Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slowly pour in the milk while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this will make the dumplings dense.

Step 4

Bring your soup or stew to a gentle boil. Use a spoon to drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the surface of the liquid. Make sure to space them apart slightly, as they will expand while cooking.

Step 5

Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the dumplings to cook for 12-15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure the dumplings steam properly and become fluffy.

Step 6

Once the dumplings are cooked through, they should be puffed up and no longer doughy in the center. You can test one by cutting it open with a fork.

Step 7

Serve the fluffy dumplings immediately with your favorite soup or stew. For an added touch, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
