Old Fashioned Whole Wheat Dumplings
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Dumplings
Ingredients
  • Large pot of stew or soup (these are great in chicken soup)
  • 2½ cups freshly milled flour (I use hard white wheat)
  • 1½ teaspoons real salt
  • glass of ice water (you will use about ¾ cup)
  • extra flour for rolling surface
Instructions
  1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour and salt. Have your floured surface ready.
  2. Slowly add ice water to flour mixture until you can stir it stiffly. In other words, you want to be able to stir it slightly but the dough should be very stiff. I often use my hands to mix. The amount of water will depend on humidity levels in your house and other factors.
  3. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead just a few times.
  4. Press the dough down with your hands then roll it to about an ⅛ inch thickness.
  5. Cut the dough with a pizza cutter or knife into ½ inch thick strips (or any desired shape).
  6. Let the dough rest for 15-40 minutes. You want the dough to be stiff but still able to lay across your hand when held up.
  7. After the dough has rested, drop them into soup or stew that has a rolling boil.
  8. Cook until desired doneness is reached (approximately 5 minutes). The soup will thicken as it cools.
