How To Make wedding dumplings

• Step 1
  Place a sheet of wax paper onto one 15x10x1-inch baking sheet. Set baking sheet aside.
• Step 2
  In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
• Step 3
  Add the milk, salt, and nutmeg; stir thoroughly.
• Step 4
  Add the torn bread, and mix thoroughly with your hands.
• Step 5
  Shape bread mixture into 7 to 8 medium sized balls (each about 2-1/2" to 3" in size).
• Step 6
  Place the dumplings onto the baking sheet, that was lined with the wax paper.
• Step 7
  Add vegetable oil to a deep fryer, and set the deep fryer to 375 degrees.
• Step 8
  When the deep fryer is hot enough, add the dumplings, and fry them until they're a golden brown (about 5-7 minutes) and turning them once or twice. (Don't worry if the dumplings look a bit dark in color. Once you cook them in boiling water, the dumplings lighten up a bit in color).
• Step 9
  Place the fried dumplings on paper towels.
• Step 10
  To cook the dumplings: Place dumplings in a large pot of boiling water, and cook them uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove and serve the dumplings with a gravy of your choice.
• Step 11
  To freeze the dumplings: After the dumplings are deep-fried, and placed on paper towels; cool them to room temperature. Place the cooled dumplings in (freezer-type) Ziploc Bags, and store them in the freezer. (You can freeze the dumplings for several months).
• Step 12
  Note: Thaw the frozen dumplings completely, before cooking them in boiling water.
