Notes
- Add the dumplings only at the end of cooking the soup to prevent them from falling apart.
- The exact amount of flour needed depends on the size of the egg and the amount of butter and milk. Gradually add the flour in small amounts towards the end. Finally, knead the dough for about a minute on a floured work surface.
- Test-cook one dumpling first. If it falls apart, knead a bit more flour into the dough.
