I think you forgot to mention adding either milk or water to this mixture. I followed your recipe and couldn’t form round lumps as the mixture was like cornmeal in texture. I looked up all other recipes for dumplings and they all called for either a cup of milk or water.
these are pefect! no extra liqids required.
I have never used milk or water. I have always made my dumpling with the ingredients listed. Might just need more flour. I always gradually add flour, stir, add more, stir. And just test it as I go until it reaches the desired consistency.
