Chef tips
For soft, fluffy dumplings, be careful not to over-knead the dough—a quick mix until just combined is plenty. While cooking, keep the water at a gentle simmer so the dumplings don't fall apart. To upgrade the texture and flavor, try replacing some of the white flour with fine cornmeal. These dumplings are perfect served alongside saucy stews or simply with a bit of butter and salt on top.
