Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 1 teaspoon salt divided use
- 6 cups water
- 6 teaspoons chicken base
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, and onion along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook until the onions are translucent. Add the water and chicken base and stir until the chicken base dissolves.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, buttermilk, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the dough just comes together—it will be shaggy.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 1-inch squares, separating the squares as you cut them so they don’t touch one another. Sprinkle the squares with more flour.
- Strain the vegetables from the broth and return only the broth to the pot (discard the vegetables). Bring to a boil. Slowly add the dumplings, a few at a time, stirring as you go.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes to ensure the dumplings are cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
