1 In a bowl, sift together the flour, salt, pepper (if using), and baking powder.
2 In another bowl, mix the egg with melted butter.
3 Add the egg and butter mixture to the dry ingredients, along with enough milk to make a semi-stiff batter (don’t overmix).
4 Drop spoonfuls of batter into the simmering broth. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
