Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough thin between wax paper.
- Cut into desired shapes or strips.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your dough isn't too sticky; add additional flour if necessary while mixing. If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with cream. When rolling out the dough, aim for an even thickness of about 1/8 inch to ensure uniform cooking. Experiment with different shapes for a fun presentation, perhaps long strips or fun cutouts to match the meal theme.
Serving Suggestions
Slippery dumplings are versatile and can be served as a side with savory dishes, such as stews or fried chicken. They pair beautifully with Betty Whetstone'S Caramel Sweet Potatoes for a comforting meal. You can also toss them in your favorite sauce or broth for added flavor. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs for a pop of color and taste.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover slippery dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, steam them lightly for about 5 minutes, or microwave them in a covered dish with a splash of water to keep them moist. Avoid reheating them too long to prevent them from becoming tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but be aware that it may result in a denser dumpling. You might need to adjust the liquid slightly to achieve the right dough consistency.
What can I serve with slippery dumplings?
Slippery dumplings are great with hearty dishes like chicken and dumplings or vegetable soups. They can also be enjoyed with a drizzle of gravy or a light sauce. Try pairing them with a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
How do I know when the dumplings are cooked?
Dumplings are typically cooked when they float to the surface of the boiling water or broth. Allow them to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes once they float to ensure they are fully cooked through.
