Ingredients

Dumpling Dough Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups flour 155 grams
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt 3 grams
  • 1 teaspoon sugar 4 grams
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder 8 grams
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter cubed or grated, 85 grams
  • ½ cup sourdough starter discard 120 grams
  • 1 large egg 50 grams
  • ¼ cup milk 60 grams

Method

Dough Preparation

  • Combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Add cold, grated or cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture with a fork.
  • Add the egg, sourdough starter, and milk to the bowl, stirring with a spoon until the dough ball is shaggy.
  • Do not knead. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and fold it a few times to work all the flour in.
  • Roll the dough out into a square, about 1/4 inch thick. Use a pizza cutter or bench scraper to cut the dumplings into 1/2 inch squares.

Cooking Dumplings

  • Add the dumplings to a large pot of boiling soup immediately on medium to medium-high heat or save for later use.
  • After 15 minutes, use a soup spoon to lift a couple of dumplings out and test them with a fork to see if they are done.
  • If they aren't ready, turn the soup temperature down to low, wait 5 minutes, and check again.
