Strain some of the dumplings into a colander, keeping half of them in the pot. When they float, they are done, only a few minutes. Make sure to stir them up in case some are sticking together. You can do this by dropping them in a few at a time or fill up a spatula with dumplings and add to water. Add potatoes, cook for 10 minutes, until just tender. Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.Cut pieces of dough into similar, bite sized pieces onto a tea towel. Between your palms, flatten dough into a large flat circle, about 1 inch thick. With kitchen shears, cut dough into 4 or 5 large pieces.Return half the bacon mixture to the pan. Do NOT wipe out the pan - you need the fat for frying. When done, place bacon and onions on paper towls on a plate. Stir frequently over medium heat until bacon is cooked and onion is slightly browned. Add bacon and onion to large frying pan.If you find it's too dry or too wet, add a very small amount of water or flour until you get the right consistency. It shouldn't be too dry and just a tiny bit sticky. Knead the dough in the bowl until it is one large ball of dough.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, eggs and water with your hands.I'm not sure where the name originally came from, but they have always been German bullets! Enjoy! They would get kitchen shears and cut the dumplings right into the splashing boiling water and it never seemed to bother them! I am not as tough as they are so I have made this recipe into my own and I don't get burned! :) I make this for my kids now and they love them! If you like things made from dough, you should love these! It's not that hard to make, it's about multitasking. I just loved watching my Mom, Aunts and Grandma chop everything and fry up the bacon and onions. No bacon? They made it without! When I was younger, my family would get together and make up a huge batch of these and we always had soup as well as fried dumplings. If they didn't have any eggs, they used more water. Warning - this is a real comfort food! My Grandma told me that her German Mother used to make these and not for comfort - it was making a meal out of things they had on hand.
