Homemade Dumplings

Ingredients:

1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, slightly beaten egg, baking powder, salt, and milk. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Roll the dough out to a ¼-inch thickness and cut into small squares or your preferred shape for dumplings.

Drop the cut dumplings into a pot of simmering stew or soup, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes. They will become light and fluffy once fully cooked.

Serve hot over your favorite soup or stew for a comforting, hearty meal.
