This creamy, savory dish features soft, homemade dumplings simmered in a rich milk broth, perfect for a cozy meal. It is easy to make and deliciously satisfying, with flour dumplings added to milk and sugar for a real breakfast or lunch treat.
Equipment
- 1 Colander
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp all-purpose flour for the milk mixture
- 1/8 tsp table salt
Instructions
The Dumplings
- Put the flour and salt in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly.
- In a different bowl, beat the eggs, then add the cold water.
- Add the eggs and water mixture with the flour mixture. Mix it all up.
- Use your hands to form a round ball of dough.
- Tear off pieces of dough and form them into little shapes. None have to be the same size, but close to it.
- Put a big pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
- Add the dumplings to the boiling water, stirring constantly until they start to float. Turn the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Drain the dumplings in a colander. Run cold water over the dumplings for about 30 seconds, then let the dumplings sit in the sink and drain a bit more.
The Milk
- Pour the milk into the same large pot that was used to cook the dumplings.
- Turn the heat to medium, stirring constantly. Add the sugar to the milk. Mix thoroughly.
- Keep the burner on medium heat and keep stirring as milk will scorch on the bottom of the pot if not stirred. If that's too hot, turn the burner down.
- Add the dumplings to the milk and sugar.
- Keep stirring the ingredients and add the flour to the milk and dumplings. This will thicken the milk a little bit.
- Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the milk and dumplings are heated through.
Notes
- You can add a teaspoon of sugar to your bowl of milk soup with dumplings if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- Buttered toast goes great with this milk soup.
