- Prepare Your Stew or Soup: Bring your favorite soup or stew to a gentle boil in a large pot.
- Drop the Dumplings: Using a spoon, drop tablespoonfuls of the batter directly into the boiling broth. Leave some space between each dumpling for them to expand.
- Cook: Allow the dumplings to cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they puff up and are cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to keep the steam inside!

Notes
To ensure fluffy dumplings, don’t overmix the batter. Make sure your broth is at a rolling boil before adding the dumplings, and keep the lid on while cooking to retain the steam.
