Pour hot milk over the sliced rolls. Sauté the onions in the butter in a small pan or in the microwave until translucent and add to the soaked rolls. Add the eggs, all the spices, parsley, chives and the diced ham and process everything in the food processor to form a dough. Thicken with flour and breadcrumbs as required, the dough must be malleable. Let the dumpling dough rest for a few minutes.
Shape 8 large dumplings and soak in boiling salted water. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes in a half-open pot at a low temperature. When the dumplings float to the surface, they`re done.
They go very well with beef roulades with red cabbage.
