Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.75 cups milk
- 4 cups water or broth (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold the chopped parsley into the mixture to distribute evenly.
Slowly pour the milk into the bowl, stirring gently with a fork until a soft, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Bring 4 cups of water or broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot or deep skillet.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering liquid, ensuring they don’t overcrowd.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 15–20 minutes. Do not lift the lid while cooking as this ensures the dumplings stay light and fluffy.
After 20 minutes, check one dumpling by cutting it in half to ensure it is cooked through (the inside should not look raw).
Serve the parsley dumplings warm, as a side dish or as part of your favorite soup or stew.
