Preparation:
1. To make the dumplings, put the flour in a large bowl, making a well in the middle. Add the egg and salt and mix well. Add the milk and combine, making a sticky dough with the consistency of bread dough. Spread a thick layer of flour on a work surface and roll out the dumplings as thin as you can get them. Loosely cover with a clean dish towel and allow to dry out overnight.
2. To make the broth, boil the water with bacon in a large pot. Cook until the grease floats to the top. Leave the grease in. Add the peas, butter, black pepper, and parsley to the boiling water.
3. Cut the dumplings into 2-inch-wide strips. Pinch off 2 inches at a time from each strip and add to the boiling pea mixture. The dumplings will absorb the grease and butter. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, taste the peas and dumplings for desired tenderness.
Makes 4 to 5 servings.
