- Stir in the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat until the mayonnaise has completely melted.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add all the flour at once.
- Stir rapidly to create a homogeneous dough and prevent any lumps from forming.
- Return the dough to low heat and stir continuously for one or two minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the dough to cool down until it is warm to the touch.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Shape the dough into long, thin rolls using your hands.
- Cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces to form the traditional dumpling shape.
- Cook the dumplings in a large pot of boiling salted water.
- Remove the dumplings from the water as soon as they float to the surface.
- Drain well and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
