1390. DAMPFNUDELN, OR GERMAN DUMPLINGS.
THESE are made with the same kind of paste as the krapfen
(No. 1388), but half the quantity will suffice for this purpose. When
the fermentation of the paste has properly taken place, let it be laid
on the paste-slab, kneaded into a dozen small rolls, and then placed
in a deep saucepan, about an inch apart from each other, as much
warm milk must be poured over them, as will suffice to cover their
surface, and as soon as they have risen to nearly twice their original
size, put them in the oven to be baked of a light colour; just before
withdrawing them from the oven, see that the milk is not absorbed by
dampfnudeln, and let them be glazed over with sugar and the red-hot
salamander. Dish them up on a napkin, and send some vanilla-custard
sauce separately in a sauce-boat.
