German Butter Dumplings for Soups

Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the dry ingredients. Refrigerate for about 1/2 hour. Bring a large pot of water just to boil. Using two spoons, form triangular-shaped dumplings and drop them into the boiling water. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes each and remove from water to drain.
