Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup butter cut into chunks
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Combine flour, salt, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
  • Cube your butter into small chunks and use a pastry cutter to cut it into the dry ingredients.
  • Add the sourdough discard and egg, then combine. The dough will be sticky.
  • Once your dough comes together, scoop about 1 tablespoon of dumpling dough and form it into a ball like shape.
  • Drop dumplings into a large pot of your favorite soup or stew.
  • Cover pot with a lid and continue simmering for about 15 minutes. Resist the temptation to remove the lid as the steam helps to cook the dumplings. The dumplings will begin to float and expand covering the top of your soup.
  • *If your dough seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of milk. The stickiness can depend on how thick or thin your discard is.
