Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
• 4 cups soup or broth

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

If desired, fold in the chopped fresh parsley for an herby touch to your dumplings.

Step 5

Bring the soup or broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or a small scoop, drop dollops of the dumpling dough into the simmering liquid. Do not overcrowd the pot as the dumplings will expand while cooking.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fully puffed up and cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid unnecessarily, since the steam is crucial for proper cooking.

Step 8

Gently stir the pot to ensure the dumplings are not sticking to each other or the bottom, then remove it from the heat.

Step 9

Ladle the soup or stew with fluffy dumplings into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy this comforting Danish classic!
