Instructions
-
Start boiling a large pot of salted water.
-
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and milk.
-
Pour the egg-milk mixture into the dry ingredients.
-
Knead the dough until it no longer sticks to the bowl, then cover and let stand for 1 hour.
-
Incorporate 4 cups of bread cubes into the dough.
-
Shape the dough into 3 or 4 rolls, each about 8 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, using floured hands.
-
Carefully place the rolls into the boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking; cook in batches if necessary.
-
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
-
After 10 minutes, remove one dumpling and slice to check for doneness; it is done when the knife comes out almost clean.
-
Remove all cooked dumplings and slice into 3/4-inch pieces.
-
Serve warm with gravy and fresh parsley garnish.
