Dumplings

I absolutely love dumplings. These are so easy they should be a regular part of your cooking repertoire.

Courses: Side dish
Serves: 12 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 1/2 cups 156g / 5.5ozFlour
3 teaspoons 15mlBaking powder
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt
3 tablespoons 45mlShortening
2 tablespoons 30mlChopped parsley
1 1/4 cups 296mlMilk

Recipe Instructions

Mix dry ingredients and cut in shortening, using a pastry blender, until the mixture is coarse and grainy. Add chopped parsley and, using a wooden fork, stir in the milk. Do not overmix. It should take only a few turns to get a dough.

Drop by large spoonfuls on top of simmering stew or very thick soup. Simmer 5 minutes with the lid off the pot, then cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes longer.

Serve immediately. Makes about 12 dumplings.
