Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 large egg (optional for extra richness)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk, melted butter, and egg (if using) until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough directly onto the simmering soup or stew. Cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- Serve warm, letting the dumplings absorb the flavors from the dish.
Notes
- Do not lift the lid while the dumplings are cooking, as the steam helps them become fluffy.
- For herb-flavored dumplings, add 1-2 tsp of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the dough.
