Tips for Making Amish Dumplings:
- Use fresh ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dumplings will taste.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dumplings tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rest before rolling it out. This will help the dough to become more elastic and easier to work with.
- Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough, the lighter and fluffier the dumplings will be.
- Cut the dumplings into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the dumplings in a well-seasoned pot. A well-seasoned pot will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the dumplings will not cook evenly.
- Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through. The dumplings should be cooked through but still have a slightly chewy texture.
- Serve the dumplings immediately. Amish dumplings are best served immediately after they are cooked.
