Light And Fluffy Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients together so that it is sticky but able to drop from a tablespoon. Last 15 minutes before serving your stew or soup drop in broth with a tablespoon(you can make them smaller but they puff up as you can see in the photo)cover and cook for the remainder of time. Will make 6 very good sized dumplings, but could make as many as 10. Don't lift the lid while cooking.

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt. In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks until foamy. In another clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until they hold peaks (egg whites should still be shiny and not separate into chunks). Set aside.
• 2. Pour milk into saucepan, Using a whisk, gradually stir flour/salt into milk.
• 3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from heat.
• 4. Add butter, stirring until melted. Slowly stir a little of the hot milk mixture into the eggs yolks to temper, then add the rest of the egg yolks. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
• 5. NOTE: Before folding in the egg whites, you can add herbs to suit your taste such as parsley or thyme. Parsley adds a nice mild flavor to your dumplings but be careful not to add too much!! It can be overpowering. I use 1 sprig fresh parsley minced finely or 1 tbsp dry. mix well and then fold in the egg whites.
• 6. Drop mixture from spoon into any boiling stew, gravy, or soup (drop in small portions), let boil for 6 minutes without lifting cover. Will be light and delicious!

Steps:

• Stir ingredients until soft dough forms.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto boiling stew; reduce heat.
• Cook uncovered 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder and salt.
• Beat egg until light and fluffy and add to dry ingredients.
• Stir in milk.
• Drop by tablespoons on gently boiling vegetable gravy.

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:

• Put the flour, seasonings, & suet in a large mixing bowl, mix thoroughly.
• (If you are adding herbs or extra seasonings, add them now & mix well.).
• Add sufficient cold water - bit by bit - to make a pliable dough; it should not be too sticky, but just bound together.
• Divide the dumpling mixture into 8 portions, and roll into small balls with floured hands.
• Drop them into your soup, casserole or stew 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time, making sure that the soup, stew or casserole is very hot.
• Put the lid on IMMEDIATELY and do NOT take the lid off until just before the end of the cooking time, about 15-18 minutes to check that they are nearly ready.
• They should have doubled in size at least, and be very light & fluffy looking!
• Ladle the soup, stew or casserole into warmed soup bowls & serve 2 dumplings per person.
• Oven baked: place the dumplings on top of your stew or casserole and cook for about 30 minutes at 200C or 400F, or until well risen, golden brown & crusty.

Steps:

• 1. Stew your own chicken for the broth or use ready made chicken broth. Put 4 cups of the chicken broth (reserve 1 1/2 cups for dumplings), the stick of butter, and the poultry seasoning in a large pot and have this SIMMERING on medium low heat on the stovetop.
• 2. Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add the reserved 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and mix. The dough will be sticky.
• 3. Mound the sticky dough onto heavily floured cutting area and sprinkle the top generously with more flour. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• 4. Now roll out the dough to a 1/8 inch thickness and let rest for another 15 minutes.
• 5. As I cut into squares, I cut and scoop up each dumpling and place in the simmering chicken stock. The extra flour from the dumplings will thicken the broth.if
• 6. DO NOT BOIL or they will fall apart! Add all the dumplings as you gently separate them in the stock. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.
• 7. Serve as a side dish or if you like, add cooked chicken for chicken and dumplings. Yum Yum!

Steps:

• In a bowl sift together the flour, salt, black pepper (if using) and baking powder.
• In another bowl mix the egg with melted butter; add to the dry ingredients with enough milk to make a semi-stiff batter (do not over-mix, you might use a little more than 2/3 cup milk).
• Drop by a teaspoon into simmering soup or stew.
• Cook covered for about 18-20 minutes and NO PEEKING for the first 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cut shortening into combined flour, baking powder, salt, parsley and herbs until mixture resembles fine crumbs.

• Drop by heaping spoon fulls onto hot meat or vegetables in boiling stew (do not drop directly into liquid).
• Cook uncovered 15 minutes.
• Cover and cook about 15 minutes longer. Cut a dumpling in half to test for doneness; you want them done but not dry!
• Serve immediately. Also good reheated the next day.
