I've never eaten rolled dumplings so wasn't sure what to expect. I cooked them in homemade chicken stock and they were very good - slightly puffy and chewy. Made for Spring 2012 Pick A Chef.

Perfect. I sprinled dried parsley into the dough but I've heard of people doing italian seasoning or any favorite herbs, really. This was as easy to make as a batch of cookies. The higher the fat content of your milk the better. 2% is fine. I frozen a triple batch then pulled them out for our family holiday get together.
