Now that temperatures are dropping people will be dragging out their crockpots and stew pots and creating warm, brothy elixers. Now, the perfect addition to these steaming pots of soups or stews is a dumping.
There are few things better than a good dumpling.
My gram used to put dumplings in everything from bean soup to pork roast and sauerkraut.
And. I. Couldn't. Get. Enough. Of. Them!
There are as many different recipes for dumplings as there are for soup but my favorite was my gram's Sinker Dumplings. I hope you agree!
Gram's Sinker Dumplings
Ingredients:
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup of milk
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour
Cooking instructions:
Bring salted water to boil (or if putting on soup, bring it to a boil)
1.In large bowl, mix salt, eggs, and milk. After you are done mixing that, add the flour in slowly, while mixing it in. Beat it from underneath to push air in to the dough.
2.Once you have your dough made, drop dough by spoon, one by one, into the boiling water.
3.When you have finished dropping the dough into the pot, put a cover on, and boil for about 15 minutes.
4.When the time is up, carefully pour the dumplings & water into a strainer. Do NOT rinse with cold water!
5.Pour brown gravy over dumplings, and serve!
