When balls come to the surface, allow them to boil for 3 minutes. Remove one from liquid and cut open; if center is dry, they are sufficiently cooked. Remove balls from liquid and pour over them a dressing made as follows: Brown the butter in a skillet, add the ½ cup bread crumbs and onion and cook for several minutes.
