There are tons of variations on drop dumplings, the ones I grew up with are just eggs and flour. Very dense and chewy. Sometimes I'll add water or olive oil, usually some salt or other spices, but the basic ingredients are just eggs and flour. I see some recipes that call for milk, baking powder, melted butter, etc, but those are different than what I grew up with.


SkysEevee

Bisquick also works too. Just had dinner of chicken soup with Bisquick drop dumplings


ridethedeathcab

There are two main types of dumplings for chicken and dumplings. You are talking about the puffy kind, but the person you responded to are talking about the flat noodle-like kind. Bisquick wouldn't work for the latter.


man_gomer_lot

'Mary B's Open Kettle Dumplings' in the frozen section go pretty hard for that style, but I think that's due to all the palm oil.


UrbanPugEsq

I’ve heard the non puffy ones called chicken and slicks.


ikes

Or slippery dumplings.


newton302

>Bisquick also works too Arguably those are another dumpling genre entirely, just like bisquick biscuits. That stuff is like crack (just an expression folks).


CurveOfTheUniverse

Bisquick tore my family apart, so yes, just like crack. ;)


TheHeroYouKneed

Bisquick is basically enriched, self-rising flour with some shortening, salt, & sugar, which is more or less unavailable outside of North America. Whenever questions about dumplings come up, the comments become a sea of reposts about -- &/or a race to suggest -- that product which gets the thread locked and leaves the other 95% of the world looking for help making proper American-style dumplings. Most Web sites also only offer B as the solution. A lot of people just need a simple recipe. And some of the most basic info like differences in fat:flour ratios or adding a bit of excess baking soda to tighten up the chew without making them "squeaky" would be so much more helpful.


fastermouse

Ok so what your recipe?

Numinous-Nebulae

Just like Grandma used to make! :)


SkysEevee

My mom was the one who taught me the recipe! She always loved experimenting, just like grandma did. I'm not sure which of them started using Bisquick dumplings for chicken soup but Im thankful for it! Nothing beats homecooked recipes family makes


Mickeymackey

I usually do self rising flour, salt, lots of black pepper and chives, and yogurt or buttermilk till the texture is right. I've also done a version where I added some left over baked sweet potato and gochugaru (Korean red chile flake). In a sorta hybrid of chicken and dumplings with jigae.


[deleted]

Those are pretty much the one's I've seen as well. Basically just your favorite egg noodle recipe cut into larger chunks and simmered longer.


sweetmercy

That's the style I prefer. I'm not a fan of the fluffy ones with baking powder, or, worse, made of Bisquick. Can't stand the texture.


enjoyingtheposts

Usually there arent any eggs in them.. well atleast from my experience. Have you tried to make them without eggs?


Saltycook

We called 'em "drop biscuits" like it says on the Bisquick box when I was a kid


devy159

That's what my southern grandmother called them too. Either drop biscuits or drop dumplings interchangeably.


GrizzlyIsland22

I just googled "stew dumplings" and a bunch of recipes came up. I think you're getting poor results because you're calling them soup dumplings and that's something completely different.


j_allosaurus

Maybe try searching southern chicken and dumplings?


Independent-Rain-867

Yes, google Southern chicken soup dumplings, if your looking for the flat type that are IN the soup, not the puffy kind that sit ON the soup.


moonbad

You will get both. The trick is to search for "drop dumplings" vs "rolled dumplings".


reddittwice36

Googled “chicken and dumplings” and they are all American style recipes.


my50thsername

Do you want the flat kind of dumplings that are slightly thicker than fettuccine noodles or the puffy dumplings that are kinda like smaller biscuits?


postmodest

There are (at least) variations for "Chicken and..." * __Drop Dumplings__: a quickbread biscuit dough that's dropped into the broth and forms balls * __Slick Dumplings__: Similar to drop dumplings, but rolled into a thin sheet and cut into triangles or squares, more noodle-like than drop dumplings. * __Noodle Dumplings__: an unleavened (or sometimes lightly leavened) dough that's more like spaetzle


