Bring milk, fat, spices and cheese to a boil. Then take the pan off the hob, pour in the sifted flour all at once, stir everything into a smooth dumpling and heat it for about 1 minute while stirring. Immediately put the hot dumpling in a bowl and stir in the egg. Cut off the dumplings with a wet spoon, add them to boiling salted water or boiling soup and let them steep for 5 minutes.
These dumplings taste particularly good as an addition to tomato soup.
