Equipment
- 1 15x10x1 inch baking pan
- 1 whisk
- 2 large spoon
- 1 small bowl
- 1 dutch oven
- 1 toothpick
- 1 small saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 day old hard rolls
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- ½ cup leftover mashed potatoes
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup butter, cubed
- ½ cup water
- 2 tsp canola oil
- a dash of ground nutmeg
Instructions
- tear the 2 day old hard rolls into ½ inch pieces. Place in the 15x10x1 inch baking pan. Drizzle with water and squeeze dry.
- In the large skillet heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the torn rolls. Cook and stir until lightly toasted for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- In the small bowl combine the eggs, nutmeg, bread and potatoes. Make sure to add enough flour to achieve a shaping consistency.
- With your hands floured, shape the mixture into 3 inch balls.
- Fill the dutch oven ⅔ full with water. Bring to a boil. Carefully add the dumplings. I use a large slotted spoon, to keep from splattering the hot water.
- Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the dumplings comes out clean about 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Heat until golden brown about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Serve the warm dumplings with butter.
