Tender little bread dumplings in a chicken broth make this a special treat.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 8 slices day-old bread
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION:
Remove crusts from day old bread and crumble stale slices into a medium bowl. Mix in the butter, egg, salt and pepper until dough forms. Knead until the dough can be formed into balls. Form balls 3/4 inch in diameter, the recipe should make about 30 balls.
