Some flour from the dumplings will dissolve into the soup and thicken the broth. I recommend using white wheat because it is more visually appealing in the broth than red wheat.
- Mix:
- 1¼ c. wheat flour
- 1¼ c. white flour
- 1 tbs. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. parsley
- Cut in with a fork:
- 3 tbs. shortening
- Add:
- 2 eggs
- Add and stir only until mixed:
- 1 c. milk
- Drop by spoonfuls on top of simmering soup.
- Simmer for 5 min. with the lid off.
- Cover and simmer 15-20 min.
Makes 6-8 extra large dumplings.
