  1. They tasted yummy but I'm not sure I cooked them correctly, never having made dumplings before. They seemed kind of "doughy" so next time I'll try cooking them a little longer with hotter water. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. These are absolutely fabulous. As a little girl in Vienna i adored them and still do. I eat them as a meal, even if they should be dessert because they are so good
