Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 egg
¾ cup water, or as needed
6 medium potatoes - peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 ounces sliced bacon, diced
1 large onion, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Crack the egg into a measuring cup, and add enough water to equal 1 cup. Whisk with a fork. Gradually stir the egg-water and oil into the flour mixture with the fork until a soft dough is formed. Use your hands to mix the dough until is smooth and no longer sticky, adding more flour or water as needed. Cover the bowl, and set aside until the potatoes are ready.
  • Place potatoes in a large pot with the salt and water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion; cook and stir until onions are golden and bacon is cooked. Set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cooked, pinch off small pieces of the dough, and drop them into the boiling potato water. Turning the dough in your hand will help keep it from sticking to your fingers. Once all of the dumplings have been added, you can stir in the bacon and onions. Ladle some of the water from the soup into the skillet, and swish it around to clean out all of the tasty bits and juices. Pour back into the soup. Turn off the soup, and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

OLD COUNTRY DUMPLINGS (GERMAN BULLETS) - 2 WAYS



Old Country Dumplings (German Bullets) - 2 Ways image

Warning - this is a real comfort food! My Grandma told me that her German Mother used to make these and not for comfort - it was making a meal out of things they had on hand. If they didn't have any eggs, they used more water. No bacon? They made it without! When I was younger, my family would get together and make up a huge batch of these and we always had soup as well as fried dumplings. I just loved watching my Mom, Aunts and Grandma chop everything and fry up the bacon and onions. They would get kitchen shears and cut the dumplings right into the splashing boiling water and it never seemed to bother them! I am not as tough as they are so I have made this recipe into my own and I don't get burned! :) I make this for my kids now and they love them! If you like things made from dough, you should love these! It's not that hard to make, it's about multitasking. I'm not sure where the name originally came from, but they have always been German bullets! Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups flour
4 eggs
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb bacon, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
1 large potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, eggs and water with your hands. Knead the dough in the bowl until it is one large ball of dough. It shouldn't be too dry and just a tiny bit sticky. If you find it's too dry or too wet, add a very small amount of water or flour until you get the right consistency. Set bowl aside.
  • Add bacon and onion to large frying pan. Stir frequently over medium heat until bacon is cooked and onion is slightly browned. When done, place bacon and onions on paper towls on a plate. Do NOT wipe out the pan - you need the fat for frying. Return half the bacon mixture to the pan.
  • With kitchen shears, cut dough into 4 or 5 large pieces. Between your palms, flatten dough into a large flat circle, about 1 inch thick. Cut pieces of dough into similar, bite sized pieces onto a tea towel. It's OK if they dry for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add potatoes, cook for 10 minutes, until just tender. Remove potatoes and set aside.
  • Add dumplings to boiling water. You can do this by dropping them in a few at a time or fill up a spatula with dumplings and add to water. Make sure to stir them up in case some are sticking together. When they float, they are done, only a few minutes. Strain some of the dumplings into a colander, keeping half of them in the pot. *** Make sure you keep enough cooking water in the pot to cover about 3/4 of the soup dumplings.
  • Ensure that half of the dumplings are in the soup and half in the pan with the bacon and onions. Add the potatoes to the soup and the bacon and onion mixture that you set aside. Add milk and bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil, you can turn it down to low. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • While waiting for the soup to boil, fry the dumplings in the pan with the bacon and onion. Add eggs and stir to coat the dumplings. Let egg cook through. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Your 2 versions of dumplings are now ready! I usually have the soup first and then the fried ones second, in the same bowl. Some people like to get the soup and put the fried ones on top. Any way you like it - there are no rules!
  • It is a good idea to leave out salt and pepper so everyone can add it to their taste.

Tips for Making Hard Dumplings for Soup:

  • Use the right flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used for dumplings, but you can also use bread flour or semolina flour for a chewier texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the dumplings tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
  • Let the dough rest: Resting the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the gluten relax and make the dumplings more tender.
  • Boil the dumplings in salted water: Salting the water will help to flavor the dumplings and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When boiling the dumplings, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from sticking together and cooking evenly.
  • Cook the dumplings until they float: The dumplings are done cooking when they float to the top of the pot. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion:

Hard dumplings are a delicious and versatile addition to any soup. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and a little bit of practice, you'll be able to make perfect hard dumplings every time.
