How to Make Baking Powder Dumplings

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 1 large egg.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Add 3 quarts of water, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon oil to a large pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  5. Using a tablespoon, gently drop spoonfuls of dough into the boiling water. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-high. Boil for 5 minutes, undisturbed.
  7. Carefully flip the dumplings using a slotted spoon. Boil for another 5 minutes, or until they are cooked through and float to the surface.
  8. Remove the dumplings from the water using a slotted spoon and drain well. Serve immediately with your favorite stew or gravy.
