Chicken Broth with Dumplings

 Description

A light chicken broth with herby dumplings. My mum's recipe.

Ingredients

Chicken broth 2l
1 egg
1 tbsp finely chopped greens
(parsley, dill, etc.)
Flour
Salt
Ground black pepper

Instructions

Beat the egg. Add the greens, a pinch of ground black pepper and salt. Start gradually adding a teaspoon of flour at a time, stirring constantly. Continue adding flour until the mixture forms a fairly moist dough.
Bring the broth to a boil. Separate small pieces from the dough with wetted in a cold water coffee spoon and drop them gently into the broth. Boil the dumplings for 10-15 minutes until cooked.

Tip: Try first drop only one piece of dough into the broth. If it spreads, this means that the dough is too liquid. Remove the broken dumpling with slotted spoon and add to the dough a little more flour.
