Fluffy dumplings are my family's favorite! I usually only make them with beef stew but when I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it, so I made a quick chicken soup for them. I used about 1/2 pound chicken tenders, cut into chunks & browned in a little oil. Then added some Italian seasoning and enough fresh chicken stock to cover the meat by about 2 inches and turned up the heat to bring it to a boil. While the soup was heating I made up the dumpling dough as directed, using fresh parsley. Size of eggs could be my problem, although they are large, but I found the mixture to be too dry to incorporate all the flour. I added about 1 Tablespoon of milk total, a teaspoon at a time until the dough was mixed. I don't remember how many dumplings I got for sure, usually I make 10 large fluffy dumplings, but I'd guess that I got about 20 Tablespoon sized ones with this recipe. We loved them! My whole family really enjoyed their flavor & especially that there were enough that we didn't have to fight over them! :) We'll be making these again and again. Thanks for posting, Bren!

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my dough was pretty dry both before I dropped them into the soup and after they cooked. I split the recipe in half, but that shouldn't have made a difference. I did make them about 15 minutes before it was time to go into the soup, and the soup was a thick one, maybe they would have worked better in a broth style soup. I think that the seasoning was good, if I could find a way to make them more moist, I'm sure they would be better.
