These fluffy little light-as-a-cloud herb scented dumplings are simply heavenly served with my Wintry Beef Vegetable Stew With Fluffy Herb Dumplings #112055, or chicken stew! Use any herb you wish- try chives, thyme, sage, etc.- French thyme or Herbes De Napa are my favorites. GREAT comfort food! I hope you enjoy these heavenly dumplings as much as we do. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons shortening (preferably crisco butter flavor shortening) |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley |
1/4 cup snipped fresh herb (you may use chives, thyme, sage or whatever else you prefer,-or- 1 teaspoon dry herbs or herbes de p) |
1 1/2 cups milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cut shortening into combined flour, baking powder, salt, parsley and herbs until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
2. Stir in milk.
3. Drop by heaping spoon fulls onto hot meat or vegetables in boiling stew (do not drop directly into liquid).
4. Cook uncovered 15 minutes.
5. Cover and cook about 15 minutes longer. Cut a dumpling in half to test for doneness; you want them done but not dry!
6. Serve immediately. Also good reheated the next day.
