Fluffy Dumplings (Quick semi-home-made-confort meal)I love these fluffy dumplings the are great in any stews or semi home made by adding to home made soup, and chicken broths etc. At times their so much better than noodles. I'm a dumpling person not tastless noodles. (Try fruit too like apples with apple spices added and of course some sweetner i.e.) When I make them I generally choose a neighbor to make happy! Some think it takes a lot of time cooking but actually it takes less time than you think. The biggest problem is to having basic's on hand for emergency's, do plan ahead by having big cans of stews in the pantry.
FLUFFY DUMPLINGS
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons oil
1 egg slightly beaten
In medium bowl, combine ingredients and mix well. Drop dumpling by an 1/8 ice cream scoop or by the tablespoons into boiling stew mixture. Reduce heat: cover tightly (no peek) and cook 13-16 minutes or until dumplings are fluff and no longer doughy on the bottom. Make a little more than 12 dumplings.( I use 1/8 size ice cream scoop to drop them in the hot stew. You may need to add a can of water in some canned stews?)
Variations to dumplings: Add 1 tbs. chopped fresh parsley and 1/2 tsp. crushed sage leaves finely to the flour etc.
Or, Add 1 tbs. chopped fresh chives or in some recipes add 1/2 tsp crushed basil leaves to the flour.
*You can use these dumplings to chicken and dumplings too.
