Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
- 4 cups soup or broth
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped fresh parsley for an herby touch to your dumplings.
Bring the soup or broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium heat.
Using a tablespoon or a small scoop, drop dollops of the dumpling dough into the simmering liquid. Do not overcrowd the pot as the dumplings will expand while cooking.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fully puffed up and cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid unnecessarily, since the steam is crucial for proper cooking.
Gently stir the pot to ensure the dumplings are not sticking to each other or the bottom, then remove it from the heat.
Ladle the soup or stew with fluffy dumplings into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy this comforting Danish classic!
