Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 8 cups Chicken broth (or preferred soup/stew base)

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 the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually stir in the milk, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.

Step 5

Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness using a rolling pin. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangles or strips about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.

Step 6

Bring the chicken broth (or your choice of soup/stew base) to a gentle boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Carefully drop the dumpling strips into the boiling broth one at a time to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Let the dumplings simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.

Step 9

Serve the flat dumplings hot in broth, or alongside your favorite stew. Enjoy!
