Recipe from my mom, makes about 40 dumplings as an ingredient in the soup

Mix the sausage meat and eggs and add 3-4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs if needed, season with salt and pepper, or if you have dumpling seasoning at home, add about 1 teaspoon. Using a tablespoon, drop a little of the batter into the hot fat and fry until golden brown. I do it with a small ice cream scoop and it works really well. You can also use ready-made Leberkäse (liver sausage meat), but be careful! Leberkäse (liver sausage meat) is usually already seasoned. Makes about 40 dumplings. Don’t be alarmed if the dumplings shrink a little when they cool down, they will expand again wonderfully in the soup. I freeze the dumplings to keep in stock and usually make 2 kg at once. If needed, simply drop them frozen into the hot broth and let them stand for about 20 minutes, until the dumplings are also hot on the inside.
