madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: Parsley Dumplings.
This was an emergency dinner when I had no ert, cooked with a boxed tomato soup.
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1/2 tsp rosemary
3 Tbspshortening unsalted butter (The only use I have for shortening is to season our cast iron pans.)
3/4 cup milk, approximately
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the herbs and mix. Chop in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add enough milk to make a thick batter that can be mounded up in a spoon and dropped.
Drop the dumpling dough from a wet tablespoon onto lightly boiling soup. Cover tightly, reduce the heat, and cook for 15 minutes.
What worked: We made a half batch, which was plenty for the two of us. I actually liked it better than the other recipe I have made before (this one was from a '60s NY Times Cookbook; the previous from the King Arthur Flour cookbook has had a tendency to take over the pot).
What didn't: it was fine.
Will I make it again? Probably. We don't do dumplings very often, mostly when we need to make emergency boxed soup more interesting.
