Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup BIsquick baking mix (fluffed and levelled in the cup, not packed)
  • ½ cup milk (or sub buttermilk)
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together Bisquick, milk and Italian seasoning just until combined -- don't overmix or they will be tough! The dough should be thick and stretchy (see photos). Add more milk or more Bisquick as needed.

Notes

Tips for making dumplings:
  • Make sure your soup or stew has a good amount of liquid. Don't push the dumplings into the soup but make sure to add a bit of extra liquid before adding your dumplings if necessary.
  • Since Bisquick has baking soda in it, an acidic ingredient will react with it to make them rise. This is why buttermilk is a great swap for regular milk!
  • If you want a golden crust on your dumplings, your best bet is to bake or broil them. For even more browning action, you can add 1 tablespoon of oil to the dumpling dough before scooping onto the soup.
