A comforting and delicious recipe for homemade dumplings, perfect for soups or stews.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution.
Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use cold butter for a flakier texture.
Beat the egg and milk together in a small bowl.
Ensure the egg and milk are well combined for a smooth dough.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Do not overmix the dough to keep it tender.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Use a light touch to avoid compressing the dough.
Cut the rolled dough into strips or desired shapes.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean edges.
Boil the dumplings in your choice of broth for 10 minutes uncovered, then cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Ensure the broth is at a gentle boil to cook the dumplings evenly.
Serve the dumplings hot with the broth or stew of your choice.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
