MY BABCIA'S DUMPLINGS KNEDLIKY or KLUSKI

RECIPE FOR KNEDLIKY (KLUSKI). We used the slang term for this ( KLUSHKI ).....1 pkg of dry granulated yeast.....1/4 cup lukewarm water.....1/2 tsp. sugar.....1/2 tsp. flour.....1 egg.....1/2 cup of lukewarm milk.....1 1/2 cup of flour ( do not sift ).....1/2 tsp. salt.....3 slices of white brread, toasted and cubed........Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup lukewarm water. Sprinkle sugar and 1/2 teaspoon flour on top; cover and let rise. when this is ready, use medium-sized bowl and beat egg and lukewarm milk, then add the yeast mixture, stirring once or twice. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt. Beat with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes. Cover and let rise double in bulk. When doughg has risen, put on floured board and knead; add the bread cubes and mix well, adding more flour if necessary so it doesn't stick to hands or board. Cut dough into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball; cover and let rise for almost 20 minutes. Using a large kettle with cover, fill 2/3 full of water and bring to rapid boil. Slowly add 3 dumplings. Put on cover and boil for 20 minutes wuthout peeking. Take out dumplings with slotted spoon, one at a time. Put on wood board and cut into slices immediately. Dumplings may be sliced into 5 or 6 slices. Leftover dumplings may be steamed over hot water the next day and serve with diced/fried bacon and some sour cream.......Enjoy the Kluski............Pavle
