Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
1 tablespoon finely minced chives
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 egg
3 to 4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the parsley, chives and pepper.
Beat the egg and stir in three tablespoons of milk. Using a fork, lightly mix the egg mixture into the flour, just until all the ingredients are moistened and hold together to form a soft doughy batter.
Shape the batter into rounds and drop them into simmering stock or water. Allow them to cook for 10 minutes.
