BRYANNA'S FEATHERLIGHT DUMPLINGS

   Servings: 8

Yield: makes about 8 dumplings

 

This recipe is from my first cookbook, "The Almost No-Fat Cookbook".

 

1 cup    unbleached white flour (or use 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour)  

1 teaspoon    baking powder  

1/4 teaspoon    salt  

   OPTIONAL: rub in 1 tablespoon oil or Earth Balance  

1/2 cup    soymilk  (or other non-dairy milk)

 

In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Rub in the Optional oil or Earth Balance with your fingers, if desired.

 

Stir in the soymilk to make a stiff dough.

 

Stir briefly just to mix. Drop small spoonfuls of dough on top of simmering stew or thick soup, cover tightly, and cook without peeking for 10 minutes. Test one dumpling to see if it's done in the middle before serving.

 

Note: You can add fresh chopped parsley or other herbs to the flour before mixing.
