Season to taste.

Place about a quarter of a cup of flour in a dish. Form dumplings the size of a golf ball and roll in the flour to coat. Drop the dumplings into slow-boiling water, cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet, add bread crumbs and stir while heating until browned. roll the drained dumplings in bread crumbs. Serve alongside goulash.

NOTE: If first dumpling falls apart in the boiling water, add flour to the dumpling mixture until dumplings hold together in the water.
