Ingredients
  

  • Peas & Stock
  • 2 cans sweet peas drained (or 1 bag frozen or 4 cups fresh, hulled and cooked peas)
  • 4 cups milk 2%
  • 2 sticks butter I never said this was healthy!
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Dumplings:
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Peas & Stock
  • Bring the milk and butter to a simmer in a large pot. Season and carefully add in the peas and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a rolling boil.
  • While you're waiting for your stock to boil make the dumplings.
  • Dumplings:
  • Sift together the dry ingredients. Mix in the milk and butter and form a dough ball.
  • Pinch off pieces of the dough (I use a cookie dough scoop for uniform sizing), roll into balls and carefully drop into the boiling stock.
  • Cook for 10 minutes or until dumplings are cooked.
