Have a large pot of boiling, slightly salted water ready. When
all the balls (dumplings) are formed, place them into the boiling water and cook them for 10 minutes, stirring as needed.

Meanwhile melt the butter in a frying pan (medium heat), stir in the breadcrumbs. Allow to brown slightly for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and cinnamon and stir. Turn the heat to very low and keep warm until the dumplings are ready.
