Eggless Dumpling Recipes

EASY DROP DUMPLINGS FOR SOUPS AND STEWS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Add the milk and mix. The batter should be thick enough to be scooped and dropped from a spoon. Let it rest for a few minutes.
• Once the boiling stew or soup is nearly done, drop spoonfuls of the batter on top. Be sure that there is plenty of liquid in the pot, but try to keep the dumplings on top of the vegetables and meat.
• Cover and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the dumplings. Do not remove the lid until it is time to check the dumplings; when ready, a toothpick inserted into one of the dumplings should come out clean.
• Once done, spoon the stew or soup with the dumplings into a bowl and enjoy.

GOLDEN SYRUP DUMPLINGS (EGG FREE)

Steps:

• To make the dumplings: Rub the flour and butter together in a large bowl (a small bowl makes lots of mess on your counter).
• Add the syrup and enough milk to make a soft dough.
• Use floured hands to grab cherry sized portions and roll into a ball.
• Place on a floured plate and cover with cling wrap and pop in the fridge (can be done upto 8 hours ahead of time).
• For the sauce:.
• In a medium saucepan (I have 4 kids, so my medium is a good size) add the first 3 ingredients, stir and bring to the boil.
• Carefully drop the dumplings in, a single layer only.
• Boil uncovered for 7-10 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for done-ness, they should resemble a scone inside.
• If over cooked they loose al lightness and go stodgy - so timing is everything! Don't walk away while boiling the dumplings.
• Serve with either whipped cream and/or ice-cream.
• Left over sauce makes a great ice-cream topping.
• Please note - I often make double, due to guests OR a long day with swimming/basketball or other sport events due to 3 sons.
