1 large onion, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon butter
2 quarts soft breadcrumbs
2 eggs, well beaten

Simmer liver in water for a few minutes before grinding and force meat through a food chopper.
Fry onion in butter; add bread crumbs.
Combine liver and eggs; mix well.
Add bread crumb mixture.
Season to taste.
Stir in flour (using more than a 1/2 cup if necessary) to make a batter stiff enough to drop from the spoon.
Drop into a kettle of hot broth or soup; cover tightly and cook for 30 minutes.
Shake pan frequently to prevent dumplings from sticking to each other.

Chef #1057375; I hope you read that it,s SOFT bread crumbs, not DRY. I see nothing wrong with this recipe.

Someone needs to proof read or test their recipe! There is something definitely wrong here! Two QUARTS of breadcrumbs...FOR REAL? I cut the bread crumbs to just over two cups and added a few items that seemed to be missing. Don't waste your time or the money on ingredients on this one. Look up another liver dumpling recipe!
