Step 1
DumplingsMix the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and oil, blending well, and turn out onto a floured surface. Knead four or five times. Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll out one piece to 1/8-inch thick and cut into 1 x 1 1/2-inch dumplings.In a large saucepan, combine the water and bouillon cubes/soup base.
Step 2
Boil until the bouillon cubes/soup base dissolve. Cook half of the dumplings until just about done; dumplings are done when they float up towards the top of the pot. Use a strainer to remove them to a bowl and set aside. Finish the other half of the dumplings in the same way. Reserve the cooking liquid. Sauce While the dumplings are cooking, you can start to prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in medium saucepan. Add salt and flour; stir until thick. Mix the sugar with the milk and add to flour mixture a little at a time, stirring constantly with a whisk until thick and smooth.
Step 3
Remove from heat. Add the cooked dumplings to the sauce. Dissolve the crumbled bouillon cubes in 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and stir gently into the sauce and dumplings. Return to low heat and simmer until blended. If the sauce seems too thick, gently stir in a little more cooking liquid.
