Step 1: Mix the Dumpling Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, thyme, pepper, and salt (plus baking powder and soda if using). Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Stir until a stiff dough forms, adding milk one tablespoon at a time only if needed.
Step 2: Boil the Dumplings
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough into the water.
Tip: Dip your spoon into the hot water before scooping the dough—this helps the dumplings slide off easily. Once they float, they’re done. Remove with a slotted spoon.
