Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually pour the whole milk into the mixture, a little at a time, while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Continue until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix as this can make the dumplings tough.

Step 4

Using a soup or stew as the base, bring the liquid in the pot to a gentle simmer. For best results, prepare about 6-8 cups of broth or a hearty stew as the base.

Step 5

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and gently drop them into the simmering liquid. Ensure there’s enough space between each dumpling as they will expand while cooking.

Step 6

Cover the pot with a lid and cook the dumplings on low heat for 15-20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time, as the steam is crucial for cooking the dumplings evenly.

Step 7

After 15-20 minutes, test by inserting a toothpick into a dumpling. If it comes out clean, the dumplings are done.

Step 8

Garnish the dumplings with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately as part of your soup, stew, or with a light sauce on the side.
