Never Fail Dumplings
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons butter, chilled and diced
– 1/2 cup milk
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. Add the chilled, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula, until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
4. Bring a pot of your preferred soup or stew to a gentle simmer. Once the liquid is gently bubbling, it’s time to add the dumplings.
5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering liquid. Leave some space between each dumpling as they will expand while cooking.
6. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they have doubled in size and appear fluffy.
7. Resist the temptation to peek under the lid while the dumplings are cooking, as this can interfere with the rising process.
8. Once the dumplings are cooked through, serve them hot alongside the soup or stew, or simply enjoy them on their own as a delicious snack.

Their fluffy texture and buttery taste make them a delightful addition to any meal, and they have the magical ability to turn a simple dish into a cozy feast.
