This is one of my favorite summer dishes!
In my family we serve it with the buttered bread crumbs poured over it. When done right it's sinful.

Try browning plain bread crumbs in a dry pan, stirring them to prevent scorching. When nice and golden to tan brown, add butter - 2 to 1 ratio (4 T butter to 2 T crumbs), stir and pour over the dumplings. Yum
