Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon white sugar

½ teaspoon salt

Drop batter by spoonfuls into boiling stew or soup. Cover and simmer without lifting the lid for 15 minutes. Serve.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

To make parsley dumplings, add 1 tablespoon parsley flakes to the dry ingredients.

For a finer consistency, sift the flour mixture.
