Ingredients
- 1 cup Cream of Wheat
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 6 cups Water or broth (for cooking dumplings)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cream of Wheat, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The mixture should form a thick but slightly sticky batter. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4
If desired, fold in the chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
Step 5
Bring 6 cups of water or broth to a gentle boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Using a spoon or scoop, drop small portions (about 1 heaping tablespoon each) of the batter into the boiling liquid. Do not overcrowd the pot; you may need to cook the dumplings in batches.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Let the dumplings cook for 8–10 minutes, or until they are puffed up, cooked through, and tender. You can test by cutting one open—it should be fully set with no raw batter inside.
Step 8
Carefully remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving plate.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish, or add them to your favorite soup or stew. Enjoy!
