Tips for Success
🔸 Must use self-rising flour — if you only have all-purpose, make your own:
→ 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt = homemade self-rising flour
🔸 Don’t skip the rest time — it allows the sauce to thicken and dumplings to firm up.
🔸 For a crispier top , broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).
🔸 Want it lighter? Use low-fat milk and reduced-fat soup — just know the texture will be slightly less creamy.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a simple green salad or steamed veggies for balance.
Top with fresh chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color.
Serve with biscuits or cornbread on the side for extra comfort.
