How To Make Bisquick Dumplings That Don't Fall Apart And Thicken Your Soup! 

Mom mom used to make these all the time but I never took the time to see how she did them. She died not to long ago and as hard as I tried I could never get them to come out like hers until now!! I tried this recipe last night and was brought back to great time gone by!!! Thank you so very much for bringing a little piece of my mom back to me!! They were AWESOME!!!!!

LARRY, I HAVE BEEN A CHEF FOR OVER 40 YEARS IN WORLD CLASS HOTELS, YOU HAVE TOUGHT ME SOMETHING NEW, THANK YOU!! SOUNDS DELICIOUS

Can you make them right in the soup that’s already made? Also your recipe below shows 1 and 1/3 cup of bisquick but you said one cup in the video?

I just prepared a doubled batch of dumpling using your egg recipe:) I'm a country girl and have eaten dumplings all my life at relatives homes and your recipe is the best I've eaten or prepared!! Thanx Larry :0 Fort Plain New York Girl

Just use a simmering pot of broth never never boiling. This is pretty much how I watched my mom from Louisville Ky. make her dumplings minus the Biscuit mix. Just flour, baking powder some salt & butter and milk. After watching some videos I think I will incorporate using some of the broth but will still use all of the other ingredients noted above. I never included broth before but it seems like that would be good for seasoning. The dumplings come out fluffy but fully cooked in the middle. My recipe makes the dumplings fluffy and cooked in the center and you can see the butter melting in the middle but they are not gummy. Always remember do not have your broth boiling otherwise the dumplings will just melt away.

Larry, Your tip was right on time! I followed your recipe today. My dumplings were fantastic! Can't wait to tell my friends. Thanks again!😇

I often also add chopped green onions and sage to the dumpling mix.

Hey finally someone that does this like me lol and your right the receipe on the box sucks but this way they turn out amazing everytime !!!!!! Don't boil people simmer !!!!!!

now these look like the ones mom used to make!

Thank you larry, I can't wait to try this with my chicken and dumplings. I may have to do two batches so that one can disintegrate for the dumpling gravy.

I am trying this method RIGHT NOW.... it's actually cooking for the first 10 minutes without a lid as I type this I cannot wait to see how it turns out

I tried this tonight. Had to use a little more Bisquick to get the right consistency for the 'pre-cook' dumplin dough - perhaps b/c I had an x-large egg. Cooked exactly as directed & they were perfectly done and did not fall apart. However, they were more "cake like" in consistency than I like my dumplins. I guess I like 'em doughier & juicy from the stew. Glad to have this recipe though. I might try it again w/o the extra Bisquick that I used - just to see if that makes the dumplins turn out less cakey. Also, because I kept adding Bisquick a little at a time, I had to stir it more often than "just to incorporate it"; that might be another reason it was more 'cake like'. (Ironically, though, the video says 1 cup but the recipe in description says 1 & 1/3 & I used even more than that. Anyway, worth your try as well, viewers! They were good & easy.

Video says ONE CUP BISQUICK but written recipes says ONE AND ONE THIRD CUPS. So what has everyone been using?

follow the recipe for the chicken and dumplings to the T dumplings came out wonderful but I kicked it up a notch and made chicken and steak dumpling thank you so much for sharing your video I will be making this again maybe tried with shrimp

My family loved these dumplings. Making them yet again tonight . Thank you so much for sharing the recipe .

Such a simple fix! I sprinkled a little bit of poultry seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder in sifted bisquick. Very tasty.

He is right on with this recipe!! It's the best one that I have used. I use this recipe to make dumplings to put on my crockpot sauerkraut and pork roast for New Years Day. I top the pork roast and kraut with the dumplings about 30 minutes before it's done cooking, and scoop out the dumplings once they're done. I also make some mashed potatoes. The kraut and pork topped on the mashed potatoes and dumplings is delicious. I only make this once a year, as it is definitely "stick to your ribs comfort food" lol. This sauerkraut and pork dish is a tradition in our family, and supposed to bring good luck. Happy New Year 2020!😁

Skip to 3:10 for the actual how-to Ugh. Video says 1 cup Bisquik, written recipe says 1 1/3 cups. I'm not trusting this guy.

Fantastic! They really don't fall apart and the cooking times are perfect

I'm shocked and pleased to find this very succinct recipe instruction was made by a man from my hometown. Ironically I was craving the Front Street Cafe (in Brainerd, Minnesota) chicken and dumpling dunplings. As Larry describes the other way of making dumplings often makes mush. I cannot wait to try this method! Thanks Larry! - Christina Rodahl (former Brainerd girl) and chicken dumpling lover at ❤.

