Then eggs. I start with 3 eggs and add one until I get the consistancy I want. So not to clumpy, but not too watery. If it just needs a little something, you can add a few tablespoons of water. Presto!
Now, when water in pot boils, get a regular spoon. Meaning a teaspoon you would use to eat with. Emerge just the spoon part, not the handle, in the boiling water. Take out and start spooning dumpling mixture in the boiling water to the bottom of the pot. Don't pour in the spoonfuls. Tap spoon to the bottom. Keep doing that. Dumplings will float to the top when almost done. About a minute. Let them float another minute. Take out the cooked ones and put in a bowl. Continue spooning dumpling mixture in water until no more. :)
made 'em today! kinda ugly, look like funny matzoh balls, may have overcooked a little bit, but I can fine tune all that the next time. I put them in some stock I made and froze after Thanksgiving, everything is sitting on the stove hoping all the flavors make friends.
Had no idea it would be this easy, thank you MrsSledn.
