Tips for Perfect Southern Dumplings
-
Do not boil hard — simmering keeps them tender
-
Stir gently or they’ll break apart
-
Dough should be soft, not sticky
-
Thicker dumplings = chewier, thinner = silkier
Variations
-
Creamy version: Add a splash of milk or cream at the end
-
Peppery style: Heavy black pepper (very Southern!)
-
Herbed: Add parsley or thyme to the dough
