieback.
3. Once everything is well mixed, form small dumplings, using a little zwieback for dusting.
4. Place all dumplings simultaneously into the boiling bouillon, bring to a boil only once, then immediately remove the pot from the heat and let it steep, covered, at the edge of the stove so that the dumplings do not become too firm.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
