I used w w pastry flour and dropped the batter in my stew by the heaping tsps. cook time was a little less than ten minutes (8-9). Light, fluffy and delicious!
I used dried parsley, about 2T, and about 1T of herbes de Provence. Also added a heaping teaspoon of Penzey's Dried Shallots. The dumplings came out great and added a wonderful flavor to the chicken soup. My family was very appreciative. Thanks!
Used some buckwheat flour I needed to use up. Dropped the dumplings into a sausage-cabbage-mushroom soup and they were wonderful--light and flavorful.
