Try this tender dumpling with sauerkraut or buttered noodles. From the Pennsylvania Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs liver (calf, pork, beef or lamb liver may be used)
1 large onion, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon butter
2 quarts soft breadcrumbs
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper
parsley, minced (optional)
Directions:
1. Simmer liver in water for a few minutes before grinding and force meat through a food chopper.
2. Fry onion in butter; add bread crumbs.
3. Combine liver and eggs; mix well.
4. Add bread crumb mixture.
5. Season to taste.
6. Stir in flour (using more than a 1/2 cup if necessary) to make a batter stiff enough to drop from the spoon.
7. Drop into a kettle of hot broth or soup; cover tightly and cook for 30 minutes.
8. Shake pan frequently to prevent dumplings from sticking to each other.
