Dumplings Recipe That’s Simple and Fast

Dumplings go great with a bunch of different soups and meals. Just so we get any misunderstanding out of the way right now, these are pretty doughy dumplings.

You might be looking for something like Chinese dumplings or something with the consistency of Matzo balls, but these are different than that. These go well with chicken noodle soup or beef-based soups that you might have for dinner.

Okay, let’s get into what you need to make these dumplings.

What It Is	Name	Where to Buy
Cookware	Pyrex measuring cup	Amazon
Cookware	1 cup measuring cup for dry goods	Amazon
Cookware	1 fork	Amazon
Cookware	1 butter knife	Amazon
Cookware	1 medium to large mixing bowl	Amazon
Cookware	1 large pot with a lid	Amazon
Cookware	1 kitchen scale	Amazon
Ingredient	2 cups biscuit and baking mix (Bisquick or store brand)	Store
Ingredient	2/3 cups whole milk	Store

First thing’s first, grab your medium mixing bowl to start making this dumplings recipe.

Next, get your Biscuit and Baking mix. This was just cheaper, so I went with it instead of Bisquick.

Measure out 2 cups of dry mix into the bowl. Smooth it out on top of the measuring cup with a butter knife.

Following that, grab some whole milk and your Pyrex measuring cup.

Measure and pour 2/3 cup of milk into the bowl with the Biscuit and baking mix for these dumplings.

If you have a whisk, use a whisk but I just used a fork to stir everything around and it was fine for me.

Once everything is mixed around really well, you can start to fill your pot. In hindsight, I should have used my big pot instead of this small one, but this worked well enough.

Once that’s about half to three-quarters full, put it on the stove and turn the stove to high heat.

The, start weighing your dumplings. Each one should be about 50 grams.

Following that, once your water is boiling, put your dough balls into the water.

Then, turn your heat to low and boil a few of the dumplings on low for 15 minutes. Some recipes call for covering up the pot after 10 minutes and boiling the dumplings for an additional 10 minutes covered, but when I did that, my pot boiled over pretty quickly and made a mess.

If you use a pot the size of mine for your dumplings, only cook three or four at a time. Here are some shots of the finished products below:

A couple notes:

The best way to cook these is in your soup. If you just plan on cooking them alone, I would use chicken broth or some kind of broth if I did it again. They actually weren’t that bad the way I did it for this recipe, but they were sort of bland tasting (you could probably guess that would happen).
