Add garlic/salt mixture and paprika and mix well. Add the meat. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently to prevent meat from sticking. Once or twice, add water in 1/2 cup quantities as needed to keep goulash moist. Season to taste.

Add the egg yolks and mix thoroughly. Place about a quarter of a cup of flour in a dish. Form dumplings the size of a golf ball and roll in the flour to coat. Drop the dumplings into slow-boiling water, cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet, add bread crumbs and stir while heating until browned. roll the drained dumplings in bread crumbs. Serve alongside goulash. NOTE: If first dumpling falls apart in the boiling water, add flour to the dumpling mixture until dumplings hold togedther in the water.
