Never Fail Dumplings
- 3 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 1 cup(s) flour
- 1 medium egg(s)
- 6 tablespoon(s) cold water
- 1 tablespoon(s) oil
- 1 teaspoon(s) salt
Beat the egg well then add the 6 tablespoons cold water. Measure the water carefully. Add the oil and salt and whisk together. Mix the baking powder and flour together. Blend the two mixes into a smooth batter quickly.
Drop into boiling stew and cover continuing to boil for 15- 20 minutes. Try to resist the urge to peek too often - the dumplings will rise and produce a light tender crust - a cold draught will cause them to fall.
Yield: 8 dumplings
