Liver Dumplings

Submitted by Cookie Jarvis

"My mother used to make this wonderful dumpling served in broth. German in origin, this dish tastes so much better than it looks. You will be going back for seconds and thirds. My mother would grind the liver in her own meat grinder. I never had one, but if I caught the butcher at the supermarket in a good mood he would do it for me."
