How to Make Bisquick Dumplings

Here’s how to make this easy and delicious Bisquick dumpling recipe.

1. Combine the Ingredients

Measure the Bisquick by spooning it into a dry measuring cup and leveling off with the straight edge of a knife. Add the milk and stir just until the Bisquick is moistened. Don’t over mix as it can cause dense dumplings.

2. Spoon the Dumpling Dough onto Stew

Bring stew to boiling. With a large spoon, scoop a rounded spoonful of dough (about 2 inches in diameter) and push the dough onto the top of the boiling stew with the back of another spoon. The dumplings should sit on top of the stew, rather than being submerged in liquid.

3. Cook the Dumplings

Reduce heat to simmer. Cook dumplings until the insides have a light and airy texture. To test for doneness, cut through one of the largest dumplings. If it looks gummy inside, continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes before checking again.

4. Serve the Dumplings

Serve dumplings in bowlfuls of stew. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Storing and Reheating

Bisquick dumplings are fluffiest when served freshly made. If you do find yourself with leftovers, here are pro tips for storing and reheating. Remember to store leftover stew or soup with dumplings within 2 hours of serving for food safety.

Refrigerator

Place dumplings (in a single layer) and stew in separate food storage containers with tight-fitting lids. Store in refrigerator up to 2 days.

Freezer

Freezer storage is not recommended as the dumplings will deflate, becoming gummy in texture.

Reheating

Heat soup or stew in microwaveable bowl on medium-high (70%) until hot (about 2 to 3 minutes). Then place dumplings on top of hot stew. Cover and microwave on medium-high (70%) about 30 seconds or until dumplings are heated through. Dumpling texture will be heavier than when first prepared.
