WHITE FLOUR DUMPLINGS (LITTLE HOUSE)

Steps:

• Have a kettle of stew or a skillet of broth simmering on the stove.
• In a bowl, mix dry ingredients well. Pour in 3/4 cup of buttermilk and mix quickly with a fork. Your dough should be soft but too moist for rolling; add remaining milk if needed.
• With a soup spoon drop the dough onto the bubbling liquid, covering the surface. Let simmer on medium low heat until the dumplings puff and lose their gloss (8 to 10 minutes). Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer another 8 to 10 minutes until dumplings are cooked through.
• Dumplings in a skillet an be cooked uncovered by turning them halfway through.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir the milk into the flour mixture until moistened. Dough will be pretty lumpy, but be sure to not over mix it!
• Drop dough by large spoonfuls onto any boiling stew. The dumplings should rest on top of vegetables and meat; it's okay if they stick out of the top a bit. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes; cover and cook another 10 minutes.
