1 cup instant Potato Buds
1 cup hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour

Combine Potato Buds and hot water. Add remaining ingredients in order given. Mix well. Form into 2-inch fingers or balls with hands. Flour hands occasionally so dough doesn't stick. Cook in boiling salted water until they rise to top. Remove dumplings from water with slotted spoon and place in buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and keep layering melted butter, dumplings and crumbs. Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees F for 5-10 minutes.
