For the gravy put ½ tablespoonful of flour into the butter or
drippings, steep and add ¾ cup of water or bouillon or left over
gravy. Strain and pour over the meat balls and serve. They are also
good served cold.

Mix well the crumbs, onion, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, flour, liver

the dumplings and cook for 10 minutes. Put them in a dish or platter
