3

Stir until batter is smooth and thick.

4

Cut the batter by teaspoon full into a big pot of boiling salted water.

5

Dip the spoon into the hot water each time to keep the batter from sticking to the spoon.

6

Cook only half the batter at a time to avoid crowding.

7

Stir the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon so that the dumplings will rise to the top.

8

After the dumplings rise, let them cook for 2 minutes.

9
