4. With wet hands, form the mixture into golf ball–sized dumplings.
5. Gently place dumplings into simmering water. Cook 5–8 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
6. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

Breadcrumb Coating:
7. Melt butter in a skillet. Add breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown.
8. Roll warm dumplings in toasted breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Serve warm topped with sour cream and dusted generously with powdered sugar.
