Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cups Cold water
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cups Cooked shredded chicken (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the egg into it.
Gradually mix the egg into the flour using a fork, then slowly add the cold water a little at a time, mixing until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling. Roll out one portion very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
Cut the rolled dough into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. Repeat with the remaining portion of dough.
Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat, adding shredded chicken if desired.
Gently drop the dumpling strips into the boiling broth one at a time to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the dumplings simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Season the broth with black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your slippery dumplings!
