Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix - a few lumps are okay!
-
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls and drop them carefully into simmering soup or stew. Alternatively, you can place the dumplings onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for baking.
-
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and cooked through. If you're baking them, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
-
Once cooked, remove the dumplings from the heat and serve them hot alongside your favorite soup or stew.
