What are These Dumplings Called?

Dumplings are popular all over the world, and they take on many forms. Potstickers, pierogi, and gnocchi are all different forms of dumplings, but what do we call the type made using our Bisquick Dumpling recipe?

Of course, we can call them Bisquick dumplings. Anyone who has made them would recognize them by that name, but other names could also apply.

This type of dumpling is also commonly called a drop dumpling, because, just like drop biscuits, the dough is typically dropped into soup or stew. Because these dumplings are often served with a stew, another popular name for them is stew dumplings.

While stew dumplings, drop dumplings, and even Bisquick dumplings are popular in Southern cuisine, this type of dumpling is different than Southern dumplings which are typically rolled out and cut into pieces.

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Stir ingredients until soft dough forms.
  • 2
    Drop by spoonfuls onto boiling stew; reduce heat.
  • 3
    Cook uncovered 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes.
  • 4
    Serve dumplings garnished with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Be sure the stew is boiling when you drop in the dumplings, so the bottoms cook well at the start. Lower the heat to finish slowly cooking the dumplings completely, so they aren’t soggy and doughy in the center.
  • tip 2
    Accurately measure out the dry baking mix by spooning it into a standard dry-ingredient measuring cup, then leveling the top with a straight-edge metal spatula or knife; don’t scoop it or pack it down. This ensures the dough will be soft and just the right consistency to cook up light and fluffy rather than dense and chewy.
  • tip 3
    Stir in a couple teaspoons of a favorite dried herb or a seasoning blend into the dry mix before adding the milk, or sprinkle the dumplings with grated Parmesan cheese at the end of cooking time for a savory finish.

More About This Recipe

  • It’s humble, simple foods that are often the ones we love most. It’s no surprise, then, that hundreds of home cooks have given this Bisquick™ Dumplings recipe top ratings. It’s easy, consistently reliable and—best of all—delicious. Food historians believe that steamed or boiled bits of dough often were served to “stretch” meals and satisfy hungry appetites when meat was scarce. In England, boiled dumplings and Yorkshire pudding were prime examples of this culinary strategy. But it often turns out that the filler often becomes the most popular part of the meal, and that’s certainly the case with dumplings, which add a special homemade touch to everything from beef stew to vegetarian chili.
