Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup milk
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 1 large celery stalk, diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the lightly beaten egg and milk gradually to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil. Add the diced carrot, diced celery, and chopped onion to the broth. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dumpling dough (about a heaping tablespoon each) into the simmering broth. Ensure the dumplings have enough space to expand.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the dumplings to cook for 10-12 minutes without lifting the lid, so they cook thoroughly in the steam.
Carefully check the center of one dumpling to ensure it is cooked through and no longer doughy.
Once the dumplings are fully cooked, sprinkle the ground white pepper and fresh parsley onto the broth. Stir gently to combine.
Serve the Dane Dumplings hot, ladled into bowls with the broth and vegetables.
