Chef tips

To get light and fluffy dumplings, avoid overworking the dough and fry them over medium heat so they rise perfectly and cook through without burning. For a vegan or dairy-free version, use vegan margarine or cold coconut oil instead of butter. Serve warm with sweet jam or a savory spread for a family-favorite breakfast.
