Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons cold butter
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring gently with a fork until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Bring a pot of soup, stew, or salted water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or a small scoop, drop the dough into the simmering liquid. It’s okay if the dumplings appear rough or uneven.
Step 6
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 12-15 minutes without lifting the lid, as the steam is essential for cooking them evenly.
Step 7
After 15 minutes, remove the lid and check that the dumplings are cooked through. They should be firm and fluffy, with no raw dough in the center.
Step 8
Serve the dumplings warm, optionally garnished with chopped parsley for extra flavor and presentation.
