Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this will make the dumplings dense.
Bring your soup or stew to a gentle boil. Use a spoon to drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the surface of the liquid. Make sure to space them apart slightly, as they will expand while cooking.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the dumplings to cook for 12-15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure the dumplings steam properly and become fluffy.
Once the dumplings are cooked through, they should be puffed up and no longer doughy in the center. You can test one by cutting it open with a fork.
Serve the fluffy dumplings immediately with your favorite soup or stew. For an added touch, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
