Flour Dumplings Sinkersspinners Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in medium size bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk to make a soft dough.
• Drop by spoonfuls into boiling stew. Cover and simmer 15 minutes without lifting lid. Serve.
• To make parsley dumplings, add 1 tablespoon parsley flakes to the dry ingredients.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir the milk into the flour mixture until moistened. Dough will be pretty lumpy, but be sure to not over mix it!
• Drop dough by large spoonfuls onto any boiling stew. The dumplings should rest on top of vegetables and meat; it's okay if they stick out of the top a bit. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes; cover and cook another 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Slowly pour milk into flour mixture, stirring constantly until dough is stiff and holds together.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a bowl and rub butter and flour together until mixture looks like small peas.
• Slowly add enough water to knead to a stiff dough.
• Divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope-like shape about 12 inches in length.
• Cut into 2 inch lengths and drop into boiling soup or stew and cook for about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and slowly add enough cold water to make a stiff dough.
• (A sticky dough makes a soft pasty dumpling.).
• Knead in the bowl or on a lightly floured board until smooth.
• Break off small pieces about the size of a walnut and roll between your hands. It should be similar to a long tube with pointy ends. They're usually about 3-4 inches long.
• Immerse into salted boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes.
• Or add to soups and stews and cook for the same period or longer.

Steps:

• Place the flour in a large bowl and set the bowl on a damp kitchen towel so it won't slip. Add the hot water in a steady stream while stirring with chopsticks or a fork. Stir until all the flour is hydrated and the mixture becomes shaggy. Let stand until cool enough to handle, 2 to 5 minutes.
• Use your hands to gather and knead the shaggy mass into a ball in the bowl. Turn out onto a work surface and knead until slightly elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. The dough should be tacky but not sticky, and it won't look completely smooth. If it sticks to the surface, flour the work surface lightly and continue kneading. Knead into a ball and cover loosely with a clean damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let stand for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Divide the dough in half. Roll one piece to a 1/16-inch thickness. You shouldn't need to flour the surface while rolling, but do so if the dough is sticking. Once the dough is thin enough, lift it off the surface, flour the surface lightly, and place the dough back down. Cut out 3 1/2-inch rounds as close together as possible, then gather the scraps and cover the rounds with the damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining dough and knead those scraps with the first batch of scraps, then let rest for 5 minutes before rerolling and cutting. (See Note for a more traditional way to roll the wrappers.) Use the wrappers immediately for dumplings, such as chile crisp dumplings.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients with clean hands.
• Roll dough out into a"tube" shape on a floured surface.
• Cut into 1" dumplings.
• Drop dumplings into a large soup pot filled with boiling water.
• Boil 20 minutes.
