Easy Drop Dumplings for Soups and Stews

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1Gather the ingredients.
2. 2Sift 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon fine salt together in a large bowl.
3. 3Add 1 cup milk and mix until combined. The batter should be thick enough to be scooped and dropped from a spoon. Let it rest for a few minutes.
4. 4Bring 10 cups store-bought or homemade soup or stew to a boil (be sure there is enough liquid in the pot). Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the soup. Try to keep the dumplings on top of the vegetables and meat.
5. 5Lower the heat to medium-low to maintain a lively simmer. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the dumplings. Do not remove the lid until it is time to check the dumplings. The dumplings are ready when they have doubled in size, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. 6Once done, divide the dumplings between bowls and serve.
