Light and Fluffy Heavenly Herb-Scented Dumplings for Stew! image

These fluffy little light-as-a-cloud herb scented dumplings are simply heavenly served with my recipe #112055 #112055, or chicken stew. Great comfort food! Use any herb you wish-- try chives, thyme, sage, etc. French thyme, recipe #376859 -or- Herbes de Provence are my favorites.

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons shortening (preferably Crisco butter flavor shortening)
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup snipped fresh herb (you may use chives, thyme, sage or whatever else you prefer,-or- 1 teaspoon dry herbs)
1 1/2 cups milk

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cut shortening into combined flour, baking powder, salt, parsley and herbs until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Stir in milk.
  • Drop by heaping spoon fulls onto hot meat or vegetables in boiling stew (do not drop directly into liquid).
  • Cook uncovered 15 minutes.
  • Cover and cook about 15 minutes longer. Cut a dumpling in half to test for doneness; you want them done but not dry!
  • Serve immediately. Also good reheated the next day.
