Submitted by Kat2355

"Very easy to make. Adds a very tasty and filling component to any soup. Extra soup keeps well."

• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 packet soup stock

2. To make dumplings, dip a spoon into soup that is softly boiling for a second.
3. Then scoop a small amount of dumpling and dunk it in the soup.
4. The dumpling will immediately fall off the spoon and plump up.

A very easy, but nice way to make dumblings, that just might encourage the new cook to put away the can opener for awhile.

12/14/08: I added a little baking powder to the recipe to make them fluffy. These were delicious! Thank you Kat. 12/20/08: Much better when I followed the recipe. Thank you again!

Excellent dumplings I have made several times now. Think I am addicted! When I didn't have a packet of soup stock,I used 2 or 3 teaspoons beef (or chicken) soup base mix and reduced the salt. I have also cooked the dumplings separately in broth or water. Then I place some dumplings in each soup bowl, then ladel hot soup on top. Yummy.Thanks for a 'keeper' Kat.

YUM! I've been looking for a dumpling to substitute for the one I grew up eating (it's made with a certain flour from Ulm, Germany, and they just won't ship MutschelMehl!). My whole family went to bed last night with happy dumpling-filled tummies. AND OH SO EASY! Thank you! - April in Austin (Texas)
