Note
These dumplings are best served immediately after cooking, as they can become soggy if left in the soup for too long.
The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape briefly before dissolving into the liquid; if it's too runny, add a little more flour.
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of black pepper or dried herbs like dill or parsley to the batter.
Ensure the soup is simmering, not boiling vigorously, to prevent the dumplings from breaking apart.