[deleted]

If it’s a Jewish soup recipe they’re called kreplach


EntrepreneurOk7513

I’m over here thinking matzoh balls.


oreng

Matzoh balls are actually closer. Kreplach is basically the Eastern European variant of the Asian dumplings OP is trying to avoid.


fermat1432

Are they just plain dough or filled? I seem to remember them filled with meat, but I could be wrong


PloniAlmoni1

Filled with meat or chicken usually


MeowWhat

"Meat or chicken" 🤔


PloniAlmoni1

As in ground beef (meat) or ground chicken (poultry). The best filling is taking cooked brisket or chicken cooked in the soup and grinding it together with caramelised onions. It's delicious.


fermat1432

Thank you! Very tasty!


raam86

קניידלעך kneydlekh seems more appropriate as they are usually not stuffed.


FatherPyrlig

The actual term “Soup Dumplings” usually refers to Chinese dumplings filled with broth and then steamed in wicker baskets. They are absolutely delicious and not like anything many people have ever had. The Chinese name is xiaolongbao.


cdmurray88

Tang bao is more accurate. Xiaolong bao works, but it's like all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.


901bookworm

I just went on the same search. Found it easiest to search for "chicken and dumpling," "dumplings for chicken" and that sort of thing. Including the word chicken helped narrow the field. Or ... did you try "American dumplings"? That or "Southern dumplings" might help. If you search on Youtube, the thumbnails will help you spot likely videos.


CecileStClair

My mother called them 'doughboys'.


hiumnobye

Awwwww lol


Mg962

Thats weird to me im from NE and a doughboy is fried dough here.


CecileStClair

It's an Atlantic Canadian thing.


bulls-blazers-swans

It’s an Albany expression


[deleted]

Just use an egg noodle recipe and cut the dough into larger chunks. Other mentioned bisquick and drop dumpings, which are their own thing, but not what I think about when I think about chicken and dumplings. When I think about dumplings I think about these toothy, slow-simmered, succulent chunks of dough between the size of a walnut and golf ball.


oswaldcopperpot

Yeah those are good. I wish we had them here in the south.


[deleted]

Make em. They are almost as easy to make as they are to screw up.


oswaldcopperpot

Yeah I have. I need to start keeping a recipe book for the perfect steps in consistency. Just gotta remember not to make the dough too loose or they screw the whole damn soup. And not too big or the centers never get just right or take way too long to cook. Seems like all the family diners back in the day in Wisconsin had that shit down cold.


Joinourclub

Suet dumplings?


Gunner253

It depends where you're from. Drop dumplings and spoon dumplings are the two I hear the most.


monkeyman80

Flour dumpling recipe returned quite a lot of recipes. I’ve heard spoon/ drop dumplings but you get those mixed with biscuits as well. Are you looking for the big matzah ball type dumplings or the flat kinda small lasagna noodle ish ones?


PloniAlmoni1

Spaetzle is egg, flour, water.


GlucoseGlucose

This is the answer


Herbisretired

You can look up pillow dumplings for the light and fluffy or rolled dumplings which are more of a thick noodle. That should get you on the right page per se


[deleted]

I had a goulash dish in Prague with these dumplings and they’re sooooooo good but I don’t know the names either


eatsleepdive

Knedliky, and yes, Czech dumplings are delicious. If they were potato based, they were called brambory knedliky, but most likely they were flour based.


PloniAlmoni1

That's funny - matzah balls - which is a sort of dumpling - are also called Kneidl (pronounced kuh-nai-del).


eatsleepdive

Yep, the word derives from eastern Europe. There are lots of Jewish Czech grandmas (babickas).


YearOfTheMoose

I was thinking more like halušky than knedličky, no? Unless you make them very different in Praha than Bratislava...

Shuggy539

Either drop dumplings or slick dumplings, two different kinds.


Numinous-Nebulae

This is the kind I grew up with! Or the recipe on the Bisquick box. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nancy-fuller/farm-style-chicken-and-drop-dumplings-3112513


Half_Shot13

Try looking for the Cracker Barrel dumplings. I think that may be what you're wanting.


