Kysové Knĕdliky (Raised Dumplings)

Ingredients

• •1 package yeast
• •1 teaspoon sugar
• •½ teaspoon milk; scalded and cooled
• •1 cup milk, warm
• •1 egg
• •½ teaspoon salt
• •3 ½ cups flour
• •3 slices white bread cubes
• •Drippings from a pork roast

Directions

1. 1Mix the first three ingredients and then let them stand for 10 minutes. Mix the warm milk, egg, salt, yeast mixture and flour. Add the bread cubes. Knead the resulting dough just as you would when making bread. Let the dough rest in a warm place to rise. It should double in about 2 hours. Knead again; divide into 3 long rolls, each about 1 1/2 inches thick. Let rise another 1/2 hour. Drop the rolls of dough, one at a time, into a large kettle of boiling water. Boil gently for about 15 minutes. Remove with slotted spoons and place on a buttered platter. Keep warm. When ready to serve, slice the rolls into individual slices by using a length of thread. Loop it around one dumpling and pull tightly to slice off a piece about 2 inches thick. You should end up with about 2 dozen slices
