Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons cold butter
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring gently with a fork until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Bring a pot of soup, stew, or salted water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Using a tablespoon or a small scoop, drop the dough into the simmering liquid. It’s okay if the dumplings appear rough or uneven.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 12-15 minutes without lifting the lid, as the steam is essential for cooking them evenly.
After 15 minutes, remove the lid and check that the dumplings are cooked through. They should be firm and fluffy, with no raw dough in the center.
Serve the dumplings warm, optionally garnished with chopped parsley for extra flavor and presentation.