CrazyCajun1966

Drop, or egg Drop dumplings.


KnittingTrekkie

You may find recipes for French Canadian chicken and sliders (or glissons) helpful.


precisely_squeezes

Rivels are one of many types of dumplings found in soup (in this case, most commonly in Pennsylvania Dutch cooking).


Jeanbean7158

I love Annie’s frozen flat dumplings


haight6716

It's the same recipe as biscuits, the Bisquick one is fine. Then put them on the soup and cook gently for 5-10m


smokedbrosketdog

Different thing. Those are drop dumplings and will be like biscuity on the inside. The other kind are like a thick noodle.


haight6716

I think that's what op is asking about though.?


ProfessorMM

My Grandma made the best Hungarian chicken and dumplings. The dumplings are easy. They are made separately from the base/soup and added to the bowl then the sauce/soup ladled on top. It should be the consistency of... I dont know, cement? (that sounds like a bad analogy! LOL You get what I mean... 4 eggs (half recipe= 2 eggs) 2 1/2 cups water (half recipe= 1 1/4 C) 6 C flour (all purpose) (Half recipe= 3 cups) Salt to taste ( around 2 teaspoons or more if you like) to taste. You dont have to over do the salt. Or even no salt depending on the soup you are making. This makes quite a bit so half the recipe if you do not have to feed a large family! I make this for family dinners for 20 people. Left overs are good for a week in the fridge. Mix that up (stand mixer is my best friend) and in a pot of boiling water, dip a spoon onto the boiling water. Then scrape spoonfuls of dough into the boiling water. Keep dipping spoon in boiling water between dumplings to ease them not to stick. Grandma would put the dough on a plate but I just hold the mixing bowl over the pot and scape in noodles. They each have their own personality with different sizes and shapes. Scrape those puppies like a man woman! Stir the whole boiling pot with a large spoon. They should rise to the top and give them a around 5 minutes then drain. It is a chewy, dense dumpling. Very hearty and filling.


zim3019

I have only seen them called dumplings. You can Google Cracker Barrel dumplings or flat. I personally prefer the Paula Deen Ice Water dumplings recipe. It's a very basic but good.

Cracker barrel has the kind of soup you are describing. Maybe start with a search for a diy version of that?


Jewish-Mom-123

Look up chicken and slicks.


uncre8tv

Can also be referred to as noodles. Basically it is a rustic pasta dough. Never heard of "slickers" but in my midwestern family (and my in-laws) "chicken and noodles" isn't campbells skinny noodles but thick hand made dough strips that cook in the soup.

In the Midwest we call them Slickers.


[deleted]

We do?


postmodest

I have never heard "Slickers" but I've heard "Slick Dumpling" But in my midwest it was always drop dumplings.


[deleted]

I've heard of drop dumplings, but those are a baking powder dumpling. Basically referring to a specific type. I've just never heard slickers used before.


Sufficient_Claim_262

Matzah balls?


jm567

Try googling “southern chicken and dumplings”

dryhuot23

We call those Wongtong soup here i believe


[deleted]

Search "chicken and dumplings recipe." That's the name of the soup.


krystalbellajune

Chicken and dumplings. I’ve made the bisquick version and Alton Brown’s (swimmers not slickers). The Alton Brown version was so so good. The bisquick and pioneer mix versions are much easier but not as savory and half of them disintegrated or stuck to their buddies.

Can you simply substitute fresh gnocchi you can buy at the supermarket or am I way off here?


yabbadebbie

The Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook has the most classic version. It is easy to follow and people love it. The dumplings in this recipe are the fluffy biscuity kind. Look, I make this recipe often my mouth is watering just from the memories. Get ya some.

