Bisquick dumplings

[copkid]

Anybody do these? I'm more interested in being able to roll them out, verses doing drop dumplings. Tips? Ideas? I need something quick, rather than struggling with lard dumplings, etc....

Laura, this is all I have. CF

These thick, chewy dumplings are really good as chicken and dumplings,
but I like them baked in cobblers too. Make the cobbler a usual, but mix
dumplings in with the fruit filling, put the top crust on and bake the
cobbler as usual.
4 cups bread flour (Mom used all-purpose)
2 eggs
¾ tsp. salt
Water
Sift the four onto counter top. Make hole in pile of flour. Beat egg yolks;
mix with ½ an eggshell of water, then dissolve salt in this mixture. Place
egg mixture in hole in flour and gradually work flour and liquid together.
Work as much flour into dough as possible, making the dough stiff. Add
water half an eggshell at a time to keep dough stiff until all the flour is
used up. Knead dough until it is soft and smooth. (Bread flour has a
high gluten content and kneading activates the gluten.) Cover with a
damp dish towel and let dough rest for two hours.
Dust breadboard or counter with flour and roll dough out to between 1/8
inch and ¼ inch and in rectangular shape. Dust sheet of dough with
flour and roll like a jellyroll. Slice ½ inch slices from roll. Unroll, shake
out, and lay out to dry. Cut into dumpling-size pieces.
Cook, u n covered, in vigorously boiling liquid for 10 minutes to set
dough; cover and cook another 10 minutes until dumplings are cooked.

For us, we use flour tortillas. Just lay them out on a counter and let them dry for a while, then cut into squares about 1" and cook in the soup. I couldn't tell you a specific time because my mother makes it, and she cooks so much we eat for days off the leftovers.

I ain't a big dumpling fan... Always seemed like big wads of soggy dough to me. Maybe I just ain't had none that was any good. I do like the tortilla idea though!

Try CF's recipe they ain't gonna be soggy, they gonna be chewy and good. This is the type of dumplin I've had all my life.

CF's recipe, other than the flour used and the rise, is just like making pasta! I've got it copied and saved for future experimentation!

The box usually has a recipe for dumplings on it.

Yes, that's true, but they are drop dumplings, which I don't want. It's more fun to ask everyone, as someone might have that one tip or ingredient that is just what I'm looking for.

Yep the only difference at my house is that the pasta dough is made stiffer than dumpling dough and the dumpling dough sometimes has pepper in it.

I made CF's dumplings last night, and they were awesome! I did substitute 1C. Bisquick for one of the cups of flour, and used just a splash of milk instead of all water to moisten the flour. The dough was pretty stiff, and I didn't have two hours to let it rest. I let it rest for about 40 minutes before rolling out. I cut up the dumplings after rolling and let them rest for about 25 minutes. The secret I think is following the cooking instructions, which I followed to a T! They were very, very good!
Highly recommend!! Thanks CF!

When feeling lazy or pressed for time I like to use the cheap canned bisquits; roll em out flat, add a tablespoon or so of chopped chicken or veggies, egg wash the edges, fold and crimp, and throw em back in the broth until done. Our boys always loved stuffed dumplings when they were growing up.

Mom used to do them this way also. A good alternative when you don't have the time to make them from scratch.

I just cooked up a batch of chicken and dumplings on Monday night. I guess it's just getting to be the season! I use flour tortillas as well cut into 1" strips. Works great and ready in minutes. I just finished off the remains today for lunch.
