Dumplings with dried fruit and fried bacon

Mix 500g flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 eggs, and the milk into a dough. The dough needs to be very stiff, so use the milk sparingly at first. The dumplings are easy to shape with a tablespoon before being added to boiling salted water. Cook for about 4 minutes. Cook the dried fruit in water and thicken with a roux. Fry the bacon with onions. The crispier, the better and tastier. On Fehmarn, it’s said that a dumpling once “slipped” off a plate during a Klümpessen dinner and hit a windowpane, breaking it. My grandfather always said that if the dumpling bounces like a rubber ball, it’s good.
