Egg Dumplings
Description
These traditional egg dumplings offer a comforting, rustic texture that pairs beautifully with hearty soups, stews, or rich gravies. Made from a simple batter of eggs, flour, and water, they boil up quickly into soft, chewy bites. Unlike fluffy steamed dumplings, these have a denser, more substantial mouthfeel that holds up well in liquid. They are an excellent way to stretch a meal or add carbohydrate bulk to a simple broth. Perfect for cozy weeknight dinners or as a side dish for international cuisine enthusiasts.Ingredients
Directions
-
Bring 8 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a rolling boil in a large Dutch oven or pot.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup water, 2 cups flour, and 1 teaspoon salt until a smooth, thick batter forms.
-
Using a teaspoon, drop small portions of the batter directly into the boiling water.
-
Reduce heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Drain the dumplings well and serve immediately with your choice of sauce, soup, or gravy.
