Ingredients:

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  pound         stale white bread
   1      cup           milk -- warmed
   1      tablespoon    cooking oil
   1      medium        onion -- chopped
   3                    eggs
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      white pepper
     1/8  teaspoon      nutmeg
   3      tablespoons   chopped parsley

Preparation:

Break bread into small pieces; place in a medium bowl and pour milk over. Sauté onion in oil till brown. Combine bread, onion and remaining ingredients; blend well. Mixture should be stiff -- add more milk or bread to adjust consistency. Working with floured hands, form mixture into a roll about 2-1/2 inches wide. Cut roll into 8 pieces and form each into a dumpling. Boil dumplings in water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Do not cover. Simmer over low heat about 15 minutes; dumplings are done when they float. from THE BEST OF GERMAN COOKING, by Edda Meyer-Berkhout.
