Weekly Tip From Home

As the Fall weather approaches, I look for recipes that are tasty, nutritious and warm. Today I am posting a recipe from my Grandma Hull. She made the old-fashioned dumplings and dropped them in soups. Try this easy recipe and use instead of rice or pasta in your soups. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

Dumplings

Ingredients
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup milk

Directions
Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in medium size bowl. By hand, cut in butter until well blended and crumbly. Stir in milk to make a soft dough. Now, you have two choices: You may flour a clean counter top and roll out the dough and cut small triangles or just skip this step and drop by spoonfuls into boiling soup. Reduce heat on the soup (or stew) once you add the dumplings)- cover and simmer 15 minutes without lifting lid.

Enjoy!
