Dumpling Preparation
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering beef mixture. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.
Serving

For extra flavor, add your favorite herbs like thyme or rosemary to the beef mixture. Make sure not to overmix the dumpling batter; mixing just until combined will keep them fluffy. If you like a thicker sauce, simmer the beef mixture a bit longer before adding the dumplings.
