Once your soup or broth is simmering nicely you can start on the dumplings.

In a large bowl mix the flour, bread crumbs, eggs, butter, cheeses, parsley, baking powder, salt, sage and pepper together. Work so it the butter is thouroughly mixed in and you should get a moist breadcrumb-like mixture.

To make the dough stick together better, add milk, small dashes at a time, and work the dough untill it forms a ball.

If your mixture seems too dry and isnt sticking, add another egg yolk. If it is too wet add a little more flour and breadcrumbs.

Divide your dumplings into large meatball size balls. You should be able to make around 8-10.

Keep covered with clingfilm untill you are ready, they require about ten minutes to cook. Place them into the broth and keep it simmering untill the dumplings rise to the surface. Avoid over-stirring as you dont want to risk breaking them apart. Once they have all risen they are cooked through, and will be moist on the outside layer and dry and fluffy inside.
