Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• 4 cups chicken broth or stew liquid

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped parsley into the dough for added flavor and color.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth or stew liquid to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough directly into the boiling liquid, leaving some space for the dumplings to expand.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let the dumplings steam for 12-15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking to ensure the dumplings remain fluffy.

Step 9

Check that the dumplings are fully cooked by inserting a toothpick – it should come out clean.

Step 10

Serve immediately, spooning the dumplings and broth or stew into bowls. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
