Lightly flour a work surface.

Roll dough to about ⅛-inch thick.

Slice into strips, then cut into small squares.
Drop Dumplings

Skip rolling.
-
Simply pinch off small pieces of dough and shape them loosely by hand for a rustic look.
3. Cook the Dumplings
-
Bring your soup, stew, or fruit filling to a gentle boil.
-
Add a few dumplings at a time to prevent sticking. Cover and cook without stirring for several minutes.

Continue adding in batches.

Once all dumplings are in, reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook 20 minutes, until soft and fluffy.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Spoon dumplings into bowls with plenty of broth, gravy, or fruit sauce. Serve warm for the ultimate Southern comfort.
