Notes
When dropping the dough into the boiling mixture, make sure to leave some space between each dumpling as they will expand while cooking. For a little extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. Serve the dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful finish.
