In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dairy-free milk and vegetable oil until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently with a spoon until a sticky, cohesive dough forms. Do not overmix.
Bring a large pot of your favorite broth or soup to a gentle simmer.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering pot. Ensure the dumplings are spaced slightly apart as they will expand during cooking.
Cover the pot with a lid and allow the dumplings to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed and cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking as this can affect the rising process.
Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve the dumplings warm, either in the broth or with your favorite stew.
