Here is an overview of of the ingredients. I needed some more onion for the other components of the meal, that's why I used a large (or even huge) onion. I also skipped the butter since the milk was already whole milk.

First cut the bacon in cubes.

Slowly fry the bacon cubes in a pan. Don't discard the fat, you will need it in the dough.

While the bacon is frying, cut the onion and add it to the bacon when it's almost done for the last few minutes.

Cut the rolls (or bread) into cubes, about the size of a cherry or a little larger.

Wash and dry the parsley.

Cut the parsley as small as possible, use a machine if that's easier for you.

Place the bread cubes in a large bowl, add the bacon, the fat from the pan, the fried onions and the parsley to the bowl.

Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Heat the milk with the butter in it (optional) in the microwave.

Meanwhile fill a large cooking pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil.

Add eggs and milk/butter mix to the bowl.

Stir with a large spoon and then start kneading it with your hands - that's actually fun! Mix very well! Form 5-6 dumplings of the same size. Make sure to press the dough together while forming, so they won't fall apart.

Remove the boiling water from the stove. Carefully add the dumplings to the water - one by one. Put the pot back to the stove but reduce the heat, so it will only boil a very little bit.

After a few minutes decline the heat even more so it is just close to boiling. Let stand for about 20 minutes. Add a lid!

When the dumplings are ready, carefully remove them from the water and serve in a bowl. They taste best when fresh and hot!
