These old fashioned dumplings were meant to be dropped straight from a spoon into a kettle over simmering meat for a simple, filling supper. Recipes like this were kitchen basics for generations, stretching broth into a hearty meal with just flour, baking powder, milk, and a little time on the stove.
2 cups flour
2 heaping tbs Baking Powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk or water
Stir and drop from spoon into kettle over meat.
Boil with cover off 15 minutes then cover and boil 5 minutes longer.