I REMEMBER NOW!!!! YAY!!!!! :-). IT WAS BISQUICK. IM 76 YRS. OLD, WHEN I WAS A BOY, MY MOM WOULD MAKE ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND DELICIOUS FLUFFY AND FLAT HARD DUMPLINGS. MY BAHAMIAN AND JAMAICAN FRIENDS ALL USE THE HARD DUMPLINGS FOR EVERYTHING. BUT I NEVER HAD THE WONDERFUL FLUFFY YELLOW DUMPLINGS MY MOM USED TO MAKE. I REMEMBERED ALL OF HOW SHE COOKED THE WHOLE CHICKEN AND FLAT DUMPLINGS, BUT NOW REMEMBERED THE BISQUICK SITTING ON THE COUNTER. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

So glad you shared this. I had been doing biscuits dumplings in a separate pot of just water for years. I can’t wait to try your tricks!

Thank you!! I was stressing because I'm not great at making these. They turned out perfect!!

Finally someone who has a fix to this recipe. I have been making these for 40 years and they never fell apart. My mother never used an egg. But your fix makes sense. I just made a batch without your idea so I’ll have to wait till next time. I even let the dough sit to rise a bit. Thank you for your idea. My sons will be happy eating my chicken and dumplings again.

You are my new hero!!!!! I started making dumplings from scratch cause my Bisquick dumplings alwayyyys fell apart!! Now I can finally have those yummy fluffy Bisquick ones like my mom made! Thanks so much hun! Much appreciated!

OMG, heck YES!! FLUFFY DUMPLINGS!!! Thank you for posting this. I will be attempting to make them soon.Chicken and dumplings is one of my fav meals.

Yummy my Gran would be proud of these dumplings. I use to watch her make them but I forgot to add the egg like she did. Thank you Larry. My Gran Will be smiling now.. R.i.p Gran

Wow ! I’m 65 and been looking for these exact texture dumplings 🥟 since I was 18 when I ate them at a friend’s house 🏠... Thank you can’t wait till morning to make this -I’ll be back ! .... 💐 2-18-2020

I'm trying this tonight! Mine always fall apart so I'm adding the egg and I hope they stay together, that'd be wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Reminds me of Grandma's Recipe. How I miss her cookin. Thanks Larry!

Fluuuuffy Baaallllls!

Awesome! tjanks Larry

Larry loved your dumplings with egg! Excellent

Wow...Thank you Larry " GREAT IDEA " It is snowing right now in Colorado (Our 1st snow of the season ) & very cold day, so I thought what would be great to have & I chose Chicken & Dumpling's & your idea is wonderful. I am new here & yes I did subscribed.

I love to make bisquick dumplings...never in the past 40+ years ever had trouble with them falling apart or thickening g the broth. Yummy...Peace out..

You are a genius. I usually resort to making my own which are ok, just more work. I was reading how wonderful and fast Bisquick was so I decided to try it. I was soo upset, they all just disintegrated in the broth. The broth has to be just right so they stay whole. I could never get the broth temp just right and I gave up, till I seen your method. I believe the egg does make all the difference. Excellent advice.

omg we just made these, this should be the bisquick recipe it is perfection!!!! ♡♡♡

Me too. Love dumplings with bisquick

I'm blown away by this recipe. Easy and my family enjoyed nice fluffy dumplings. Thank you

Smart I thought the same thing a big wide pan... lots of dumplings. I made some before I saw this using pancake mix Put chicken broth and cream of chicken soup season and dropped in that. You can take dumpling out and pour in your soup after skimmed. Not to waste and than add dumpling to whole soup is what I did. Besides heating my soup to boiling longer started burning my veggies. But I am going to try your way next time.

I'll try my hand at the Bisquick dumplings again tonight and see how it goes. Thanks!

By adding the egg I would think they are more like making matzo balls. I will try adding the egg. Mine turn out like Goo Balls. Hello from St. Paul by the way. :-)

Doin' it right as I comment broth is coming up to a simmer. I'm Nervous ! Your's looks so Delish. Wish me Luck and Thank-You So Much

I used to use Tea-bisk, here in Canada and that disappeared, then I switched to Bisquick and have used it for years. I have never had a dumpling fall apart but I did the same thing the old recipe from Tea-bisk. I left the top on the whole time.

Your measurement above say 1 1/3 cup Bisquick but in the video (3:25) you say 1 cup of Bisquick.

These are my favorite I grew up on them. I only make my dumplings with Bisquick.

The comments beside your recipe calls for 1 and 1/3 cup of Bisquick, but in the video you say use only 1 cup. Which is it?

I made them last night without the milk and they came out great!!. Thank you. 🤗

This is a 6 year old video! Anywho. I made a batch tonight. Haven't made them in a while and needed the measurements because it's not on the box, anymore. 💯

This was a complete failure. I did exactly what he says and it was just a soupy mess. I put it on a very low simmer and the just fell apart and never got done. I’m so mad right now.

I’m not exactly sure what I did wrong lol. My dough looked more like a paste. I’m guessing I mixed it too much lol

Can you double the recipe? Or does your recipe using 1 cup make a full pot of dumplings using a small tablespoon?

Thank you sir. I am about to try your recipe for dinner tonight .

Just made a big pot of beef stew ~ then adding the dumplings on top! Dinner DONE!😋😉

You, are my new Best Friend👍💝. Thank you and Blessings 🙏👏

quick question, will they be fluffy....................................................................

Worse I’ve ever made. They fell apart to nothing and ruined my meal.

