Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Low-fat or skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the milk and unsweetened applesauce, stirring until well mixed.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing with a fork or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender dumplings.
Step 4
If desired, fold in fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
Step 5
Heat your soup or broth to a gentle boil.
Step 6
Using a spoon, drop tablespoon-sized scoops of the dough directly into the simmering liquid. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot.
Step 7
Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the dumplings cook undisturbed for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed up and cooked through in the center.
Step 8
Test one dumpling by cutting it in half to ensure it is fully cooked (the inside should not be raw or doughy).
Step 9
Serve immediately, spooning the dumplings on top of the soup or stew as a hearty, low-fat addition.
