Total comfort food! I was making Ground Beef Soup (recipe #209470) and I thought, "Who says I have to wait for stew to have some fluffy dumplings?" So I found your recipe and made as directed except I used a gluten-free all purpose flour mix and a little extra milk (about 2 teaspoons) instead of the wheat-based white flour. The result was simply lighter than white flour with an airy texture, as opposed to the chewy texture we used to enjoy when eating gluten. Thanks for sharing this recipe, good2bdunn! Made and enjoyed for Spring 2011 Pick A Chef! :)
