Chop or grind the meat and pound into a paste. Cook the bread crumbs in the milk until they become a paste. Add the butter, beaten egg white and seasonings along with the meat. Make 1 inch meatballs.
Put the egg whites for dumplings in a measuring cup and fill to make 1 cup. Add the flour and butter and blend thoroughly. Stir over low heat until the batter is thick and smooth. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in salt, mace and parsley.
Bring the combined broths to a boil. Add the meatballs and simmer 10 minutes. Two minutes after they are added to the soup, drop the dumplings by small spoonfuls. Use either a coffee spoon or a half teaspoon measuring spoon. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Serve hot and garnish with more finely chopped parsley.
Serve with assorted breads and cheeses.
