Ingredients
To make the classic Bisquick dumpling, you’ll need just two simple ingredients:
- Bisquick mix – 2 cups
- Milk – ⅔ cup
These pantry staples come together to create a soft dough that’s easy to work with. Optional ingredients for variations include:
- Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or rosemary) for added flavor
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, Parmesan, or mozzarella) for a rich twist
- Spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika) to customize your dumplings
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix 2 cups of Bisquick mix and ⅔ cup of milk until a soft dough forms. Be gentle while stirring to avoid overmixing.
- Heat the Stew or Soup
- Bring your chosen stew or soup to a simmer. The liquid should be hot but not boiling vigorously.
- Drop the Dumplings
- Using a spoon, drop the dough onto the surface of the simmering stew or soup. Space them out slightly to allow room for expansion.
- Steam the Dumplings
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let the dumplings steam for 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Check for Doneness
- After steaming, uncover the pot and use a fork to check if the dumplings are cooked through. They should be soft and fluffy, with no doughy spots inside.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Scoop the dumplings along with the stew or soup into bowls. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the comforting taste of homemade Bisquick dumplings!
Optional Variations
For a flavorful twist, stir shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or a pinch of your favorite spices into the dough before cooking. This adds a personal touch to the classic recipe.
