Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually stir in the milk using a fork until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
If desired, gently fold in the chopped parsley for an herby note.
Step 5
With your stew simmering gently, use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the surface of the hot stew. Space them slightly apart as they will expand while cooking.
Step 6
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as the steam is essential for cooking the dumplings.
Step 7
After 15 minutes, check the dumplings by inserting a toothpick or skewer into one. If it comes out clean, they are fully cooked.
Step 8
Serve your stew with the fluffy dumplings on top and enjoy the warming, nostalgic flavors.
