Instructions
Cut bread into cubes of about 1 cm. Peel and chop the onions.
Sauté the onions in the butter until translucent, add the milk and remove from the heat.
Mix eggs, creme fraiche, sour cream.
Add the milk and egg mixture to the bread. Chop parsley.
Mix all ingredients together and season to taste.
Let the mixture stand for about an hour.
Form the bread mixture into a roll.
Moisten a cloth napkin or heat-resistant cling film and wrap the dumpling roll in it – tie the two ends together.
Put the dumpling roll in boiling salted water and simmer for about 40 minutes, the water should not boil any more.
It is best to cook the dumplings with a lid on half heat.
Take the dumplings out of the napkin or foil, cut into slices and serve while still hot.
If necessary, prepare the dumplings one day in advance and cut them into slices cold. Then fry in butter and serve.
