Anyone have a fluffy dumpling recipe and technique to share for this dish?

Variations...add dry parsley..and lots of black pepper.
Add cheese
Sub butter milk for regular.
For making with kraut, I might add some cumin seed....or perhaps caraway seeds.
If the kraut isn't juicy enough to cook the dumplings....add a bit of broth....or even water.
Sounds yummy!!

2 cups Bisquick baking mix
2/3 cup milk
Directions:
1In a medium bowl add Bisquick mix and milk stirring until a soft dough forms.
2Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto boiling stew and reduce heat.
3Cook dumplings uncovered for 10 minutes. Cover pot and cook an additional 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Saw some recipes online for dumplings made with an egg. I knew that wasn't in Bisquick, but anyone make those kind?

Dumplings
(From "A Texas Hill Country Cookbook")

Ingredients:

1 stick margarine*
1/2 stick butter*
2 C boiling water
2 C sifted flour (AP)
1 tsp salt**
4 eggs
1/4 to 1/2 C flour***

*All butter or all margarine can be used successfully.
Using all margarine may call for a little more flour.

**Plain salt can be replaced with seasoned salt you like,
that will compliment your finished dish.

***This is for rolling them out.
Omit if you drop them from a spoon.

Method:

Melt margarine and butter in boiling water.
Add 2 C flour and salt.
Stir & cook over low heat until mixture leaves sides of pan.
(This happens quickly)

Cool slightly.
Add eggs, one at a time,
Stirring well after each addition.
(I use my hand mixer to beat each egg in.)
Pat dough out on floured surface,
with hands & rolling pin.
Cut into squares,
drop into gently simmering broth.
And cook until done.
A very short time.

This is a pretty wet and sticky dough,
so I prefer to use a small cookie scoop
And just drop them into the broth,
rather than rolling them out.

Either way, they quite literally melt in your mouth.

It is good to cover the pot while they simmer.
It helps them rise up higher.

Enjoy!

As for sauerkraut, I always rinse my homemade kraut, not because it's too sour but because it's too salty for me otherwise.

I make dumplings like LindaC, but Elery detests dumplings of any type, even the noodle/slider ones, so I never make dumplings any more. Yeah, I know,w hat kind of southern boy is he anyway?

He says he ate so many chicken and dumplings when he was a kid that he NEVER wants them again. He doesn't like gravy either!

That's the only way I know to tell when they are done. . .

Good luck,, I hope you like them!

I've never tried dumplings with sauerkraut before.
But I will!
