Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups unsalted chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground black pepper.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and egg. Pour this into the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into small squares or circles, depending on your preference.
Bring the unsalted chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot over medium heat.
Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering broth, making sure they don't overcrowd and stick together. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until they double in size and cook through.
Serve the dumplings hot, either in the broth or as a side dish to your main meal.
