Fry bacon. 7. Saute onion in butter, adding parsley and chives (this is a"to taste" option). 8. Bring the beef stock to a gentle boil. 9. Add bacon, sausage, and onion mixture to soaked bread mixture. 10. Sprinkle with flour. 11. The mixture should be thick enough to form into 8-12 dumplings (This is done by hand, scoop up a portion of the mixture and press into a ball.) Drop one dumpling into broth and cook about 12 minutes. 12. The dumplings should rise to the top when they are done. 13. Cut the first dumpling open and check to make sure it is of the proper consistency. 14. If it is too hard, add more egg-milk mixture. 15. If it is too soft and falls apart, add flour. 16. Add remaining dumplings as space allows, cooking approximately 12 minutes each. 17. Knödel are served either in broth or over Sauerkraut. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
