How To Make Dumplings From Scratch With Flour And Water Boiled Dumpling Recipe

Combine 2 cups of flour, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.5 cups of water in a clean container.

If the dough is too dry, add 1 big cooking spoon of water until the desired consistency is reached.

Knead the dough until it is smooth and well combined.

Set the dough aside to rest.

Put a pot of water on the fire to come to a boil while the dough rests.

Wash your hands to keep everything clean before handling the dough.

Divide the dough into pieces and shape them into dumplings, smoothing out any rough edges.

Roll the dumplings and use a karate chop technique to flatten them slightly, similar to playing with play-doh.

Optionally, make smaller dumplings called 'spinners' for soup.

Once the water is boiling, add the dumplings to the pot. Optionally, add salt to the boiling water.

Ensure there is enough water to boil the dumplings without drowning them.

Cook the dumplings until they are steamed and bubbling.
