Never remove the lid to take a "peek." I prefer a glass lid to see how nicely the dumplings develop. Joy of Cooking has a recipe for prune dumplings, which sounds delicious.

Simply delicious!

Easy peasy. Added garlic powder and used chicken broth and thyme to the mixture. Loved it. Needs way longer than 12 minutes. Mine took 2 hours!

5 stars as usual... could be 10 stars. Any recipe with the initials - CM... IS A WINNER.

Simple easy great tasting dumplings I've ever made!! Love the recipe!

Love the recipe! I added a little more milk.

Perfect for me! Thank you!!

Very good!!

It was so easy to make and came out perfect, it was amazing... Love it!

Excellent starting place. I modified it to be cruelty free with no dairy. Worked great.

Awesome recipe this will be the one I use for my chicken 'n dumpling plus meals. Thanks for sharing, very easy to make!

I was looking for 30 minutes before I found this basic recipe for dumplings, thank you for finally appearing. Most recipes called for bisquick or other strange ingredients.
Made us a happy cold weather finish to the meal. ma

Absolutely love this recipe so light and fluffy!! I make this again and again!!

My Dad liked these cooked in milk, then he would put sugar & cinnamon on them....like a hot dessert!!!

Very traditional recipe that produced excellent results, very light and fluffy. Alternatives:
Savory:
Add mixed herbs (sage and parsley work well)
Grated strong chedder cheese and sundried tomatoes
Fried bacon and onions
Sweet:
Add sugar plus
mixed dried fruit or finely chopped fruit & spice e.g apple and cinnamon
Serve with either vanilla icecream, double (heavy) cream or brown sugar and butter. (These fruit dumplings are similar to 'spotted Dick' pudding and traditionally (in UK) served with brown sugar and butter, very yummy!! )
