Fluffy and versatile dumplings recipe. Perfect for soups or sweet desserts. Easy to make with only 4 ingredients. Try variations like caramilk or cheesy cornbread dumplings. By Sonya Gellert.
Ingredients:
  • 190g (1 1/4 cups) self-raising flour
  • 60g butter, chilled, cubed
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) milk
  • 500ml (2 cups) cooking liquid such as chicken style liquid stock (for savoury dishes) or water (for sweet)
Instructions:
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour and butter, using your fingertips to rub them together until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, if using a food processor, pulse the flour and butter together until they resemble fine breadcrumbs.
  • Create a crater in the middle and gently stream in the milk. Swirl a knife in a cutting motion to blend the dough until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to keep the dumplings light and fluffy.
  • For the drop method: Prepare a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Scoop equal portions of the dumpling mixture onto the tray using two teaspoons. For the cutting method: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead by pressing and turning 4-5 times until smooth. Flatten the dough to 1.5cm thickness with your palm. Use a floured 3cm round pastry cutter to cut out 20 dumplings.
  • In a saucepan over high heat, bring the cooking liquid to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer. Gently drop the dumplings into the hot liquid using a slotted spoon. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Enjoy the dumplings in soups, casseroles, or as a delightful dessert topped with butterscotch sauce, golden syrup, and cream.
