Easy Egg Dumplings Recipes

MOM'S SIMPLE DUMPLINGS

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.

EASY DROP DUMPLINGS FOR SOUPS AND STEWS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the flour and salt. Stir to incorporate the dry ingredients.
• Mix in the egg and milk. Let rest 1-2 minutes.
• Make sure that the soup or stew is at a full boil. Either tear off pieces of the dumpling dough and drop into the soup or use a teaspoon to drop pieces of the dough into the soup.
• When the dumplings float, they are almost done. Continue cooking for an additional three minutes.

DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Whilst your stew is bubbling, make the dumplings. Weigh the flour into a bowl and add ½ tsp salt. Stir through the suet and parsley, if using. Make a well in the centre and add 3 tbsp cold water, mix to a dough, adding more water until the dough is firm but pliable. Divide into eight equal pieces and roll in a little more flour into balls. Chill until needed.
• When the stew has about 30 mins to go, arrange the dumplings on top and cover with a lid. With the oven at 160C/140C fan/gas 3, cook the stew and dumplings for 20 mins, then remove the lid and cook for another 10 mins until they're brown and puffed up.
