Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
• 6 cups chicken broth or stew base

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Pour the milk into the bowl, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing for tender dumplings.

Step 4

If using fresh parsley, finely chop it and fold it into the dough for added flavor and color.

Step 5

Bring your chicken broth or stew base to a gentle simmer in a large pot. Ensure the liquid is flavorful, as the dumplings will soak it up.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, gently drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering liquid. Space them apart slightly, as they will expand while cooking.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time, as the steam is essential for properly cooking the dumplings.

Step 8

After 15 minutes, check that the dumplings are cooked through by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center of one. It should come out clean.

Step 9

Serve the dumplings immediately in the broth or alongside your favorite stew. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
