Such a simple and great recipe, thanks for posting! I made these last night to top my chicken stew. I used 1% milk and microwaved it with the butter. Added some parsley flakes to the flour along with a pinch of extra salt. Cooked for 15 minutes and they were wonderful. We have extra stew left and I will have to whip up another batch for the leftovers.

    What can anyone add to the many reviews at this point? I made the recipe to use in the crockpot. They turned out just fine! I made as directed and placed the balls on top of a thick beef stew in crockpot and then cooked on high for around an hour. The texture was very fluffy like a biscuit rather than slick or dense like many dumplings. I do think an oval crockpot would be needed for the full recipe. The dumplings after rising completely covered the top. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

    These are the best!I've tried to make dumplings before, but they came out rock hard. These were light, fluffy, and delicious. I added a half tsp of chicken bullion granules to the milk, and upped the salt to 1/2 tsp. Perfect! I will use these for every dumpling dish from now on.

    These were very good. Next time I'll add just a little more salt. Had with a brothy vegetable soup. I think next time I'll also add some grated parmesan. Easy to make. I'll do this one again.
