Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup milk
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 large celery stalk, diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the lightly beaten egg and milk gradually to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil. Add the diced carrot, diced celery, and chopped onion to the broth. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dumpling dough (about a heaping tablespoon each) into the simmering broth. Ensure the dumplings have enough space to expand.

Step 6

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the dumplings to cook for 10-12 minutes without lifting the lid, so they cook thoroughly in the steam.

Step 7

Carefully check the center of one dumpling to ensure it is cooked through and no longer doughy.

Step 8

Once the dumplings are fully cooked, sprinkle the ground white pepper and fresh parsley onto the broth. Stir gently to combine.

Step 9

Serve the Dane Dumplings hot, ladled into bowls with the broth and vegetables.
