Dumplings

[hokeypokey]

This is how I make dumplings, but I don't think they are tender enough. What can I do different ?

2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
Mix 1 whisked egg
Enough milk to make a stiff dough

hokeypokey,
Plus the comment about butter. Your recipe doesn't have enough fat. Bisquick has the shortening in it to make a great dumpling. Try this or adding the butter.

Ahhh ! Thanks for the tip. I'll note this on my recipe card and make them tomorrow !

A bad noodle, maybe, but never a dumpling.

I would add a couple of tablespoons of melted butter to milk and egg before combining with dry ingredients. Don't make the dough too stiff.
