Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
0.75 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons shortening
0.75 cup milk

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Gradually stir in milk until just moistened. The dough will be lumpy, so avoid overmixing!
Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto simmering stew, ensuring dumplings rest on top of vegetables and meat. Leave them uncovered for 10 minutes, then cover and cook for another 10 minutes. Enjoy!
