My grandmother makes this recipe once a year and it has always been my favorite! We are german and have always called it Knadle. She cuts the dumplings up into large bite size peices and adds them to some buttery carmelized onions.

These were good. I think that next time I make these I will get a little more creative with them. I fried the dumplings in butter and onions after boiling them. This added a nice touch. Thanks for sharing!
