A delightful twist on classic dumplings, these cheesy herb dumplings are perfect for soups and stews.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and dried herbs in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of the leavening agent.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry mixture and stir to combine.
Coating the cheese in the flour mixture helps it distribute evenly in the dough.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and milk.
Ensure the butter is not too hot to prevent cooking the egg.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the dumplings light and fluffy.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough into simmering soup or stew, cover, and cook for 12 minutes.
Covering the pot ensures the dumplings cook evenly in the steam.
Serve the dumplings with the soup or stew and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor.