Thank you Larry

Thanks for the video, your way works beautifully!

Thank you for this! Bisquick needs your recipe!

Boiling liquid moves more then simmering liquid.

Awesome! Thanks Larry

Glad to hear this. We always want more dumplings. Thanks

Will this method work in a crockpot? Thanks.

Thank you for posting this recipe

sounds awesome. I think last year you didn't put eggs in your dumplings?

Ty, fluffy dumplings 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank You. Great meal anytime.

Just made it for dinner, dumplings were awesome

My Mom use to make these in her chicken stew delicious!

They will fall apart if the soup is boiling.

Amazing dumplings ! Thank you for posting this.

now that a good ideal ! just that reason ive been using woop biskets ! thanks

I tried this recipe as ND it turned out terrible. I added more Bisquick and it didn't fall apart as much. Next time I'll try adding some baking powder also salt and seasonings. I don't understand why following his directions made my dumplings w absolutely no texture and I didn't overmix. Way too thin!!

Thank you for saving my day my friend

I'm going to use the bisquik dumpling recipe, some leftover codfish that I pan fried up and flaked up, and dill chopped up. So the dumpling will be the main part of the meal instead of a filler base. Thank you for the tips!

I just found you while in my search for dumplings. It's not very often you hear/see a video from someone living in the same town you used to live in!! 😊 It caught .y attention right away! THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this recipe! I used to have one very similar to this year's ago! was so happy to find this!! 😊🎉❤

Bad timing for me! I was making dumplings and not adding an egg. I did, however, put the dumplings in a separate pot with broth. This was BEFORE I found your video. So they'll be ready pretty soon and I hope they don't fall apart and are good even without the egg. Next time, however, I will make them like you did!

LARRY ~ you were SooOooo Close! lol If you want perfect fluffy dumplings, follow Larry's directions for the mix and STOP - do NOT over mix! Then, using a little of your chicken soup or a broth, bring it to a light rolling boil in a large deep covered pot - THE TRICK _ you're going to need a calendar that is slightly larger then the pot so it sits within the rim and a cover can be added without crushing the dumplings. Follow Larry's other instructions after you have enough of these DEFRICKING-LICIOUS dumplings to have one extra per person - trust me - they'll eat them like candy@! Take Care and Keep the Smokers Going!!!!

I have used Bisquick to make dumplings for years and all I do is add extra bisquick after I have mixed up the 2 cups of bisquick and 2/3 cup of milk. I gradually add the bisquick to the point that the dough is not sticking to your hands. You have to be careful not to handle the dough to much or it will become tough.

Hi, I just did a side by side Larry of yours and some other woman’s recipe on RU-vid. Your right on here. Question, would a little more egg be okay for those who may like a little bit firmer? But this recipe is right on. I added fresh parsley to the batter, and onion powder. I’ll find out how they hold up overnight, separated from the soup. And your right about don’t do a bunch in the current soup. I forgot about your tip and had about less than have the soup content I started with.

Thank you! Okay, they didn't fall apart on me this time but I won't be adding the egg next time. They made the consistency too much like cake rather than a biscuit. I needed them to be just a bit denser. Otherwise, great! Bisquick box is wrong to say to drop on a rolling boil. WRONG! Your dumplings will dissolve! If you like a chicken dumpling soup this is it! (Sometimes, I do crave the soup to be thicker, though.I know how to do that.) Thanks for the vid!

I love your video charming

Fantastic ! Thank you 😊

Larry, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Thank u going to do it this way 😍

This is why you should never read instructions. Go with your gut. Always. And listen to Grandma. I've always added egg with my Bisquick dumplings and I never overcook with great results. Why? Because this is how Grandma did it 50 years ago.

I love the thick soup with no veggies. It’s sort of like gravy, but then there are never enough dumplings. I have never tried the egg. I never measure, just go by look and feel of the dough. I will try your dumpling recipe tonight, but I will use buttermilk. I hope it’s good. I love me some Chickn’ n Dumplins.

Thank you for solving the mystery as to why dumplings traditionally fall apart and dissolve in the stew or soup. I will definitely try your recipe soon. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year 2022.

thanks for this Mr.Hall

Your not really supposed to drop the dumplings into "soup." You drop them on the top of a stew. The reason why the break apart on top of the soup is because there's too much liquid. You make a good stew and only have enuff liquid to cover the meat and vegetables.that way they dont sink into the liquid and break apart.

Hi LARRY. I am making these for a beef stew, so would I use beef broth? And how much broth do you use?

Good to know!

That a great idea! Thanks!

Great Video and I am going to make the dumplings tomorrow for beef stew. My question is how much broth do I use to cook the dumplings?

Did you say Brainerd Mn?

My family and I only use the recipe! They get so excited for chicken and dumpling night.

These are soooo delicious! My kids devour them and have to negotiate who gets the last one. Making these again right now for our beef stew 😋 TY!

This sound amazing!!!❤

Do you add 1 1/3 cup of Bisquick or 1 cup Bisquick. In your video you say 1 cup. Thanks.
