This is one of the easiest, fastest, and best quality dumpling recipe I've ever used! I used whole wheat flour instead of white and they still turned out light and flavorful.

Nice recipe, very nice. I'm using it as a base for some dumpling recipes I've wanted to make myself. Like garlic cheese dumplings, etc. It's turning out very nice.

Dumplings can be a little blah. I added some Parmesan and garlic powder to give it more taste. the next time I added some cheddar shreds that was great too. Both times I added some chicken soup base mix. It really perks up the flavor. soup base is salty to cut back on salt in original recipe.

Very Easy... Used 1/2-1/2 Cream instead of milk & instead of salt used the Weber-Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning...

I hesitantly tried this. I say hesitantly because it looked way too easy and uncomplicated and consisted of ingredients we all have in our house at all times. These were the best dumplings I have ever eaten (better than my mom's - sorry mom). Although I am not so much a fan of stew I find I am making it more often to be able to make these, but just as great on soup too although you need to add a fair amount of extra broth to both soup and stew to be absorbed by the dumplings. No problems though - just use beef broth from a carton. The best!

 Waverunner (Minnesota) says:
There are many variations of dumplings two of which are the "fluffy type" with baking powder allowing the dumplings to rise cake like on top of the stew; the other type is the "drop dumpling" with eggs that absorb the moisture of the entre' being cooked -- eggs are added and baking powder is eliminated. I prefer the first when there is gravy... the last when the entre's is a soup -- in which they get dropped by teaspoonfuls into boiling liquid.

Very good hearty dumplings. Easy to make. Will make again.

Nice and easy. However make sure you use an extra large pot. A large standard soup pot was a bit small causing dumplings to form together. Next time I'm gonna use a large oval pot instead.
