Chef tips
For soft and fluffy dumplings, take care not to over-knead the dough—mixing briefly until just combined is more than enough. During cooking, keep the water at a gentle simmer so the dumplings don't break up. To enhance the texture and flavour, you can swap some of the plain flour for fine cornmeal. These dumplings are lovely served with saucy stews or just a knob of butter and a pinch of salt.