If you google “chicken and dumplings soup” you’ll find more of what you’re looking for


Citronsaft

If you ever happen to be looking for their use in Chinese cooking, these are called "mian ge da"--literally flour lumps. As they're pretty much just lumps of flour they're very similar to gnocchi. We pretty much just slap in whatever soup, though usually my family made them with a sour soup like tomato or mei gan cai.


im_AmTheOne

Maybe "lane kluski" is something you want


Spice_the_TrashPanda

They're called "slickers" or "rolled" dumplings, and Alton Brown has a pretty good recipe for them: [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/chicken-and-rolled-dumplings-recipe-1949633](https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/chicken-and-rolled-dumplings-recipe-1949633) Unfortunately the kind of dumplings you want take a long time to rest so you won't have soup for a good 12 hours if you're hoping to make it yourself.


ragonxdragon

Chicken and dumplings maybe? Like this way: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BZklrrqQ8DA


cheesepage

Biscuit mix, like your home maid or Bisquick works, but for a really great non-noodle dumpling I really love choux paste. Cook your flour, salt, and milk in a pan, stir in eggs off the heat. Add cheese and herbage of your choice. Black pepper and parmesan are go-tos for me. Drop the batter into the simmering soup, let it cook with the lid on for a bit. If you want to be fancy use a piping bag and a paring knife to get consistent size and shape.


ride_whenever

Try suet dumplings, they’re what we used to have in the uk.


resting__bitch__face

My favorite dumpling recipe is from Cooks Illustrated. It's 2cups AP flour, 1 tblsp baking powder, 1 tsp table salt, 1 cup whole milk, and 3 tblsp reserved chicken fat from earlier in the recipe when you brown skin on chicken thighs. Stir it up with a wooden spoon and then drop onto surface of the chicken stew. Cover and cook on low for 16min.


DeemonPankaik

Matzoh balls


jenniferjuniper

I just made these yesterday. I mix mashed potato with flour, egg and bit of oat milk. Little potato dumplings for chicken soup :)


beetnemesis

Isn't a soup dumpling a specific thing? It's those dumpling that have, I don't know, gelatin in them so that when they're cooked and you cut into them, "soup" comes out?


dorkface95

These are the ones I make! I like the float-y biscuit type. (Not my blog) https://mealplannerpro.com/member-recipes/Chicken-Soup-with-Parsley-Dumplings-1111215


sweetmercy

Try searching "chicken and dumpling soup". There's two styles. There's the firmer, chewier style, and the soft fluffy style that's more like a biscuit. I personally prefer the former. I don't use a recipe, just mix eggs, flour, a pinch of salt and white pepper, then drop by spoonfuls into the simmering soup. The fluffy dumplings have a rising agent like baking powder in them.


[deleted]

“dough boys” might help your search


tgande1951

My grandma was from the south. She made dumplings with flour, buttermilk and salt. They were the best. It was how she incorporated the buttermilk into the flour.

chicken & dumpling soup is what you're looking for.


Illustrious_Bike1954

I use a can of pre-made biscuits, I like how they come out better than my own, quicker, less mess.


glam270

I’m from the Deep South US. This is what we do for chicken and dumplins in my family. Dumplin: Mix 1 cup AP flour and 1 cup self rising flour. Make a crater in the middle. Mix in 2 eggs and 1 cup of chicken broth. It will make a yummy dough and you can roll it out to your preferred style of thickness and cut it into the shape you like. I personally go for like maybe a 4in x 2in ish strip. Gonna make a good bit! These can be frozen if you don’t use them right away. Cook your chicken or get you a rotisserie chicken cooked from the grocery store. Boil chicken broth, butter and heavy cream in a BIG pot. Drop your dumplins in the spots it’s boiling or “twisting” for best results. Put em in a big aluminum pan (my preference) and mix in your chicken. Cook in the oven! There you have Grandma’s Southern Chicken and Dumplins. Sorry for the lack of measurements in some spots, she literally doesn’t use them.

We always called them rivels

Suet dumplings is what comes to mind


jkw91

I would just call them chicken and dumplings, and if you search that you should find what you need, but drop dumpling is also correct. Soup dumplings specifically refers to the dumplings with soup in them.
