Expert Tips

All-purpose flour is best for this recipe. Other flours will work differently and may alter the cook time.
Be sure the broth is boiling when you drop in the dumplings, so the bottoms cook.
You can add 1 to 2 teaspoons dried herbs to the dumpling dough before cooking for added flavor.
Sprinkle the dumplings with grated Parmesan cheese for a savory finish.
Drop dumplings are used in stews like chicken and dumplings or soups like chicken soup.
