This recicpe makes delicious dumplings that can be used in many dishes in place of noodles to give your soups or stews that “old world” feeling. I use this recipe when I make Chicken Paprikash (See recipe under “Grand Insky’s Corner” or even when we do regular Chicken and Dumplings. They’re pretty versatile and what’s best is when you have leftovers, you can fry these up with some butter and onions and serve it as a side dish to any meal.

Instructions
Home Made Dumplings
- In a large pot, add water 3/4 full and bring to a boil. Lightly salt the water .
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the flour, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in your mixing bowl until it forms the consistency of a biscuit dough.
- Slowly add 1/4 cup of warm water and mix, adding more water a little at a time until the dough becomes a batter and reaches a consistency of a thick pancake batter.
- Once you have the consistency you need, take a teaspoon or tablespoon and start scooping the batter a little at a time into the boiling water. Try to get all of your batter out of the bowl if possible and let it boil for about 10 minutes or so. Make sure to stir frequently to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom. Your dumplings should float to the top.
- Once your dumplings are done, go ahead and strain in a colander and put back into the pot or a large bowl or container to serve.
- Salt and Pepper to taste!
- ENJOY!
