Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs, salt, and milk together until well combined.
- Add enough flour to the mixture to form a stiff dough that is firm enough to roll out.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface.
- Cut the rolled dough into 3/4-inch wide strips.
- Cut the strips into 3 to 4-inch long pieces.
- Drop the strips into hot broth and cook slowly for about 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs like parsley or chives to the dough. If you don't have milk, water or broth can be used as a substitute. Make sure to work the dough gently to avoid tough dumplings. If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add more flour until you reach the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the dumplings in a rich broth, perhaps alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Oven-Baked Chicken And Gravy, creating a hearty dish. Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooked dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them gently in a pot of warm broth to maintain their texture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them rubbery. For longer storage, freeze uncooked dumplings, then cook directly from frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dumpling dough ahead of time. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Allow it to come to room temperature before rolling it out to ensure it is pliable and easy to work with.
What type of broth is best for cooking the dumplings?
A flavorful chicken or vegetable broth works best for cooking the dumplings, enhancing their taste. Homemade broth is ideal, but store-bought options are convenient as well. Ensure the broth is simmering gently before adding the dumplings to cook evenly.
Can I add vegetables to the dumpling mix?
Absolutely! Finely chopped vegetables like spinach, carrots, or mushrooms can be mixed into the dough for added nutrition and flavor. Just make sure to adjust the flour amount slightly to accommodate the moisture from the vegetables to maintain the right dough consistency.
