Ingredients

2½ cups flour
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt

Directions

The creator confirms the pot is always covered while the dumplings cook. The notebook does not specify a portion size or exact heat beyond cooking the dumplings on top of the dish. Those details are intentionally not invented.

From the Creator's Kitchen

The creator confirms these were her dumplings, prepared by dropping the mixture directly onto whatever soup or broth she was cooking. They cook on top for 20 minutes, rather than being prepared separately. The original short notebook instruction reads: “Mix and drop into broth. Cook for 20 mins.”
