TO MAKE THE PLUM COMPOTE
Step 1
Put all the ingredients into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until softened. Take out the cinnamon stick and star anise and let cool a bit.
TO MAKE THE NOCKRL
Step 2
Put all the ingredients for the batter in a bowl an mix them well. Set aside for 1/2 hour.
Step 3
Meanwhile, make the roasted bread crumbs by melting the butter in a pan, adding the bread crumbs, cinnamon and sugar and roasting them until golden, being careful not to burn them. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
Step 4
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Take a tablespoon of batter and shape Nockerl (small oblong dumplings). Reduce the heat, shape one Nockerl after the other and put them into the hot water, simmer for about 5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Step 5
Gently take the Nockerl out of the water with a slotted spoon, drain and roll them in the prepared bread crumbs. Serve with the plum compote, applesauce or fresh berries on the side.
