Dumplings fill the tummy and go great in soup and stew. My favorite use of dumplings is to boil them in chicken broth and chicken chunks with this and that vegetables thrown in.
Memorize this recipe and use it whenever you want to stretch your food budget and make your family happy at the same time.
Here are the ingredients:
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or water
Sift the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add the liquid and mix to a batter that will drop from a spoon.. Drop by spoonful into boiling soup or stew.
Important: Make sure there is plenty of liquid and that there is no possibility of it boiling dry in the next 20 minutes. Here's why: with dumplings you cannot peak after you put the lid on the pan.
So after you have dropped the dumplings in the boiling liquid put the lid on the pan, make sure it is tight, and cook undisturbed for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how big or small you made your dumplings.
