Product Information

Pro Tip: If you’re looking for a shortcut, try using self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour. The salt and baking powder are pre-mixed into the flour, so you just need to sift it into a bowl! Step 2: Form the dumplings. Many recipes call for dropping the dough directly into the simmering soup, but we like to let ours rest for a few minutes first. This gives the baking powder time to produce gas bubbles, helping the dumplings stay as light as air! Form them by dropping rounded tablespoonfuls of the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside. Step 3: Drop ’em in. Place your potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water and season liberally with salt. Bring the water up to a boil. Cover the pot and cook the potatoes skin-on for about 20 minutes or until tender. The potatoes are done once they easily slide off when pierced with a sharp paring knife. Drain the potatoes and peel using a sharp paring knife while still hot. Press the warm potatoes through your potato ricer or pass them through a tamis to get a smooth puree.

Roll a piece of dough into a small ball, and then use a floured rolling pin to roll it out into a round shape, roughly 10 cm/ 4 inches in diameter. Minimum life based on 'use-by' date of product.

It’s no problem to keep them in the poaching liquid for a little longer if your main dishes are not ready yet.Thuringia-style dumplings are very minimalistic. Salt and starch are added to the dumpling batter. That’s it. For Bavaria-style dumplings, I like to enrich the dough with egg yolks and butter. Nutmeg and salt are then used to season the batter. Jiaozi can be eaten any time of day, any time of year, as an appetizer, side dish, or main dish. They are the ultimate versatile food item.

Fill a wok (with lid) or metal steamer with water. If using a wok with a bamboo steamer, make sure there’s enough water in the wok to come up the sides of the steamer about 1 cm, to prevent scorching.I also recommend using a pasta roller attachment with an electric stand-mixer to roll out the dumpling wrappers.

But don’t overdo it with the starch unless you want industrial-style rubber gum dumplings. How to cook your potato dumplings The dough needs to rest for just 30 minutes, which is roughly the time you need to prepare your dumpling filling. How to Make Dumpling Wrappers Step 1 In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and melted butter. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until the flour is just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, or the dumplings will become dense.

Wrap each piece of dough in some cling film, and set aside on the kitchen bench to rest for about 30 minutes. During this time, the dough will sweat a little under the cling film (due to the hot water used in the dough).

Roll each piece of dough into a ball, and roll out the dough into a round shape measuring about 10 cm/ 4 inches in diameter. With the liquid still simmering, add frozen dumplings to the pot. Stir gently, then increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil again. As with the Thuringia-style dumplings, you do want to use a starchy potato variety. That way you won’t have to add as much refined potato starch to the dumpling batter. Add the egg yolks, butter, flour, and starch to the warm, but not hot, potato puree. Mix everything briefly and season the dough to taste with nutmeg and salt. Knead briefly so that the seasoning is well distributed.

Due to the hot water, it is best to use an electric stand mixer with a dough hook for this task, but a bowl, wooden spoon and good upper-body strength also works. However, once you mix the ingredients together, you will have to wait for the dough to cool down sufficiently before you can handle it. Making the dumpling wrappers from scratch ensures a soft and chewy texture which you cannot get with ready-made wrappers. Steamed dumplings are not only one of the healthier ways to go, they’re delicious! The outer wrapper stays firm and a little chewy. This is also one of the better ways to cook dumplings if you really want the flavor of the filling to shine through. Want to take your dinner to the next level? Then try the Aunt Bessie's Dumplings.
