Tips:
- Use Fresh Cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal gives the dumplings a more pronounced corn flavor. If you don't have fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's finely ground.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the dumplings tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Let the Dumplings Rest: After mixing the batter, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and make the dumplings more tender.
- Don't Crowd the Pot: When cooking the dumplings, don't crowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve with Butter and Honey: For a classic Southern dish, serve the cornmeal dumplings with butter and honey.
