Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup cold water
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk the cold water and the egg together until well blended.
Step 4
Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until a sticky dough forms.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes, just until the dough comes together and is smooth. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can make the dumplings too tough.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a small ball or oval.
Step 7
Drop the dumplings directly into a pot of gently simmering soup or broth. Ensure the dumplings are fully submerged.
Step 8
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through. Avoid uncovering the pot frequently, as the steam helps the dumplings cook properly.
Step 9
Once cooked, serve the dumplings in the soup and enjoy your hearty, flavorful meal!
