Yeast Dumplings Recipe

Place milk and butter in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until butter melts. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water placed in a small bowl. Set aside.

Combine the eggs sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix until thoroughly blended. Gradually stir in the flour alternating with milk and yeast mixtures. Gather the dough into a ball. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest 20 minutes.

Pour the chicken broth into a large pot. Bring broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

Meanwhile sprinkle flour over a clean board or countertop. Turn the dough out onto the board and knead lightly until smooth and satiny about 3 minutes. Add a little more flour if the dough is sticky. Roll out the dough to be about 1/2 inch thick. Use a butter knife to cut dough into 2 inch wide strips and place strips into the boiling broth. Dumplings will initially sink then rise to the surface when cooked about 10 minutes. Remove dumplings from the broth with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate.
