Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup cold water
- 1 large egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the cold water and the egg together until well blended.
Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes, just until the dough comes together and is smooth. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can make the dumplings too tough.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small ball or oval.
Drop the dumplings directly into a pot of gently simmering soup or broth. Ensure the dumplings are fully submerged.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through. Avoid uncovering the pot frequently, as the steam helps the dumplings cook properly.
Once cooked, serve the dumplings in the soup and enjoy your hearty, flavorful meal!
