Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (chilled)
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly combined.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the chilled, unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to avoid warming the butter.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the whole milk a little at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky, but not overly wet or dry.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 5 minutes while preparing your broth, soup, or stew on the stovetop.

Step 5

Bring the broth, soup, or stew to a gentle simmer. Ensure there is enough liquid for the dumplings to float and cook evenly.

Step 6

Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the dough into the simmering liquid. Space them apart slightly to allow for expansion.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a lid and cook the dumplings for 10 minutes without lifting the lid. The steam is essential to cook the dumplings thoroughly.

Step 8

After 10 minutes, remove the lid and check the doneness of the dumplings by piercing one with a toothpick or knife; it should come out clean.

Step 9

Serve the dumplings warm, spooned over the broth or alongside your favorite stew. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an optional touch of color and flavor.

Step 10

Enjoy these comforting dumplings with family and friends, just like Grandma intended!
