These dumplings are a good topping for stews and soups. I grew up with Mom putting these on top of a chicken stew but I think they're even better over a beef stew. These dumplings have NEVER failed me. Ingredients:
2 c. all-purpose flour |
1/2 tsp. salt |
4 tsp. baking powder |
1 egg |
milk |
Directions:
1. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Break egg into a 1 cup measuring cup. Beat lightly with a fork. Add milk to make 1 c. Add egg and milk mixture to dry ingredients. Beat a little. Set aside and let stand to rise for about 5 minutes. Drop by spoonfuls onto boiling stew or soup. Cover and boil for 20 minutes.
2. Notes:
3. 1. I use a tablespoon to drop the dough and that makes pretty large dumplings since they expand quite a bit. Usually we have 1 dumpling per bowl. If smaller dumplings are desired, a teaspoon is probably better to use.
4. 2. Herbal seasonings as desired (sage, rosemary, basil, etc.) can be added to the flour mixture before adding the egg/milk mixture.
