Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups unsalted chicken or vegetable broth
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground black pepper.
Step 2
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the dry ingredients.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and egg. Pour this into the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 5
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into small squares or circles, depending on your preference.
Step 6
Bring the unsalted chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 7
Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering broth, making sure they don't overcrowd and stick together. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until they double in size and cook through.
Step 8
Serve the dumplings hot, either in the broth or as a side dish to your main meal.
