Oh, you want my mother's dumplings. Flour (maybe two cups) with liberal
amounts of salt and pepper. A couple of eggs and enough milk added to
make a "Plop-able" mixture. Drop by spoonsful into boiling* liquid.
*This is important. Dropping this mixture into a liquid solution at
less than boiling temperature will result in a pot full of concrete.
